I like the pixel style and though the texts are a little bit long to read they are quite funny.\rI noticed some bugs: \rthe gold will be stored if the player's x position is at the right side of the map. y position is not changed so you can store your gold under the earth.\r\rI also do have qwerty (qwertz as for the german layout) but i had to press the q-key. \r\rGravity also feels a little bit strong and junping is not possible as accurate as i would have liked it.\r\rBut it is a great Game!"},{"author_name":"caranha","author_uid":"7847","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 4:37pm","epoch":1398702720,"text":"Very interesting idea. The game is still a bit rough, but it has a lot of potential. People have already commented on the q-a issue. Well, I didnt manage to complete the first level. I got 1000 gold, but nothing happened.\r\rHaving somewhat more expanded instructions in the beginning would have been nice.\r\rThanks for the game, and congratulations on completing your first ludum dare!"},{"author_name":"awanegenebayo","author_uid":"36521","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:26pm","epoch":1398705660,"text":"caranah : Thank you! When you have enough gold, you have to wait until sunset (before the night is completely here outside) and go see the man. If you are early, nothing will happend (you are supposed to bring AT LEAST the amount and work until sunset) and if you are late, well, the man won't like it ;)"},{"author_name":"Gaspard_","author_uid":"25208","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 2:17pm","epoch":1398780720,"text":"I managed the first and second level, I like the mining strategy!\rLittle minus though: once you got that strategy, it's plain grinding."},{"author_name":"eowindil","author_uid":"35732","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 5:19pm","epoch":1398878040,"text":"Got stuck until I found the good strategy.
