The two twins, Deeper & Dipper, want to Drill until they find the centre of Earth.
They were told that there's dinosaurs over there, but will they reach the centre ?
The answer is no! because we go deeper and deeper... but don't tell them.

In this asymmetric 2 players games you should cooperate to harvest coal, fill the drill with it, and then go deeper.

To play you need to connect 2 distinct controllers (keyboard/gamepad or gamepad/gamepad) during the title screen and then press the "play" button.
Genres: platformer
Tools: Unity

Unfortunately couldn't really play because I was playing by myself and it seems to need two players. Had fun climbing on the house though, interesting idea!

Couldn't understand how to play so I was just pressing all controls that were mentioned on the tutorial screen. But I gotta say I really liked the artstyle! Simple yet very rememberable! Good job!

Local Multiplayer gameplays are always hard to rate when playing alone. I guess the game feel would be pretty good while with a friend rather than having to constantly switch between keyboard & gamepad.
The art style was nice, reminding me of good old-school flash games.

It was a bit disappointing not being able to place ladders on top of each other.
Also, having music or a bit of sound effects would have been nice.

Small bug : You can place ladders/bridges in the starting area and they would be hidden by the background sprites (house, baseground wall) or the ground.

No idea what was happening or what I was suppose to do, but it looks great.

I couldn't have a proper go because I didn't have a second controller/someone to play with. Nice attempt though, the graphics are beautiful and i appreciate the idea that you tried to make a 2player game

In the next Jam try giving audio some love, it usually adds a great depth to the game. Anyway, congratulations on your Jam entry!

Yeah cute visuals but local coop games are hard to rate alone :p

I really like the graphics, but me and my fiancee don't really understand, how to play this game. If I understand it correctly - respawn button doesn't work.

It was kinda hard to tell what to do. Couldn't dig the coal - I don't know why, could build only one bridge, not sure why. I really liked the coop idea and the graphics.

Unfortunately I don't understand how to play, but your entry looks good though.

I tried it but it was not clear to me. Maybe add the instructions on the side, or a small tutorial.
