Because of my mc training I was scared to dig straight down at first =) but after a while I really started to like drilling all over the place and pickup up crystals. then, late in the game, I noticed that you had implemented flowing lava!!!! nice work!!!!! I wish there were sounds. Overall, an extremely cool entry. Great use of the theme, since the return to your ship can be a harrowing experience, even more scary than the dig downward, the idea to need to build ladders is so good. Really nice work.</p>\n"},{"typ":2,"at":222566012,"author":"Joep van Duinen","url":"https://poki.com","twitter":"joepvduinen","text":"<p>Greatly done</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Awesome game, with a few adjustments it could easily be featured on our platform</li>\n<li>The game is super rich in features and character powers for only 13kb</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Suggestions</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Space or enter to start might be a more natural way of jumping back into the game ;)</li>\n<li>Directing the players to where the diamonds are located might clarify the objective (solely depending on the text based explanation might not get their attention).</li>\n</ul>\n"},{"typ":2,"at":225418570,"author":"Jupiter Hadley","login":"Jupiter-hadley","gh":97069389,"url":"www.jupiterhadley.com","twitter":"Jupiter_Hadley","text":"<p>Nice little game!
