Great start, you should finish this one. Maybe push it into a Jam entry? :)

This was much harder than it first appeared, proper planning was needed in most levels. It was fun for a while. I liked the manual.

Good job - the gameplay ended up being deeper than I expected. You should definitely polish it up and release it somewhere.

Nice, I had fun once I figured out the depth of the strategy. I played several times after that, but I never saw one of these "very easy" levels. Once I had 1225 points, but it still didn't tell me to get to the surface. What's a guy got to do?!

For such a simple concept the game is insanely difficult. Good work!

Well I got all the minerals, and was left disappointed at that point. Decent enough game, just seems like it needed a bit more to make it really fun, at least for me.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Just iron out the bugs and it's a win. Somehow something's missing yet, maybe either don't force the player to gather all ore and/or let him use the ore to buy new equipment or somesuch.

Having to go up again proves not easy. ;)

I liked it, it's harder than it appears. If you extend this into a 'full' (i.e. polished) game, it needs adjustable difficulty, I think; or possibly just some check on the water. It'd be nice to be able to drain an area by flooding dumping it into the area below it; as it stands, you just end up with twice as much water.

Great entry, challenging and fun.
There seems to be a memory leak when you dig under some water.

Ah! This was awesome! Could have used a few more features and this would have been really great.
