Doesn't matter when I clicced - just after starting, while digging - it always blocks input. Only restart helps.\r\rSome thoughts:\r- Score should grow only when you go deeper underground.\r- Short tutorial would be great. At first I didn't know what should I hit to regain fuel.\r- More tiles! Ex. water that slows down ;)\r\rAnd although I don't like this kind of games, I think your idea have potential as mobile."},{"author_name":"Delca","author_uid":"24934","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 2:26pm","epoch":1399126860,"text":"A nice little game, which could be even better with some audio.

You seem to have given some thought to the general progression, a consideration not usually given to LD entries. You start out with a lot of fuel lying around so you can really get into things quickly, then eventually lava starts to appear in small amounts, eventually ramping up.\r\rGood job"},{"author_name":"JaJ","author_uid":"5496","time":"May 10, 2014 @ 4:23pm","epoch":1399738680,"text":"This is a good start!

Now it is your job to control it, grab the minerals, don't run out of fuel and get to the depths of our planet.
