Drill18: The Mars Project
=========================
You'll really dig this game!
Goal: Run a profitable mining operation and dig your way to Mars' diamond core (this is a real thing, right?)
Controls: Arrows/WASD to move the screen, mouse to dig tiles, place rooms.
Features:
- "Infinite" map size (though lack of optimization limits things in practice)
- AI workers with needs that must be met, or you face complaints from the powerful Union of Martian Miners
- 7 different types of buildable rooms
- 4 different careers: Builders (who dig and repair rooms), Drillers (who extract ore), Refiners (who improve your ore-to-money exchange rate), and Scientists (who increase the work & movement speed of all workers)
- 3 difficulty options (although the game is balanced to be pretty easy, to facilitate reviewing for Ludum Dare)
- Cat-based sound effects
- Really awesome big-number rollovers if you opt to continue playing well past winning.
========================
Created with: Unity 3d, Photoshop, Audacity, and abundant-music.com.

Big huge thanks to the thousands of people who came to watch my livestream, and an extra special thanks to all of my subscribers who help to support the channel. I'm sorry I turned you into workers in my hellish mine.
