I really liked the concept but too me it was kind of hard at first to maneuver the drill. I think that the strength of the A and D input is a bit too much and I couldn't stop spinning. Nevertheless after getting a bit more used to it, it was really fun to dig down and to hunt gold ! ( And what the hell is the thing running after us lmao?  )

Great game, have a nice day!

I agree, the reason the turning is so fast is that I asked play testers what they think and one of the issues was slow turning. In last minutes I changed and tested it was good for me, but apparently not for everybody else. I definitely agree this was a bad decision and later I will implement limit on top of reduced speed.

Super satisfying to dig  plow through the dirt when you get a couple of drills attached. Good game

Developer

I loved the concept of the game! It reminded me of Oil Well Drilling! It’s nice to pump your drill. But for me, the game doesn’t use the limit very much. But otherwise, everything is great!

Developer

Maybe it doesn't, it's definitely not fully based on limit. But involves, considering the fact how abstract the limit is.

Everything was quite nice to me, but when you turn for a little too long the drill freaks out and spins faster than a black hole, causing almost assured death within a few seconds. I think you could implement a rotation speed limit to get rid of this issue. Well done overall

I agree, I will implement rotation speed limit and reduce it. Thank you for well written feedback.
