Great game! The giant creature startled me at first! The door mechanic is great, and I love that it even has shops. Very cool!

Really excellent use of two-button controls.

Fun! I wish you had spent a bit more time on the menus, the drawn text looks a bit.. off. Otherwise, it's great! I loved the music.

Good fun. Controls feel like a good ol' classic arcade game.

The mix of door mechanics and digging is amazing.

Addictive gameplay. Reminded me of Downwell a little, but this one is more fun. :)

Really loved this one! When the screen shakes it was horrifying, flying through the lock passwords was satisfying, the music was catchy, and upgrading items with the shop appealed to my rogue-like fan-ness. Overall great game!

Whoa! It's cool game, definitely want to see this on mobiles. Nice solution with in-game metagames like ZXXZ-code entering. Quite disappointed with prices in the shop. Also, sometimes you get too far while going left/right, it's hard to precisely move.
Nonetheless, this game is DRILLTASTIC!

I got to 326. It would be nice if it saved your highscore, or had a way to continue, since just as the game gets interesting, it also gets too hard for me.

Neat idea and very stressful, though.

That was a lot of features implemented within 48 hours, well done! The graphics is simple yet effective, works perfectly with the music. I particularly like the music. Game play is solid, the progress and slowly introducing different mechanics is great. One of the best entries I've played.

This game's concept was excellent, with a little more time on the assets this is actually the kind of roguelike experience that would do well to be expanded.

I did stop drilling... to leave my comment and rating! No but seriously, good job on this game. If you have the time, I would suggest you try and polish it a little, but apart from that, great stuff!

A pretty fun game! Took a bit of getting used to, though, but I'm impressed you managed to include a shop!

Fun game. Excellent use of the two-button theme. Loved the doors.

This game is really cool! Very fun, and nice to control. A bit weird how you mention "Z+X" as well as "A+B" though

Nice entry! The concept is interesting and addictive! This game reminds me of guren lagann somehow because of the drill xD Good job ;)
