we saved the world!! okay, I cheated and pressed P to skip to the ending :) Found it a bit tedious to play, not a lot happens except the engine overheating if you aren't careful. Feels like a great start of a game.

Was a bit too long with very few variations in gameplay, so I ended up cheating as well, hehe :)
Good job judging by the time frame!
We saved the world!
It needs more of a point than just digging down.
Maybe I missed something but if you just press down the drill goes down and you win eventually :o
It has potential though, I can see the heating mechanic explored for more fun :)
Really liked the sounds and music, graphics are nice, just needs more fun/ playability
I'm sorry, I don't get the point of the game :/ the graphics and the premise showed promise, but there was no variance on the way down, there's no point to drill anywhere but down, then I couldn't even get through the granite/white rocks bit at all.
The P button didn't "skip", it just showed you something you can't get to otherwise :/
"The white marble and semi-molten rock can only be destroyed using the laser." And "P" teleports you next to the goal.
And yeah, I understood that the game lacks variety, but I didn't really know how to generate random maps. But I do plan to explore how to that, so I'll know how for the next LD.
Would benefit a lot from some randomizing of the ores/material
FYI, it seems like Chrome can only play the game once. I used P to fast-forward to the end and couldn't try again. From what I did play, it was an alright game. My biggest compliment is I did find the ending rather funny, so I can actually give humor a rating for once.
That little drill is really cute! :D "Cool" game!
Decent, I couldn't figure out how to not blow up, even by going very slowly though.
Solid drilling :)
However, more variety could be added to make it more challenging I guess :)
Yep shows a great potentials, graphics are cool :)
Would be better with more variations and some upgrades for the driller. Nice work.
its an alright start, could be cool if there was more time to work on it but its just nothing right now. also ive seen the exact same game on some flash game sites and probably in this LD
Good work.
Haha, the ending. (I cheated) It seems like an ok game, although it was pretty repetitive.
It could work as a straight down digger, like a Canabalt where you manage your heat instead. The tiles should be randomly chosen, but weighted by depth. That would force you to pay attention to your heat management more.
