While an interesting mechanic, burrow in a of itself doesn't hold up the game enough. It's a great start, but adding in something else is needed in order to really make the game engaging.\r(Don't get me wrong, it's fun, it just gets a bit boring after level 2, as there isn't really anything new at that point; any new enemies are still one hits, shoot at you, etc, to my knowledge.)\rAlso, it was tedious to restart from the beginning, rather than the level you were on. It just takes a long time.\rApart from that, the graphics were good, the animations were good, I really did like the burrow mechanic, overall it's good.\rWell done!"},{"author_name":"Geckoo1337","author_uid":"35835","time":"Sep 1, 2015 @ 4:46am","epoch":1441082460,"text":"Really good project.
