And that I was seeing the perspective of an asteroid rather than a SPACE MINER.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>For that minority (of one, it seems :( ) of us playing games on netbooks or, the game goes outside the screen. (I'm playing at a 1024x600 resolution at the moment)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, I don't have a mouse for the time being, so I thank you for having arrows switch between tools. It would have been more comfortable to play if you had the left and right arrow keys move the cone around as well."},{"author_name":"chambers","author_uid":"11981","time":"May 2, 2012 @ 12:25am","epoch":1335918000,"text":"Quite addictive! The game is very short, but for a longer game with more puzzles I'd considering including an easy way of understanding how many horizontal tiles the planet has, instead of moving the mouse around, because this number changes depending on the puzzle.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Besides that, very fun puzzle game! Congrats! If you're thinking of making a longer version of it, consider adding new terrain types and other kinds of tools!"}],"images":["ld23\/724-610c855b20a48b325e4401ec478f30c2.jpg","ld23\/724-a2edc55793ceb52ede9205fd8a6ddc84.jpg","ld23\/724-1c5e9bb5d202372710d4b07a43048954.jpg","ld23\/724-e9b3c45aca9db26316596947f6e9e42f.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/37624951\/LD%2023\/SUPER_SPACE_MINER.zip","text":"Windows + Source (.zip, 1.4 MB)"},{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/37624951\/LD%2023\/music.mp3","text":"Music (.mp3, 2.0 MB)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"31326","g_author":"724","g_event":"LD23","g_eventkey":"10","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"31356","g_title":"SUPER SPACE MINER","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"193","g_commentcount":"13","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/724-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/724-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/724-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/724-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"SUPER SPACE MINER is a game about MINING in SPACE for MAGIC SPACE MOON ORE.
