Nice game. I liked the "Insert Coin" on the start screen. Nice touch :-) I particularly liked the orange "coming next" indicator. That was very interesting and I found myself looking at the orange indicator more often than the green one.

Perhaps more of a punishment for not hitting the right key. As far as I could see, getting it wrong just didn't move on to the next hole. If you lost time, or had to restart the level, that might add a bit more jeopardy to the frantic button pressing :-)

As I said, nice game, well executed.

Very nice! I really like your game here, as well as your visual style. You music also fits very well. However, once you play it the first time, you never really need to play it again. Plus the game feels liek it should throw in a couple curveballs the more holes you dig.

Nice little game, simple but it pushes you to challenge yourself. Add in a high score tracker, that will increase the replayability. I like the retro arcade music.

LanthanumDeveloper4 years ago

Yes, a high score tracker it's good idea. Thank you for feedback :)

This is a very interesting idea, you nailed the theme and the gameplay feels really good. I love a solid mechanic done well and this is just that. It could also easily be built out into a bigger game. Great job!

Outstanding game, I love it when a game has simple mechanics, is smooth to play and you know by just watching the screen what to do. Achieving that is extremely hard , congratulations on your amazing job.

10/10 on the visuals, love the pixel art, love the drill animation and also the transition between levels, your art work is simply marvelous.

The sound design is also remarcable, fits extremely well within the game and the main game loop is pleasant to listen to.

I would also like to report what it looks like a bug, while playing, I failed one input and got what it looks like two next possilbe steps, but it only happened once.

Congratulations again, you have made a remarcable game indeed!

The gameplay is smooth, I feel like I'm a real drill master when I am getting good at it.

Yet, I think the sound effects could be one of the fundamental core for this game.
This game could be evolved into another level, if you add drill sounds to it.

There could be drill launching sounds in the background,

and maybe some heavier sounds when you successfully drill a hole.

(This could create strong feedbacks for the player)

LanthanumDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

Thank you to play my game :) For sound design you're right but I didn't have time to do more for this :D

204 holes ! Once I tried to go faster the game got quite challenging. I would have liked to have a bit more information about the next holes and not just the next one. The UI is also nice and self explanatory ! Good job overall !

Submitted

LanthanumDeveloper4 years ago

Nice and thank you for feedback :) Personnaly my record is 237 holes (after 1000 dev tests). For the next holes I was afraid it would be too simple.
