Cool concept, hard tought, specially the shooting part... too bad it didn't work fullscreen (some of the text was out of the window as well). Good job!

Decent concept. I had like -2000 points, though, so I'm clearly not very good at it :p
Nice idea :)
Quite well done. I enjoyed the tunnels and the fact that you could launch yourself out of the sand..
Gameplay wise there are some balancing issue. Also the text placement could some work.
Seems to have too many controls, why should i just
Cool idea. A few noticeable bugs/issues but very fun if you ignore those. Biggest complaint is that it doesn't seem like you can shoot when you're in the air if you started holding right click while underground; makes it feel unresponsive. The tunneling/shooting mechanics feel really good overall though - definitely the best part!
Oh, also - totally love the 'angry shooting face'.
Excellent game mechanics. Flowing swiftly into the earth to grab gems, then jumping into the air, deploying guns and blazing some dudes, before diving again in the depth. Feels good, and is quite original. The graphics are of the MS-Paint style, but it's LD48, and anyway they do the job.
I kinda wish we didn't have to use the two mouse buttons to fire, especially since it won't work if right key is held before breaking the surface. Also, maybe some animation when we die? My TunnelGunner just stops moving after a while, and I can only guess that it's due to a lack of health.
Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah I totally agree with you on the mouse buttons to fire business. Having to wait till you're overground to press right mouse button is a total bummer and is a bug.
I'm glad you like it though, and really appreciate the feedback. I'll definitely revisit it and try fix it up after the competition
It took a little while to get used to but I did enjoy it. A nice effort for an original idea. Good job! You should pursue.
This is a nice take on these kind of game with the base. I really like it.
Just the gameplay of launching yourself out of the ground and shooting at things was fun by itself.
Nice game. I enjoyed crushing and shooting at those little gem-thiefs :)
I liked the shooting/collecting combination, good work!
The controls were a bit confusing at first, but after a while I understood them. I'm not sure why there's a button for aiming when there's also a button for shooting. Next to that I really liked the concept!
The mechanics are great, it feels really fun to be this insanely overpowered tunnelling gigabot with a machine gun.
It's a little hard to score points, and for some reason the game doesn't end when I die though...
