Needed some music and maybe a little bit of combat.

Nice. It would be nice if the bots chased the player.

Took me a while to figure out you had to hold the mining button down (I kept tapping it and wondering why nothing happened). Would have liked to see some other level designs, or something where the levels layout added some more strategy to the game; however, as nice solid first entry complete with sound and nice fluid control.

Made it to level 9 with a score of 6415. Nice and solid, although perhaps a bit uneventful.

Could have used maybe some more exciting bits! like combat or something.

Excellent little game! Reached the unobtainium level, but could not go further because of lack of time.
Graphics were good, but you should say somewhere that 'Z' is to be hold to mine.
Once I understood that, the game was entertaining. Good job!

Very complete game. Nice graphic style. Just pressing Z worked fine for me. Better chance to find more time bonuses would help.

The mining mechanic could become an interesting one, if the game was tweaked a lot. The enemies definitely need to be more dangerous, and the pace has to be increased. Got to level 10, with 6985 points, 2 platinum found.

Liked the graphics, but finding out how to properly mine takes a while, as you have to press Z (not hold, as some think) and don't move until he has finished mining. That's why I often accidently interrupted my mining by moving right before it finished. Would be great if holding Z would prevent that.
Also it was missing some sort of challenge, besides the time limit.
