Really solid visuals and overall asthetic. I like the main mechanic but it can be difficult to gauge how slow my drill will be move based on just how long I hold the button. 

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback! I totally agree, it's a tricky one to balance. I'm working on quite a few update ideas in that are which I'm planning on releasing once the game jam judging has completed. Thanks again!

Nice game, with great sound effects. I think the most important thing to add would be a preview vector for your move path.

Developer

That's a really fantastic idea! I'm also experimenting with an alternative control system (tap for slow, hold for fast) which seems to balance the difficulty a lot better. I'm planning updates for once the game jam judging has finished, so really looking forward to developing this one a bit more :)

Excellent style. Extremely difficult.

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback! Yeah I simply ran out of time to properly balance the difficulty, I'm getting some great feedback here though and already have plans for how I can improve the game once the game jam judging has finished. Cheers!

You defnitely have to give the drill a function. You cant have a drill that does not drill :D could become an ok android game if it had more variety 

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback! You're totally right of course! I simply ran out of time for quite a few things, difficulty balance etc. :) I'm actually planning an update to DrillBit after the game jam judging has finished, and I have included a super drill pickup on your recommendation, thanks so much!
