Left-click worked to shoot the gun, but drilling didn't work :*(

Interesting game: the addictive part of the experience works well. But it will be better if the ressources you collected could be used to buy upgrades or companions to farm more.

You also need to push the player to fight against monsters, because it's to easy to drill all over the level without fighting a monster.

The music is very cool: when it changes, you shoud add more feedback with the air gauge. It will help the player to make the link between those 2 elements.

Very nice game, unfortunately drilling works only sometimes

@petey123567, @OniiRam Yeah, I've had small problem with Unity colliders. Sometimes you need to swing mouse around a bit to get it working.

@Nizar89 That was original idea. Unfortunately I had to ditch many mechanics, because I was time was running out. :(

Good idea.. a little confuse in the beggining, but i liked it in all aspects

Oddly, once I entered the next level, the framerate dropped to the point where it was immediately unplayable.

Not a bad game, once I figured out you need to stand away from the wall to drill.

It would be good to increase the time it takes to drill a rock, otherwise you can switch the drill on and calve out a path while running.

I like the idea of drilling your way through rock, but the controls and gameplay can be improved. Keep working on this as I think it can become really fun!

As my layout is AZERTY I'm going to have to complain that you can't rebind the Q/E keys from weapon changing. Otherwise runs great on my Arch Linux with no configuration required (praise be to Unity :P )

My Linux is playing up though so I tried on a Windows machine too both the build and the webplayer. On both it was very slow and I could move through walls. So essentially I wasn't able to play this :'(

Music is great and I love this kind of roguelike type game :)

Got it working :) Yeah my laptop has stupid power-saving settings that keeping coming on all the time. Drill is very fickle, doesn't seem to work all the time, I can't quite figure out when/why. Love the music and the general "ambiance" of the game, I feel a couple more hours would have made a huge different but that's the Ludum Dare for you. Even so good job guys, despite the drill I managed the grab myself a bunch of look, kill a bunch of monster dudes and escape :P
