The Little Boring Drill by deathray

Drill down. Keep drilling into the planet, collect ore, refine it to bars, print parts out of the various metals, and build more components onto your boring little drill.
Tips:
- Tap a component to show or hide info about it.
- Confused about what's happening? Keep the info windows open for your components so you can watch them collect items, or slowly get built.
- Make sure to turn your drills on.
- Cargo containers don't work properly in the Jam version, but have been fixed in the post-compo version so try that version out if you're interested.
- Power doesn't work, so you can ignore that.

Did some upgrades and had some fun!
I must say that i feel like progress is a tiny bit slow to make. Absolutely amazing game though!
A neat somewhat chaotic entry :D

A simple tutorial for the first upgrade (even just a text box the first time you hit 10 copper or something) would really help new players here.
I think a backing track and some drilling/upgrade sounds would have made a lot of difference here, too. I highly recommend the work of Eric Matyas (www.soundimage.org); he's got some great looping tracks available for free, and I find them really useful (often as last-minute additions) for my jam games.
