Click for Post-Jam Version

Post-jam version contains music and bug-fixes. I'd recommend playing the post-jam version for the best experience, and score keeping in mind that the original had no music. Think that's not fair? The original web version here is still available if you want.

Drilly's Journey

Drilly is desperate to dig dig dig, but he he can't quite get enough momentum to start digging from his little jump. Help him explore in a cute little relaxed puzzle-platformer.

WASD to move and Space to jump. Press R to restart from the most recent checkpoint.

The web version is recommended as the Windows version has some minor visual bugs.

Drilling Rules

The link below provides tutorial images for how drilling works, but I'd heavily recommend trying to figure it out yourself - this is just in case you are stuck or confused.

Development Stuff



Tools used:
- Unity
- Aseprite
- Ableton (for sound effects, unfortunately no time for music)

Made in roughly 24 hours, as I was busy for the first day. Overall I'm reasonably happy with it, although I wasted a lot of time rewriting the movement - Unity's physics system really isn't built for the kind of grid-based movement rules I wanted.
