Controls are annoying (No repeat on keys? urgh.) and there's no risk to just mining the whole place out, and no reward for it."},{"author_name":"Ryan","author_uid":"3326","time":"Dec 20, 2010 @ 8:21am","epoch":1292832960,"text":"This game isn't terribly interesting, its rather repetitive. Some form of death or time limit might make it more challenging."},{"author_name":"ranklar","author_uid":"3268","time":"Dec 21, 2010 @ 2:36am","epoch":1292898660,"text":"I think some of my brain cells died... ok it wasn't that bad, but it was not really fun.  I mined up until a score of 1000 just to make sure I was not missing anything.  I enjoyed your intro, just would have liked a little creativity... boxes and miners... uh ok.  Sound please!  Decent submission mate."},{"author_name":"ThatSnail","author_uid":"3051","time":"Dec 21, 2010 @ 7:49pm","epoch":1292960640,"text":"Not bad but nothing special.  Gets rather boring quickly.  And frankly I also went to 1000 for the same reason ranklar did (before reading his comment).  Go figure.  Again, not bad though.  Good luck."},{"author_name":"Tom 7","author_uid":"1984","time":"Dec 24, 2010 @ 5:54pm","epoch":1293212940,"text":"Congrats on your first outing. :) I chuckled at the intro story. There is not much to do in the game since there's no danger or resource limitations or constraints; I just made an efficient pattern to cover the grid and picked up gems when I discovered them. 600 points before I gave up."},{"author_name":"Endurion","author_uid":"103","time":"Dec 29, 2010 @ 7:19am","epoch":1293606840,"text":"It's starting out promising but then doesn't really deliver.\r<br\/>You've got the basic mechanic down. Now you need some challenge. There is no way to die or to win. Also, having to repeatedly release\/press keys is rather annoying."},{"author_name":"badlydrawnrod","author_uid":"745","time":"Dec 31, 2010 @ 1:38pm","epoch":1293802380,"text":"It is good that you entered Ludum Dare and submitted something. The intro was intriguing, and I'm sure with more time the game would have lived up to it."}],"images":["ld19\/3499-526d875a4600aa8d7b9ebd890be4581c.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/6436787\/BoxMiner.zip","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"33357","g_author":"3499","g_event":"LD19","g_eventkey":"5","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"33387","g_title":"BoxMiner","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"217","g_commentcount":"7","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\/\/33232\/3499-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"<\/p>","title":"BoxMiner"}
