The random number generator screwed me a bit though on the score system. Since it produced very little blue hexes during my playtime, that was my lowest scoring gem. This is well polished, but I find the connection to the theme very missing. Yes, you called this a mining game, but that seems like merely a nod to the theme."},{"author_name":"GreatBigJerk","author_uid":"36263","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 8:43pm","epoch":1398890280,"text":"Very cool puzzle game!
