I was thinking about the game more this morning and believe it can be a lot simpler and more fun :) I wrote down some notes on a kindle and drew a little picture :)

hmmm okay i like the direction where this is going! so, you think that the game should have random generation each time the game starts, and the moles must start lower underground with the goal of reaching the surface.

this is definitely a simpler way of making the game, turning it into a puzzle game instead of a construction and management game. I think a way to make it even simpler is instead of randomly generated worlds that we could make it like other puzzle games, with set number of levels and the player is able to unlock levels by beating them one by one.

one other thing i want to note is that we may not want to increase the mole's movement speed as the water level increases in the lower levels where they are. it could fall under the 'kicking players while they're down' problem that can happen with a mechanic like that. it may be better once the water level is high enough in a room for the moles to disappear in the water (drowning but not nearly as morbid hopefully)

oh hai, i see you added some sprites! for some reason they're saying they're "corrupted from ascii conversion" on my computer and they won't load on github :( maybe you could email them to me and I could get them that way? i'm at chapman.shoop@gmail.com if that works.
