I enjoyed your game, had me hooked for a while. I htink it would be nice if the tunnel was wider at the start, the getting thinner over time - i died about 10 times during the first few turns. Didn't really know what to do when i reached the first miner so just continued on and then died again. I didn't recognise the artwork? I remember you making different tiles at 8bit?

Thanks for the feedback!\r\r@Philip - Those are some really good ideas, thanks for the feedback :D Yeah xD I think maybe I should've thought about the learning curve a little more as it kind of throws you straight in and is tricky. \r\rThe miners just up your supply delivered count by 1 when you bump into them :) There's 5 of them to get, although the main point is to get to the supply miner at the bottom, so that's the important one ^^\r\rand yeah, I re-made the tile sheet when I got home because I wasn't happy with the stuff I'd made, the other sprites were just a place holder for a little bit until I got home and could use a proper drawing program :)\r\rThe only issue with jamming at 8bit is my laptop is almost 7 years old now, so it takes forever to load the play-tests and it's not powerful enough to have any of the usual drawing tools I use working smoothly. Maybe next time I'll figure out a way to bring my main computer down with me as I do enjoy jamming with other people around :D It's just a really inefficient use of my time waiting for play tests that take 10 mins to load when my desktop does it in 20 seconds xD \r\rThank you for the comments :)"},{"author_name":"Magdev","author_uid":"3935","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 4:08pm","epoch":1398787380,"text":"Congratulations on your first LD :)"},{"author_name":"OhFiddleDiddle","author_uid":"28661","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 4:21pm","epoch":1398788160,"text":"Fantastic game with cute graphics.\rAlthough the audio when dying, which I did a lot of, is very...

Nice music and a good difficulty level too - however, I would like it if there was maybe a checkpoint at each miner... it took me quite a few tries to reach the 2nd miner though I eventually got the hang of it but then on dying near, say, the 4th miner and having to do (and sometimes fail and re-do) all the early tunnels over again was a bit of a pain. Still, it's overall very fun and compelling to try again! Well done :)"},{"author_name":"castlecake","author_uid":"36518","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 1:01pm","epoch":1398862560,"text":"Nice game! It was fun, but the audio was extremely striking whenever I died, especially as I was always concentrating so hard! Died about 30 times only getting as far as two miners (too tough for me, so I didn't finish, sorry!), but I love the crayon graphics and the music track."},{"author_name":"cr2crstudios","author_uid":"37025","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 3:20pm","epoch":1398870900,"text":"Cute!
