Had a very busy weekend, but managed to make a small game. It follows all single compo rules except for time :) Everything was made alone from scratch using Unity3D.

* Simply start the game and click anywhere below the drill to change bearing.
* When not drilling through material (darker = longer time to drill), it will change max 60 degree bearing for each click.
* The level ends when the durability of the drill bit goes to 0 %.
* To get to the next level, you must earn at least $100 per level number (e.g. $300 for level 3).
* The levels are "infinite" with increasing speed and "density".

PLEASE POST LEVELS AND HIGHSCORES IF YOU PLAY IT

There are some small issues with the bearing when clicking extreme angles, and the Web Player have a harder time adjusting "straight" bearings :/ It is not a showstopper so it should be playable...

Also, you might need to press keys 2 times when starting the games :P

It got a little repetitive feeling around level 5, might help to make the increase in difficulty more extreme. Levels 1-5 I was able to make $1500-$2000 each with ease. It's super hard (impossible?) to return the drill to a straight direction once you turn.

With some polish and audio this could be a cool little game, good work :)

I like this idea a lot. It's got this kind of quick diving to get to diamonds vs going slow to get points strategy.

The basic concept is ok, I feel like its a bit easy. Adding some more gameplay elements would be cool too. Otherwise its not bad!

The fact that you can only turn 60 degrees at a time can easily by countered by clicking more times. The difficulty increase way to slowly. Stopped at level 4 after suiciding in all previous levels.

Nat anything to complain about. Getting around 1200-1500 every level, but it's a bit repetitive.

Really liked the idea, I just wished I had something to spend my money on, and maybe some more variety between levels/depths.

Great game! You should add an option to upgrade/speed up the drill though. Maybe by using the money earned by drilling?

Neat little game, but you can get an infinitely high score. Just drill into the sky! :D

It is a little on the easy side, but not bad at all.

Nice game, but a little too slow. The first levels should be much shorter. Stopped at level 5 because the challenge was missing.

Simple mechanics and clear objective, cool game. It's missing some music!! Also some hazards, you can't just lie on the durability of the driller.

Hmm I can't seem to play the game. It says press any key to start, but I hit lots of different keys, clicked everywhere, but nothing starts the game.
