The game-play also felt solid, it was just a bit too slow. Too much grinding for small rewards and I felt like my progress was slowing with depth rather than increasing because of the long climb.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Fantastic work on the presentation and solid game all round. I'd love to see this game continued and expanded upon."},{"author_name":"fluidvolt","author_uid":"26913","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 9:03pm","epoch":1398718680,"text":"The pixel art is lovely, and the digging mechanic was fun to work with.
