Got the evil wizard to pop. Do have to say that the game-loop changed drastically after i got to a third of the wizards hunger bar. I ended up having so many mined chips that for the remaining 2/3 of the hunger, i could just stay above and sit next to the machine.
I wanted to go back to mine, but most chips were too deep for it to be even viable (why would I if I knew I had enough to win).
Really liked the visuals and audio.
