It was fun to mine but the time was too short! Also I didn't figure out how to build the second house. The two objectives (collect gold, dig as deep as possible) seemed kinda unrelated.
I think the one-minute time limit was too short, it didn't give me enough time to understand what was going on and learn to play the game more effectively. I'd say this was the biggest issue with the game. (About this: "Now that you have collected x gold in the free play mode, try the 1-minute challenge")
My only miner once got stuck. (In general the pathfinding worked pretty well, as others said.)
Seems this was your first Ludum Darem right? So, welcome and see you on the next one!
