I felt like it wasn't giving me enough minerals to reasonably use the shield more than once per trip, although I may have held on to the few I had for too long as I died. \r\rThe audio combined with the storytelling each trip made for a great combination and the graphics matched the quality. Very well done."},{"author_name":"@TeddyNashor","author_uid":"24963","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:08am","epoch":1408942980,"text":"Worked for me!
