Save the Pikakiri!

Wow, this looks really great!

I haven't tried the demo yet but from the videos alone, I only have one suggestion:
Could you make the sound effect from shooting the ground less loud and/or annoying?

I was just sitting here trying to watch this relaxing game and listen to this relaxing music but suddenly you started digging through the ground and then it's like ddddddddddddddddddddddddddkspkjopekjpgfdsgstjrkoptfugfdsgsyopgfdsgsseaw (loud sound effects) and you can't hear the music or anything very well and it sort of detracts from the experience.
