It seems that I only have 4 mini drills and if I defense my mega drill from the pink colored mini drills, I lose a mini drill. If I have a shield I am safe, but shields are not guaranteed. There doesn't seem to be a way to spawn new mini drills and the game just ends after four lives. The times I played, progress seems very tied to luck with getting powerups at the right times instead of skill of attacking the rock throwing robots.

That's pretty much it. Unless you want a story or something. Alright, heres a story. We originally planned for you to plant a bomb and blow up the earth, but because of time constraints we had to scrap that. We're serious, we finished with like 10 minutes left. Our programmer really needs to stop being lazy.\r\n\r\nHow to run:\r\n1) Open folder,\r\n2) double click the only executable in the folder.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nLeft mouse, W, Up, or Space to move and navigate menus.\r\nNo idea why you let go of the forward button.\r\nThe drill moves towards the mouse.\r\n\r\nTips:\r\n-Attack enemy drills from behind, they turn slower.\r\n-Golems will throw rocks at you if you are close, try and draw their attention towards the walls.\r\n-When the minidrill respawns, you have temporary invincibility. Try to clear out as many enemies as possible in those 2 seconds.\r\n\r\nCreated by Pixel^3:\r\n-Jellonator(Programming)\r\n-AlucardX60(Art)\r\n-MKSTAR26(Music)\r\n\r\nAlso make sure to collect powerups, most of them usually help.\r\nif you encounter any bugs or crashes, tell me and I'll throw a bunch of bananas at it and hope it fixes something.\r\n\r\nNote for Linux users: it works fine for me, but I'm not sure if I included the right stuff in the folder or not. Please tell me if it works.\r\n\r\nNote for Mac users or users who wish to build from source: currently there is no Mac version, so if you could make that for me, that would be great. All of the source files are in \/game and \/src, while all of the include files are in \/game and \/include. All of the resources\/assets are in \/resources. The required libraries are SDL2, SDL2_image, and SDL2_mixer.\r\n\r\nOur artist, AlucardX60, made a pixel art timelapse. May contain spoilers, but eh, it's a 72 hour game what spoilers: http:\/\/youtu.be\/-y0B1b1dzFI\r\n(darn you links for not working)","title":"Super Drill Defense+TM"}
