As the Drill Knight, you must punish those who would use their drills for evil! Survive an oncoming swarm of drill skeletons in this physics-based top fighting game. The difficulty ramps up as you grow closer to your goal!
This was my first time doing a Ludum Dare, and the first time developing a game on my own. Hope you enjoy!
Gameplay tips: -Hit stunned enemies into other enemies to clear multiple at once -Position yourself between enemies to prevent yourself being knocked out
If you're playing in the embedded webplayer, there is a toggle fullscreen button directly below it.
Note: No html5 version for now, simply because it's way too laggy to enjoy at all
Patched 4/21/15: -Fixed an issue with AI stunning each other if they spawned too close -Fixed an issue with AI getting perma-broke if smacked by player on the way down -Fixed an issue with AI spawning past the 100 mark
Music drove me CRAZY. The midi instrumentation is kind of wild, erratic and just not composed well, which is a shame, because the art style, presentation and general simple to pick up but fun to do gameplay was really sweet. Definitely enjoyed my time on it, the art is really something else, good stuff all around~
Nifty! Don't see many spinning top type games. Love the visuals too. The physics seem a bit crazy fast when getting launched, found it difficult to recover if I made a mistake :p
Pretty hard game. My best after a dozen or so plays was 10 enemies defeated. The stun is good but doesn't last long enough if there is more than one enemy on the screen for me to get much further. Despite this I had a really good time playing it. A two player mode would be awesome.
very nice entry! It reminds me of a game from mario party, but there wasn't the head jump thing in it I think. Thank you for reminding me of these good old memories.
Being huge Beyblade fan as a kid back in the day, I can say your game brought back really great memories! Would be cool to have changing environments and traps and stuff added in the future!
fun, reminds me a lot of those mario party/fusion frenzy mini games where you have to knock people out. wish the rate the enemies knock you back ramped up as time went on, making the beginning a little easier to get the hang of.
Really interesting concept which seems to me too hard, but I need to increase my skill. There is a good potential for this entry. It's your first entry here? Whoaa! Impressive. Thumbs up ++
I dig (hehe) the overall style and it feels solid. I found it pretty difficult to start with, but I was able to knock enough off over time to feel a bit better about myself :)
It's hard to tell how far I will knock somebody or be knocked on collision, as sometimes you don't move at all and other times you are knocked a full screen away..
Good retro style graphics. Good concept, but the physic sometimes behave strangely, what prevents to play too long, sorry. Nice first entry indeed, go on : )

I really like it
Lovely graphics, music and sound effects are a little underwhelming to be honest.
All in all I like it :)
My best score was 28. Still a long way to go :P.
Very impressive and the detail on the avatars are amazing.
Nice first entry indeed, go on : )
