I cannot either attack or drill (html version on itch)

The graphics and animations are amazing and super clean, I just unfortunately couldn't get the controls to work on the itch site. If there is a patch for that I'd love to re-rate the game!

Overall I like the little game, but the Drill attack seems to not function in the HTML version on Itch

Very tough. Think I got to 3. Drill seemed to be a method to escape only? Not kill?

@unkilledshadow135-alex Yeah, I can play now! The graphic is cool, well done! But really hard ;) Maybe smoother if there are fewer enemies at the very first?

Классная игра, в которую действительно можно поиграть любителям хард гейминга) Отличный арт и звуковое сопровождение. Единственное, хотелось бы чтобы была кнопка выхода из игры, но это не значит, что в нее не хочется играть)

It's very difficult not to get hit by bugs, and I'm dying with 1 hit (( But very cool art and music!

Great! Excellent design, nice graphics and sound. But the difficulty is high, I don't really play, and I die almost immediately. This is not a minus, I'm just an inexperienced user.

Очень классная игра, механики интересные, я единственное подыхаю без конца, но это придает азарта. Рисовка хорошо проработана, насекомые очень прикольно выглядят. Музыка тоже соответствующая, мне нравится!

Your art style is very appealing; I really like it, especially that knight!

Art is really clean and the base mechanic is there. The drill was cute but kinda useless. The attack range or the animation needs to be tweaked I believe. One life is very brutal :D I got to 11 and died.

Good game. Wish a little better UI (visible burrow skill cooldown for example) and faster way to restart level (without waiting the restart window to popup).

It's a very addictive game, but it's very difficult to get through the levels. I would like to see new abilities and enemies unlocked with each level. You can see that they put a lot of effort and soul into the game. 10 amogus out of 10!

I really liked the cartoonish graphics. Very well done, well done! Too bad there are no weapon upgrades or anything like that, but for 3 days the game is great! Well done) Respect for Art from JoBlow!

I loved the intro comic, and the art style is truly great. The jumping cutout in the stone wall was particularly funny.

I think the game needs a bit of a ramp in difficulty, though. The game is very hard with only one life, and having to dodge or hit so many projectiles so early can be a bit frustrating. If the player only had to face the cute hopping enemies for a little while, they could get more familiar with the controls, or get more invested in a good run.

Nice submission, thanks for sharing!

There were some bugs with the terrain on the level 2, when was using the drill. Overall amazing and fun game, the Arcade level gave me just 3 upgrades :), would be cool to see a progress bar when I will receive a new upgrade, as I was killing a lot of creatures but would not receive as slow was the other ones.
