Thanks for looking out @jk5000. Its published now

I couldn't find the entrance to the cave but I had a lot of fun jetpacking around the place!

Nice & simple game. Would love to have better graphics & some sounds. The jetpack felt a little too slow for me. The drill doesn't work on the tiles right where you spawn which feels a little confusing (I thought it is a bug at first). Managed to find all 7 miners, but it would probably be more fun to have some clues or hints on where they are. Anyways, nice job!

I like that you have a super drill and don't have to dig every tile individually.

Super fun to fly around and shoot drills :D

interesting control scheme, found it difficult to move and shoot at the same time. even with the minor strain on my hands i managed to hunt down all the miners

yes very good gam it is fun to throw drills

I really like the concept! I found drilling through the terrain very satisfying! One thing I noticed was that the pixel art was really blurry on some sprites. An easy fix is to change the sprites filter mode to Point.

Interesting idea. The drills are quite satisfying to fire. I found all he miners.
Not a great choice of controls though. G is an awkward key to use. A mouse button would have been better since you use the mouse anyway to aim.
Also the tiles you start at being undrillable felt like the game was bugged.

I liked the physics a lot, and that includes the "throwing the drill" mechanic. Not much else to say on this entry though - for a limited amount of time a very solid job.

I found 4/7 miners and then just had absolutely no idea where the rest of them were. Some kind of indicator would have been helpful. Lifting off the ground didn't feel good - I would have liked more acceleration or some kind of initial boost.

I found the movement of the game to be pretty fun! It was a bit tough to find all the miners but overall that game was pretty fun!

The drill was fun to use. Ended up finding 6 miners.

The controls felt a little awkward. Since you aim with the mouse, firing the drill with a mouse button would've made more sense to me, and G is a little uncomfortable to reach from WASD. Flight probably could've been mapped to W/Up too.

I agree that the jetpack's acceleration was a little too slow - especially if you started falling and then used it. Faster acceleration, with extra upwards acceleration applied if you're already falling, would make it more fun to fly around.

Good job. To get 20 rates, rate more games

Sorry you got hit hard by the vax, but... congrats on the vax! Also on the game! I rescued them all, which means it's more winable than my game lol. I agree with the general consensus that the accelleration on the jetpack was a little low and some direction indicators for the miners would have helped a lot.
