D.R.I.L.L .inc

Simple, but catchy. I didn't got what actually SHIFT does, seems it doesn't work so far? Sound is good. Idea is interesting. Nice game!

Pretty good game, unique idea and fun to play!

Overall solid controlls. Idk if its a shader or something but trail detail is also very nice

Loved the premise and the atmosphere! I hope D.R.I.L.L gives me a promotion.

Fun game I can see this being expanded upon a lot. Great job :)

I didn't expect to see a jam game that was able to capture the core gameplay loop of this sort of game well, but you seem to have done it! Reminds me of Learn to Fly and similar things. Could use some more variety as you drill deeper (even if it's just fuel getting scarcer and scarcer).

I like the particle effects that leave the trail. Nice job on the game!

the drill sound adds a nice touch and the graphics are clean. Cool idea for a simple concept. The only problem I had was the spawnrate of the oil. Sometimes I ran out of fuel before even seeing a single barrel :(

Nice entry!

I really like the idea of the game and it has a lot of potential to upgrade the nice core-loop.
I would have loved to have the possibility to invert the controls, because it somehow felt off for me (but thats not part of my rating, cause thats a personal preference). Also the audio loop could have been a little bit longer, because you could hear the cut at the end of the loop.

I liked the different chunks of gems and and the different terrain, so your game kept me entertained!

Good job!

Nice core loop, but i feel you are entirely on mercy of a random if you will have an oil available before running out, especially before the couple upgrades.

Nice simple game with pleasant pixel art and vfx (light blinking adds atmosphere!) Game depends on random oil though, and its hard to change lane from one side of screen to other, but overall was fun,

Simple classic style of game. This might just be me, but personally I kept on trying to steer with left/right from the perspective of the vehicle, so I ended up often going the wrong way when I wasn't careful. I'm sure if I played longer I would have adjusted.

That was a simple yet really nice game! I agree with @adamg I also kept steering from the perspective of the vehicle so it was a bit frustrating when I missed an oil can because my brain did not function :(
Also regarding oil - I understand why it's here but I don't really liked it, it felt more like a way to make the game longer and require stops between attempts instead of a real mechanic e.g. there were some cases where an oil can did not spawn so even though I played well I still lost, which I think defeats the purpose of these type of rougelikes.

Having said that, It's really understandable that balance is not the first priority in a game Jam and it's still a really nice game! Good job!
