The difficult ramp is perfect; each level feels like a unique challenge with a bespoke solution. You managed to milk a great deal of variety out of the mechanics. The theming goes a long way to make the rules more digestible; I'm presuming you were 'to hell with' the LD theme!\r\rThere were a few nuances to the rules that I thought could have been taught more clearly, for example the revelation that causing a collapse of one square will prevent your movement to the next tile (whereas multiple tiles will move and crush you). The red herring in the last level was especially devious, although it was a nice stumper to end on.\r\rThanks for the feedback on Avenging My Gran, great to get some criticism from the puzzlescript master. Train Braining made me miss my connecting flight last week :)"},{"author_name":"jmborden","author_uid":"42811","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 8:47pm","epoch":1429994520,"text":"A good tunnel IS hard to dig."},{"author_name":"phi6","author_uid":"29305","time":"Apr 27, 2015 @ 10:05pm","epoch":1430172000,"text":""So how hard could this be, just dig dow-OH SHIT"\r5\/5"},{"author_name":"ShawnFeatherly","author_uid":"22714","time":"May 1, 2015 @ 6:14am","epoch":1430460540,"text":"Awesome puzzle twist on that old game "Boulder Dash""},{"author_name":"mortus","author_uid":"20884","time":"May 4, 2015 @ 8:04am","epoch":1430726340,"text":"Just great! Probably the best game mechanics-wise I've played this LD! The gameplay is so unusual that at times I was thinking that it's even theoretically impossible to complete a level, only to complete it in the easiest way imaginable 2 minutes later, experience in other puzzles did not help me at all playing this game. And that says something. Great job!\r\rP.S. No 'Theme' rating? That's unusual. Kinda breaks the whole point of having a themed compo."},{"author_name":"Steven Colling","author_uid":"7211","time":"May 4, 2015 @ 12:46pm","epoch":1430743260,"text":"Played through all the levels and had a really fun time. I think you should note somewhere (or show it through play) that the player can jump 2 blocks high, because that wasn't clear for me and I got stuck in the first level a very long time.

It was one thing to collect all the gems but to bring them back to the entrance stumped me a few good times. The level design was also excellent. \r\rI'm not sure how it fits the theme of an unconventional weapon though, and the fact I can't vote on the theme kinda negates the whole point of the Ludum Dare."},{"author_name":"Timm638","author_uid":"46970","time":"May 4, 2015 @ 1:28pm","epoch":1430745780,"text":"Loving it!"},{"author_name":"KaiseanGames","author_uid":"44370","time":"May 4, 2015 @ 5:06pm","epoch":1430758860,"text":"I love puzzle games and this one is great."},{"author_name":"blubberquark","author_uid":"7968","time":"May 4, 2015 @ 6:30pm","epoch":1430763900,"text":"I don't see how this game fits the theme.
