MEGADRILL by Corny
Dig out as much gold as you can!
You control the MEGADRILL in a quest to dig out as much gold as possible!
Remember to watch out for your supplies - you need fuel to go deeper and metal to craft bombs. Why bombs? Well, in the off-case your drill runs out of fuel you're gonna need to replenish it by hand, and what better way to dig for fuel?
You get 5 free bombs whenever you enter a new mining area. After you've expended those, each new bomb will cost 2 metal, so keep that in mind while throwing them around!
While digging watch out for falling rocks and irradiated blocks - they can kill you!
When you have enough ores, just throw them into the Recycler and take a seat in the pilot seat - it's time to go!
CONTROLS:
In Drill Mode: - Left, Right - Turn the Drill - Up - Slow down - Down - Speed up - E - Brake and go to Miner mode
In Miner Mode: - Left, Right - Run - Space - Jump - S - Throw bombs and ores, detonate bombs - E - Pick up ores, interact - Q - Swap selected inventory slot - ESC - End your run - use only if you're stuck in a cave with no way to get out!
NOTES:
Boy did I not make it in time. Sometime later I'll try to whip up an HTML5 port and fix the couple bugs that slipped through. The on-time version will always be available to download!
Check itch.io devlog to see what's been fixed in the post-compo version!

well... =)
- The red bomb (?) item seems to go down in quantity when I throw it, but even after it reaches 0, I can still throw bombs in most areas. However, this seems to stop working randomly.
- I always have 5 bombs inside the drill, but they get reset to 0 when I walk out.
- Metal doesn't give you any bombs when you recycle it. I see that the gray bar goes up when I do this, but I don't know what the purpose of that bar is supposed to be.
Ah yeah I should've written that down in the description
The number next to the bombs is the amount of FREE bombs - you get 5 of those those whenever you enter a new mining area. Extra bombs cost 2 metal each. You can't have more than 100 metal, thus the bar.
As for the 5 bombs inside the drill - noted, I'll make it less confusing
