Wait, is that it? Maybe an extended mode where we can keep digging after the game ends?
Also, maybe the music should get faster instead of slower as your time runs out?
Anyway, awesome game, thanks for taking the time to create it!

Needs a way to restart from any screen. Just pause is annoying. I play most miner type games and I'm just not seeing anything really outstandingly new. Also - Need a way to do a NEW game. Sorry. I'm not clearing the cache every time I need to start over. The whole "mine" for wood thing went past me and then I was screwed with no way to try again.

Coal is used frequently, but once you're making the bombs and tools that use gold, iron becomes basically useless. And since you burned through coal quickly, it was bad to go past the first 2 layers.
Emeralds were basically always useless so once you got past layer 2 the only thing worth going for was gold so you could make bombs, but the best way to mine it was by using bombs...
Needed more expendables, or at least stuff that used some of the other stuff in higher concentrations.

You get wood by "mining" the trees. You must go left or right immediately, before digging down even one square.
Forks increase your sight radius. The difference isn't huge.

I beat this game then all the progress is lost and it restarts like you've never even played. It was a neat game for 10-15 minutes then it punishes you for beating it. No point to keep playing this after you beat it.

Just beat using elixir of youth, golden drill, and 35 big bombs. I went straight down and then started bombing when I hit ruby.

instead of having a super slow auto mining down mechanism , why not a super fast mining animation with the down arrow key? Why bother the tiny little jump every time digging down? I think 30% of the time i've spent on this game is waiting for the little guy to drop down every block so slowly .

I would love a separate mute button for the music. I always find it better if I can choose to have sound effects and my own music!

To get wood push left immediately at the begin mining screen. Attacking a tree with a pickaxe is a strange thing, but it will be worth it.

At the start, instead of digging down, press right or left. You'll hack trees for the wood. I'm sure some of you didn't know about this.

not too hard, a little brain teasing and grinding. Hard mode and infinite mode would be interesting. Also breaking the earth core

at the second try i had 25 days left in the for my score... had to guess the golden pickaxe after day 1 and the philosopher stone after day 4. (although the last one was on the day i reached the core.) tip: only use bomb's when you have 25% time left. and hoard coal in the first layer and aim for gold in the third for your bombs.

Allow an option to reset game, keep playing after win, and turn off focus lock. Otherwise a great little mining game ala motherload.
