It was really interesting and fun discovering the world, but there is some room for improvement:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>-Working with the drill and the radx is quite cumbersome, I feel like it should just use up a battery from the inventory, rather than having to refill it after every use.\r<br\/>-The radiated snow is hardly distinguishable from the normal snow, which got me killed a lot of times until I realized that there are those two snow types.\r<br\/>-I feel like the old man shouldn't give you a key to a door you can dig around, but rather give you the drill, so that you can't reach the end without helping the old man.\r<br\/>-Why do bugs always damage you when you kill them? Seems a bit unintuitive and restricts you to only killing two bugs. (Except if there is a way to heal yourself, which I didn't find)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall I really liked it, and would definitely play a more polished version.
