I feel like burrowing through the dirt should have taken more time than walking through previously dug paths or something. It felt like I was just walking around a room with cops too dumb to leave the edge. Good idea, needs iteration."},{"author_name":"KirbiKaka","author_uid":"35365","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 7:47am","epoch":1398757320,"text":"This is definitely one of my favorite games I've played so far! The animation at the beginning is crazy! And the art and music capture the mood really well! Personally, (and this is just my 2 cents of course) I would have liked if the entire game ran just a little bit faster. Running back to your van can feel tedious, it would be nice if you ran faster in paths you already dug out (which would also make people plan their paths more). Also the drills fall a bit too slowly to pose a dangerous threat, so the difficulty of the game feels like it scales really slowly. As long as you stay at least moderately deep underground, you're untouchable. Overall, an awesome game! I loved playing it and kudos y'all :]!"},{"author_name":"Dreii","author_uid":"24533","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 8:25am","epoch":1398759600,"text":"Cool! never played a graverobber game before ;) The music was one of the best ive heard so far! the gameplay got a little repetitive, needed a bit more challenge but with some more stuff and polish I could easily see something like this on steam!"},{"author_name":"dsoft20","author_uid":"8795","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 9:05am","epoch":1398762000,"text":"Great entry, nice graphics && music.\rI really love the light effects :D"},{"author_name":"SoupWithBits","author_uid":"37409","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 9:19am","epoch":1398762840,"text":"love the music and art.

I got to level 6, or 7, I don't know. The character is so slow, and it starts off with so little perils. I still don't know the effects of being spotted.
