You and your game, sir, deserve more votes and comments! I'd love to see this concept extended :) (I'll admit I have a kink for mining game with resource management)"},{"author_name":"allinlabs","author_uid":"2908","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 3:49pm","epoch":1398959040,"text":"Some ideas to make the game even cooler:\r<br\/> * metrics system to see how deep we are (or some other stats)\r<br\/> * unified treasure\/gems system, so i can buy whatever I want\r<br\/> * infinite (or at least larger) map ?\r<br\/> * went to the bottom, but there were nothing special. an end game would be cool but I suppose you ran out of time\r<br\/> * upgrades"},{"author_name":"byExclusive","author_uid":"37316","time":"May 2, 2014 @ 7:11am","epoch":1399014360,"text":"Nice game)))))"},{"author_name":"ripatti","author_uid":"15853","time":"May 2, 2014 @ 8:30am","epoch":1399019100,"text":"Good game!
