It might be an idea to add the ability to discard things you pick up. I'm currently mining for diamonds and getting a lot of coal and iron ore.

As the top score is in the billions I would guess that your protection from manipulation isn't working quite as planned ;)
It's "César-Auguste-Jean-Guillaume-Hubert Franck - Sonata for Cello and Piano - IV. Allegretto poco mosso" performed by Paul Pitman, in the public domain ^^ As Paul Pitman is a piano player, I suppose he played the piano. He is listed as performer on musopen, they don't say who played the cello.

As others said, yes it definitely needs more. Currently the only strategy is dig, find rock you can't dig through, go further to the side, move more over, find some ore, return when backpack is full or when out of wood. I don't know if mobs would fit quite yet, but yeah, lava/water pits would be cool. Some more explanation, and knowing quite what leveling up does would be nice (If it does anything). Maybe the ability to hire workers to lower cost of wood, or construct buildings that would generate money or wood over time, like a lumber mill or a bank. I don't think it would have to be anything complicated. Maybe at higher levels you could take one space without wood and it wouldn't cave in. Just some suggestions, right now I'd give it a 3/5. With some additions it could be great.

Maybe you should consider making the saves from previous updates working. I've been playing this since it came out and its boring to start all from scratch again because of the new updates.
yeah thats really unfortunate and i'm really really sorry O.o I had to build in protection from manipulation as people would hack their savegame files O.o send me a pm and we might be able to figure out something

I think my biggest issue with this game is you have to dig out too much of the map. Having half the map full of wooden beams...
Yes, I've noticed that and dislike that myself. With the next update though, the real fun will begin. You'll be able to decorate your mine and place furniture, carpets, tables, doors, living rooms, bed rooms.. etc..etc... everything you can imagine (submissions/suggestions most welcome) I hope that will fix this issue - at least a little ^^

If your planning on doing elevators or carts, instead of buying it at a little store, why not traders come along with a recipe to build it, Items to build it etc etc?
Btw, I agree with illucoran, Mobs, Magma, Why not underwater lakes?
Why not, depending on the weather, it affects how you play?

Major problem: I ran out of wood and can't buy more I would be nice to be able to get some wood so long as you have some money.
Also: How the hell can there be a cave in when the only thing above me is air?
Are you sure there aren't any blocks of the light brown soil left? There should be thousands! Another thing is, you can mine without wood, it's just not suggested... Regarding the cave-in: The world isn't flat. There is still soil in front of you and behind you. I still makes a lot of sense.

Went to far left, avatar disappeared, screen switched to the right side, and no longer able to use controls, too buggy to be played at this point

Since this game looks king of like motherload you can consider adding artifacts which are rare but cost more. Make them foundable anywhere because to save for a first pick axe you have to play for at least an hour.

Has a lot of potential but at this stage its barely a 2. First you need a menu where you can mute or reset in case you get stuck. Also the game is very unbalanced, I've been playing for more than 20 minutes and barely have money to buy wood, not even talking about buying a pickaxe to dig deeper. At this point the game is VERY repetitive (which can be fine) and you dont feel any sense of accomplishment. Also speeding up the game would be fine, as you dig deeper or further, the amount of walking increases, so I do 1 minute of digging and 2 minutes of walking, very annoying. Fix/add those things and this came could be a 4.
Hey, I made the lower levels quicker by increasing rates of coal and iron. Also i added 7(!) more shops along the surface to avoid walking too much. Hope that helps. Thank you for your comments! I will add more features once I find the time. ^^
Dou you want an autopilot so you can just watch the game play itself? ^^ Sorry, seriously though, I *have* been thinking about transportation but only if you really earn it and work hard - very - hard for the money to buy an elevator or cart.. They'll be expensive. ;)

I'm afraid I can only give the game a 2 ("basic functionality" on my scale) in its present form. Simply putting it’s boring. I got to the steel pickaxe and then quit due to lack of interest. There is no overarching goal and no challenge, no strategy and it lacks the charm of Farm of Souls and other “unending” games. Here are some random ideas: consider adding some threats (magma pockets? mobs?); make the player consider their resources, how about different areas require different amounts/types of wood so the players need to think if they want to spend more on a chance of getting more; some way to return to the shop or move around faster (elevators? carts?) going back for 3 minutes is a pain. Technical stuff: the tune is nice but gets very tiring after a while, how about a mute button? It's possible to step outside the playing field (at least to the left) and for me the shop was either extremely unresponsive or caused some horrible lag, this last thing may be machine specific.
Thank you for your comment. As I have written this is a work in progress. Some of your ideas do make sense, and some things are under way but I really do think you have a different type of game in mind than I do. ^^

good game, but starts to get a bit unresponsive after a while. I found myself having to hold down the spacebar in order to sell my crap

I like this game. A lot. What about a tutorial so people know what they're doing here though? Oh, and also, what about a way to know if a neighbohoring square has minerals?
