This Is Not A Drill!

Congratulations on your first Dare! The hand drawn graphics are nice, though they could have used some simple animation to make it look like more of an artstyle than a practical choice.

Unfortunately, I just wasn't able to find the enemies. Even after 4 minutes on my second playthrough, nothing had spawned, and the drill just reached it's destination regardless. Hopefully you'll be able to fix that without too much trouble though!

@rockhoppergames Whoops! I disabled the spawners while testing and forgot to re-enable them before building.🤦 I've added a new version with them re-enabled.

There are a couple small animations related to the enemies, but of course they won't play if they never spawn. You're right that I could have added more; even just some twinkling stars would probably have helped a lot.

Fun graphics, and surprisingly fun gameplay for such a simple game. I found that maxing out the drill in-between cars was an effective strategy. I also couldn't figure out what the Support thing does. Good job!

I would recommend adding some screenshots and a cover image, that should help to get more people to actually play your game. Usually games that don't have those tend to be mostly unfinished as well, so I ended up pleasantly surprised that was not the case here. However, others might just skip it because of that.

Next time, don't forget to use Git ;-), you would have been able to revert your changes or at least see the changes you did since the last time it worked.

I love your graphic style, it is awesome! :) The idea seems very nice, it is interesting to manage multiple resources to reach the goal. I wish you had more time to make it a bit more difficult, but other than that I like it!

Not bad. The slider system is interesting. Oddly reminds me of the taxation mechanic in older civilization games. The sounds were a bit hard on the ears though.

While it is interesting and innovative, it was very easy to win. Maybe, should change constants a little, it would be more fun to play

I like the core gameplay behind the idea. The art is quite original! 😄 As others have pointed out it is quite easy to beat. I'm pretty sure if you re-balance the game it would be more fun to play. In any case I had a good time with it
