AntiMine 3000 by Doccrazy

made by Doccrazy for LD29 (COMPO)

EDIT: I uploaded version 1.1 that fixes some reported bugs. It is up to you which version you want to judge.
--------------------------------------------------------

Ever wondered where those lava fields come from that mysteriously appear below you when your inventory is filled with diamonds?

Take a trip beneath the surface, to the other side of the game, and find out!
--------------------------------------------------------

Instructions:
- The AI Miners are trying to get valuable ores. The bottom left shows what they are after now
- Your task is to stop them. Place hazardous blocks by selecting them from the top left and placing them in the world.
- You can't place blocks in the open. Try to lay traps and anticipate the miner's movements.

I love the idea but for some reason when I run it the miners keep arbitrarily dying. Maybe from fall damage?

I really want to play

Nice work! At first, I didn't really get what to do (I thought I had to control the miners), but after a while I got the hang of it. Commence slaughter!

The miners appear to be dying instantaneously in showers of colorful loot. Is that intentional? I'm not getting any points from it.

As the others have mentioned the miners die on spawn. No instructions clearly tell you how to play.

Sorry about the random death due to fall damage. The mechanic doesn't work too well but I had no more time to fix it.
Also there appears to be a scoring bug (you only get points from level 2 up).

I added instructions to the game description.

The poor miners, nooo! lol.

I can see where you wanted to take the game, and the execution isn't bad. Mood and graphics work.

Keep up the work!
