Great job! I would have liked to be able to dig upwards, though I can see why you decided to scrap the idea. A couple of the tails under the stores should probably be made indestructible. Since the game doesn't have an endless mode, it would be great to have a simple score system and compete with friends to see who can get the most resources in 7 days.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1135036,"author_name":"munmungames","author_uid":"munmungames","epoch":1744152456,"text":"It's like that good old motherload flash game (or \"a game about digging a hole\" more recently), nice that you've made this in such a short amount of time !
