Nice game and audio, good work
I liked the game! This kind of control makes the game quite difficult but an interesting concept.
I found using right to turn down very unintuitive instead of pressing the down arrow, and I disliked the control swapping feature. I think it didn't need the swap, the obstacles were plenty for a challenge, especially if you could drill up and round stuff it would be very challenging.
Interesting idea
Really cool game, the only thing I didn't like that much is that the arrow keys don't immediately swap to they're position but just rotate you. But after getting used to it, it's not too bad. Besides that really nice soundtrack and pretty neat graphics overall really well done :D
Really nice work, I like a simple mechanic done well and the control swap definitely threw me off! Great job!
Cool digging game with interesting movement mechanics & nice graphics :))
I liked the game, graphics are good and can you rate us please?

Nice gameplay! I watched your YouTube video too, I'm glad you chose the tile-based movement. I also liked that the mechanics were simple and easy to understand, didn't need a tutorial for them. Didn't know those blue tiles were fuel and that you died from the rocks, but it only took one time to learn that. Same with the mushroom effect. I also appreciate how the difficulty rose steadily.
Criticisms/Suggestions:
There could have been some more hazards than rocks and mushrooms (or maybe I just didn't get far enough...).
I think there was only one level. That wasn't a big problem though, because the game was challenging enough.
Really cool idea! Especially the swapping control mechanic, which makes it really tricky! Good game :)
Very cool and simple design idea! It was fun to try and avoid stuff, good job making debuffs that switch controls. Really solid game/idea! I subscribed on YouTube too! Keep it up and check out my game too if you haven't.
Really nice game. Now you add random generation, maybe an upgrade system and you are ready to plonk this on the play store. Great job man!
This game is very creative! The graphic looks nice, and the sound and music fits the game very well. The mechanic is unique and easy to figure out.
This is a really solid game all around! I can see this as a fun mobile game as well, like one of those Facebook challenges. Great job!
great work !! nice game :) well done ^^ i liked the game design and the graphics !!
btw i rated ur game can u do the same pls !! and thx any way !!
The game is pretty good. Very clean and also procedurally generated. Nice.
It needs to be explicitly stated somewhere in BOLD LARGE LETTERS that A/D don't control direction but rotation, and it cannot go upwards.
Still, good job. Subscribed on youtube.
Great feedback about the controls. Thanks a lot!
I enjoyed this game but i wish the S key would make the drill look down instead A. Still a good job.
Really enjoyable game! Love how there is a controller swap to keep you on your toes I also love the music goes really well with the art! Overall a very good game :)
This would be a very neat mobile game.
I liked the music that you added to the game. The game music blended each time the next hole was made. It fit the theme very well by creating holes in the environment. The game was fun with the music at the same time it made it great!
