New Demo is UP! (v1.3.0)

Drill Bot Delver
A browser game made in HTML5

A new demo versionof Drillbot Delver is out! Yayyy!

This new version features many improvements, such as:

  • A new "lost city" level theme
  • New items and upgrades
  • A revamped tutorial
  • Improved level generation
  • New sounds and graphical effects
  • Basic mobile UI support
  • Improved controls and keyboard shortcuts

Not to mention a myriad of other bug fixes, optimisations, quality of life improvements, etc.

Admittedly, this version took a lot longer to make than expected, and there's definitely still a decent amount of work that needs to be done regarding bug fixes and balance changes. But overall, it made more sense to release it a little early rather than just spending more and more time aimlessly polishing stuff up.

As for future work, the plan is to hopefully use this new demo to get feedback on what needs to be changed, which can then be implemented in a new version down the line. So if you have any criticism or feedback, it would be greatly appreciated. Development will probably slow for a little bit to prevent burnout, but definitely will continue.

Thanks to everyone who decides to check out the game!
