Very simple but nicely executed, I do wish there was music

Played on stream here. Enjoyed the smoothness of the raw graphics, wish it had sound! Feel ya on the 36h stretch to get a new game done, went through the same thing.

Thanks for sharing! I like seeing how people play my games, lets me know what I should add!

I think you might have enjoyed it more if you had found pressing the SPACE button to dig faster at the cost of less sideways movement, but that's my bad for only explaining it in the page description! Seeing you miss it has definitely taught me I should at least put some simple in-game controls in next time.

Totes missed it! I usually look at the description of the page, but when streaming I get lost in the chit chat and switching of tabs :)

Not bad, the graphics and gameplay are pretty simple, I like how the drill bounces when it hits walls.
