Drill A Drill by Nyyman

[raw]
made by Nyyman for LD29 (JAM)
Drill A Drill is a fun arcade endless digging game, where you have to get as deep as you can, controlling the direction where you dig into. However, a lot of hard minerals show up and your drill won't endure drilling through many of them. Avoid the unwanted minerals and dig only through valuable ones to repair your drill and use useful boosts. Upgrade your drill between runs by getting a high score!

The Windows build linked is a zip file. Due to GameMaker, most browsers probably say the file is a virus. Don't worry though, it obviously isn't! We didn't want to build an installer because it takes more time for the user, but the .exe is recognized as a virus for some reason.

This is and interesting game and the audio is funny. I dont get the point and the fixing of the drill is an exploit but fun all the same

I dig the vocal sound effects. I didn't seem to be able to upgrade my defense, and somehow on my second run I ended up with negative science. Cool game, though.

The defense upgrade bug was discovered too late, we'll fix it when we have the time. And we thought that we already fixed the negative science bug, but thanks for mentioning it, we'll likely fix it today or tomorrow.

Really loved the audio in this nice simple game. Didn't fully appreciate you're not collecting the money, just using it to gain depth, but that's a nice mechanic too.

Loved the sound. Thought this was well done. I liked how the drill wore down as you went so you had to collect money and had to repair. Nice tuning.
