Was the resolution a challenge?
There was a lot of balancing between what was visually appealing and what was readable and made the game more enjoyable to play. In the end I think we struck a good balance!
What did you learn?
That even one pixel can make a huge difference to the look and feel of a game.

I suck at it but chefs kiss lads, reminds me of playing a 100 games in 1 cart at my nans lmao
pixel art is vibrant but not an eyesore, and the games as easy to grasp and difficult to master as the original
solid marks all around peeps!
Never played the original Mr Driller but the game and mechanics feel easy to understand. The art and music is decent. My highest score was about 450.
good addictive game!
I got 371 \o/ really fun little game I would play games like this for hours when I was little :) its quite nostalgic
I also love Mr Driller, nice demake! Very polished and faithful to what I remember of the originals.
Good job!
Love the cute visuals.
It took me a while to notice the health and "pills?", but once I did it was very fun.
I never played the original but it really reminds me of an old nes game i played, it had not much in common but the vibe is really nice, the graphics are really nice and authentic to the resolution, and the audio is also juicy really nice mate
I love Mr Driller, and this is a really nice demake, awesome achievement getting all of this done in two weeks. The graphics are beautiful and have so much personality and I love the fact you did a bleepy bloopy demake of the original music, nice touch. I think the spawn rate for air tanks could do with being increased a bit, they feel a lot rarer than in the original. That aside, awesome work here. :)
A very well polished and complete game. And accurate to how I remember the original being! Well done bringing it down to this resolution.
I never played the original game so I didn't really know what to expect. Wasn't disappointed, it was barely simple and fun! I like that drill sfx too making me want to drill even more.. ^^
But at died, haha
Never played the original so I cannot comment on that but I was able to get some fun out of this game! Graphics were bright, colorful, and enjoyable to look at. I'll admit I didn't know what was going on beyond just diggin' diggin' diggin' but I enjoyed it regardless!
great demake feels like the original and it looks and sounds fantastic
Quite an honest demake here. As a fan of the series, I played this for quite a while. Graphics all read quite well and control felt solid for the most part. There were a few situations where I would be falling slower than other falling blocks that would end up smashing me mid-air. But that didn't take away much, it just meant I had to be a little more careful.
I did hit one bug where as I was climbing over a box, I fell through the map (https://imgur.com/a/jWr6ogJ). But it doesn't seem easy to reproduce as it didn't happen until my 5th play, and didn't happen again.
I had a lot of fun playing this!
Thank you! The glitch you mentioned is something we were aware of but unfortunately didn’t have time to patch out. Hopefully we can squash it soon. Also, congrats on the high score!
I really loved the graphics of this game. Also animations and sound effects are awesome!
I'm a huge fan of Mr. Driller 2 on the GBA. And I'm a huge fan of this. Excellent work.
Nice version of a classic, Good job moving it to this resolution. While playing, there was a lot of falling through empty espace, not sure if level design intentionally has large blocks or some other thing, but mad it quite hard to get to air tanks as I was mostly falling. Overall, funny and a great entry!
I really love the sprite art in this game, it works really well to get around the limitations of the resolution! Great job!
