Through The Crust

The reversed controls are a fun challenge. I thought he sound design was done really well. It would be nice if there was more of a ramp to the difficulty. Fun to play!

Fun game although very challenging.

@liammasters the reverse controls were actually the original controls... yeah I messed that up.

Verrry challenging! Thank god for the invert turning button :)))
Love it, it's really responsive.

Very challenging and fun, I liked the mechanics and the style of the game.

Whelp I had to play it like 100 times :D Definitely has that difficulty level, but at the right amount where you get the feeling "I know I can do better". I was surprised how much the controls through me off, cause I think they fit the "tank tread" type driving. Thanks!

this is real fun, simple concept but executed super well, the slow down mechanic feels really good too

Loved the reversed controls button from a usability perspective (I preferred the inverted controls). Great job offering unique abilities to change movement specific to this game style. However, the UI is hard to read with dark on dark, so it becomes harder to count on the abilities if you don't know how much boost you have (maybe put fuel meter on the drill so players don't have to move their eyes). Charming art gets the ideas across with good signifiers for each item's affordances.

UI needs some editing bro.The Black isn't visible.Yet 10/10 Gameplay, astonishing that you were able to complete this.
Overall = 9/10 from me.
Hope you can work on this and make it better

Honestly, I dig it. The controls are very simplistic, but they're more fluid than you'd expect. Nice work on the graphics and sound, they fit the gameplay very well.

This game is really fun! It's challenging and I love the concept. I'm not that good at the game but what I was able to experience was amazing! I noticed there was some text in the top left of the screen, but I couldn't really read it too easily, maybe make it white instead of black?

I didn't realize you could slow down until after I started rating it, good thing I went back because since its a lot more fun when you know what you're doing.

This is weirdly addicting, idk how my times I ran into a boulder before stopping to write a review. The artwork is cute and you're the best for adding an "invert controls" options, I desperately needed that.

Difficult, but fairly so, and enjoyable as well. I like the angular motion, it suits the drill more than side to side movements would. Well made!

Pretty fun!

I like the sound design and core gameplay loop. The drill feels good to control, which is great.

For a game this tough, it would be nice if the "Continue?" option dropped us right back into the game instead of going back to the main menu. If I'm dying over and over, it'd be preferable to start over faster.

All in all good job!

Difficult, but also fun and addicting. Turned on inverted controls and suddenly I started getting deeper. :P

Simple, yet addicting. Executed pretty well - nice :)

Nice job! The game is really fun to play. I really like the controls.

Unforgiving but makes you want to play it again and get better ! As said above I think it would have been nice to gradually increase the difficulty as you go down, but of course it's probably hard to manage while avoiding creating "dead ends".

Overall it's great ! Simple and fun, exactly what we're looking for !

Really hard, but pretty good. In games like this you can normally turn fully around so that took some getting used to. The trail behind was a nice graphical touch. Minor thing, but my small exhausted brain didn't recognise the 'PLAY' button as a button, thought I had to download it :P

Nice game but quite hard, I didn't really use boost because drill is going so fast.

Overall nice, very hard and the controls kept messing with me brain!

@fdk I mean, it does speed you up as you keep on going

@sweer oh ok! I think I was not good enough to really notice ahah, well done then, you got everything covered :)

Well done, simple yet fun =D

Surprisingly hard, but a lot of fun! Great job :)

Sorry too hard for me. Even when slowing down it sometimes speeds up to fast to get anywere. Reverse controls didn't help as wel. But I dig the art.

Really addictive. Easy to learn but hard to master. :smiley_cat:

The reverse controls were a lifesaver! Made the game so much easier, I'm glad you added that. Overall I enjoyed it a lot, though I think some more "juice" with screenshake and some particles would put this to another level. Great job!

Looks really good but it gets tough quick when the rocks start clumping together.
I think you could add an option to reverse the boost/slow down controls. When I pressed "S", I kept expecting it to go down faster.
Besides that, it was very fun to play :smiley:

@jafcraze Hmm, I put in reverse turning because I thought it would help more people, I guess I didn't realize boost/slow down reverse would also be useful

Simple concept but terribly challenging I love that!

Fun game. but the drill gets too fast for me to handle after a while.

Challenging game, I like that there are 2 different highscores you can go for.

I think a nice addition would be to zoom out the camera when you accelerate, otherwise it's too hard to react on time.

Keep it up!
