But it will be better if the ressources you collected could be used to buy upgrades or companions to farm more.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>You also need to push the player to fight against monsters, because it's to easy to drill all over the level without fighting a monster.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The music is very cool: when it changes, you shoud add more feedback with the air gauge. It will help the player to make the link between those 2 elements."},{"author_name":"OniiRam","author_uid":"22157","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 8:15am","epoch":1398931800,"text":"Very nice game, unfortunately drilling works only sometimes"},{"author_name":"Ret44","author_uid":"3126","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 9:41am","epoch":1398936960,"text":"@petey123567, @OniiRam Yeah, I've had small problem with Unity colliders.

So I tried to recover anything I could, and simplify almost all mechanics of core idea, all in the last day of Jam. It's still buggy and unbalanced, and I consider this more like prototype, than finished game. Still, I hope you'll enjoy this prototype. Don't forget post your score in the comments!\r\n\r\nBig thanks to @Spierek for title idea.\r\n\r\nYou are space war veteran, who lost his both hands during Siege of Zolxaron XVIII. After that you decided\r\nto find your luck in the vast desert of planet Joltz. This planet is famous of its riches, and enourmous caves.\r\nYou modified your brand new hovering hands - with your rusty Bolt Dealmaker and mining drill. Use your drill on walls to collect minerals. You have limited air supply, that will last for 2 minutes, so be quick. \r\nWatch out for toxic gas clouds, it will hurt you, and corrupt some of your air supply. Beware of blind cave monsters.\r\nThey will notice you if you use drill or gun nearby them. You can exit level anytime you want - just come back\r\n to the start, and press E. Every next level is bit harder - enemies will have more HP, and there will be more toxic\r\nclouds. Try to collect as many minerals as possible. \r\n","title":"DrillfisT"}
