It's interesting how much more, well, interesting, the game got as more characters got added. Once there was 4-5 of them I had a really good time dodging and trying not to corner myself. Well done!"},{"author_name":"Slashee the Cow","author_uid":"29123","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 8:57am","epoch":1450169520,"text":"I felt movement was a little awkward with only being able to move a square at a time and no diagonals.

It'd be nice to be able to move with the keyboard, though - moving with the mouse wasn't super responsive.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's really satisfying when you do manage to trap the enemies, though."},{"author_name":"Hackbug","author_uid":"58578","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 8:15pm","epoch":1450210200,"text":"Good idea, i like it, it's a little bit difficult to start with the shifting, but after it's ok and fun :) \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice animations !"},{"author_name":"bradur","author_uid":"40138","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 9:21pm","epoch":1450214160,"text":"Good game, could have used some sounds \/ music :).\r<br\/>I liked the graphics and the gameplay very much.

Its an excellent idea and nicely executed. The animation of the characters is just great and the gameplay feels satisfying.

The goal of the game is to trap all of your opponents in the ground while avoiding enemy fire or trapping yourself. You have three lives. When you lose a life or start the game you gain a temporary shield for a few seconds. The levels go up to 30 and each level adds an enemy.\r\n\r\nThe two buttons are left and right click. Left clicking on an area highlighted in green will move your character there (you can move to spaces in the same row or column as your player). Right clicking on a space adjacent to you (not diagonal) will dig a hole in the ground. After three seconds, the grass will grow back, filling up the hole.\r\n\r\nControls (see above for specifics):\r\nLeft Click - Move\r\nRight Click - Dig hole","title":"Dig Runner"}
