I really enjoyed your game! I think though it was a bit tedious having to come to the surface for upgrades. But great game overall, well done!

Man, this was really cool! I liked how you handled the digging trail, and boy are those enemies tough! (I should've gotten more upgrades.) Very nice game!

Very nice. The controls are very intuitive, the handling mechanism seems reasonable. The difficulty is very balanced, and I like how the player can develop his own "style" of playing it.
I don't know if this kind of behaviour was intended, but I found it easy to just circle around the enemies holding down A or D, so they can't get you. It's actually kind of fun... :D
I think the graphics don't give a very strong feeling of "beneath the surface", at least in the top regions near the surface. The shaders and 3D-ness make it look more like the drill is kind of sliding on a flat surface.
But anyway, this is a very entertaining game, and I loved playing it!

Hi. Love the mechanics, aiming backwards guiding forwards, second black/red worm nightmare. Sounds fit well. Entertaining to play.
