It seems like you had a great idea from the start and you stuck to it, so I applaud you for that.  The game itself is a little easy, at 20,000m down I still had no problem.

I like having the restriction on how far you can turn like that so it becomes hard to avoid all rocks and the carrots were fun.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>However, I think the game was a little too easy for much to long. I killed myself 7000m down because difficulty was increasing too slowly for it to feel challenging.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think you forgot to put the nice music on repeat by the way, because about 5-6000m down it stopped.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If the drill could take damage it was very little happening to the meter. Drilling through the rocks I only heated up.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>So to sum up.

We are DREAM SHOW ADVENTURES and we made Chacket Valleyparker: DRILL BUNNY for this Ludum Dare. Chacket knows nothing but drillin'. That's all he cares about. You are Chacket. Don't let your drill overheat!\r\n\r\nDirections:\r\n\r\nSpace to start. Use left and right arrows to move Chacket. Press Space to boost, as long as you have boost available. Grab carrots for an awesome powerup! Grab gems to amass wealth. Rocks and lava will slow you down and make your drill overheat. Avoid them!\r\n\r\nAbout:\r\n\r\nThe engine is Phaser, and the game is written entirely in JavaScript and playable in-browser. All code was by Steve Richey (aka STVR), all art was by Andrew Agulto (aka Ninspriterx) except for the apples which Steve's kids drew. Sound was done with BFXR. Our music guy dropped out so we used some of Andrew's old (great) unused music.\r\n\r\nWe'd really love to add more to this sometime. Let us know what you liked or did not like! Or if you have ideas\/requests\/bugs!\r\n\r\nKnown issues:\r\n\r\n- Fonts may not load correctly for everyone.\r\n- Sounds may not load in Internet Explorer.\r\n\r\nPost-jam changes:\r\n\r\n- Made a small change to fix font loading issues.\r\n- Made some changes to the way sounds and images are loaded to reduce load times and fix sounds for IE and Safari.\r\n- Added mobile support. Try it on your phone!\r\n\r\nSome things we didn't get to:\r\n\r\n- Upgrade store\r\n- Worms\r\n- Moles\r\n\r\nOkay, thanks for playing!\r\n\r\nCredits:\r\n\r\nCode: Steve Richey aka STVR (www.steverichey.com)\r\nArt: Andrew Agulto aka Ninspriterx (http:\/\/ninspriterx.tumblr.com\/)\r\n\r\nCheck us out at www.dreamshowadventures.com!","title":"Chacket Valleyparker: DRILL BUNNY"}
