This is a 10/10 game for me, this is one of the only jam entries that has an actually fresh mechanical idea, making me have to stop and look around the room to figure out where i should be drillin'.  Wonderful protagonist, love his six sphere hands and the way they drag after his body. (ill join the other comments all banging on the door chanting 'release the non inverted build!!') you calmly stating 'thats wheat through a mill' has been stuck in my head for weeks now. Fab entry - i love to see it!! Hope you enjoyed the jam ✨

The inverted controls are a little tough to get used to, but they do make trying to drill holes and set up furniture hilariously disorienting. I just want this lil’ drillbug to have a nice home, but I put way too many holes in the wall!

Why inverted mouse controls??? Otherwise, so much to love here! Intro was amazing, premise is ridiculous, gameplay was creative and rewarding! One of my favourite entries so far! Great work!

The intro was very funny but the inverted mouse controls made me want to commit an act of obscene violence. 10/10

The ending was also very funny, only mentioning it so you know I finished the game.

I like how you can knock over all the photographs, a very satisfying reward for climbing up to the top shelves. The theme music at the beginning also slaps.

Amazing  intro theme. I really liked the shelf mechanic, and enjoyed having to figure out how to get to the ceiling lights. Mouse Controls aside, great entry

Music, puzzles, and platforming: really fun! This little game is genuinely charming. I’ll admit, at times it felt like being in a fever dream because of how strange it is (in a good way!).

But please, don’t ever use inverted controls again! especially if they can’t be changed!! It definitely added to that “fever dream” feeling, though (lol)

I’d also recommend adding a web version. A lot of people don’t download games during jams, which is a shame.

Keep it up! And after the jam, I’d really suggest fixing the controls, or at least adding an option to remap them!

FIRE theme song: ✅
Creative puzzle platforming: ✅
Questionable interior design: ✅
Inverted camera controls that can't be changed and make my brain want to MELT: ✅

What a fantasy, this should be an animated series, the concept is fantastic! I loved the art and the music, such a great track. I’ll say it again: I want a series :D

Love the premise! Having to put up shelves to get to get to places you'd never be able to reach otherwise is a really fun concept and I had a lot of fun x)
However I only wish the mouse direction wasn't inverted (or that it had an option to disable it) because it did make the experience unnecessarily painful (psychologically lol)... :( 
Otherwise it's a great game and I'd 100% love to play more of it!!

Wish there was a web build so people can experience the drill song lol.

Not sure if it's intended but the mouse controls were inverted which was kinda hard to control (and I did go flying through the floor at one point).

Like the concept and art overall, good stuff!

Hahahaha thank you! I did try make a web build but it was an hour before submission and it was just not working and I didn't want to stress figuring that out.


The mouse controls being inverted was not intended hahaha oops 👀 


Thank you for playing!!
