A few noticeable bugs\/issues but very fun if you ignore those.  Biggest complaint is that it doesn't seem like you can shoot when you're in the air if you started holding right click while underground; makes it feel unresponsive.  The tunneling\/shooting mechanics feel really good overall though - definitely the best part!"},{"author_name":"fueelin","author_uid":"3827","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 11:50pm","epoch":1398728700,"text":"Oh, also - totally love the 'angry shooting face'."},{"author_name":"GlowingSnail","author_uid":"36700","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 12:25am","epoch":1398730800,"text":"Excellent game mechanics. Flowing swiftly into the earth to grab gems, then jumping into the air, deploying guns and blazing some dudes, before diving again in the depth. Feels good, and is quite original. The graphics are of the MS-Paint style, but it's LD48, and anyway they do the job.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I kinda wish we didn't have to use the two mouse buttons to fire, especially since it won't work if right key is held before breaking the surface. Also, maybe some animation when we die? My TunnelGunner just stops moving after a while, and I can only guess that it's due to a lack of health."},{"author_name":"AngryPriest","author_uid":"36582","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 10:19am","epoch":1398766440,"text":"Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah I totally agree with you on the mouse buttons to fire business. Having to wait till you're overground to press right mouse button is a total bummer and is a bug.\r<br\/>I'm glad you like it though, and really appreciate the feedback. I'll definitely revisit it and try fix it up after the competition"},{"author_name":"jujule","author_uid":"13894","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 10:45pm","epoch":1398811200,"text":"It took a little while to get used to but I did enjoy it.
