About button mashing, it's true to a point. Since the timings are all fixed, getting the right interval between traps is the key. Some random variation to the enemy flow would fix this problem.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>After receiving so much positive feedback I'm believe it's a good idea to keep working on this game in the future, introducing different levels, different traps and especially different miners.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My goal was to provide a couple of minutes of fun to the players, and I hope I achieved that.
