Big drill is a specific gaming power fantasy I don't get to engage in very often. I always appreciate when you can really feel upgrades rather than just being +10% or so. Really good risk/reward mechanic because I have bad judgement and I kept dying constantly trying and failing to get a big haul.

I wanted to make different sprites for the drill to show the evolution of the upgrades, but we didn’t have time to do it, so we stuck with just one sprite that doesn’t change. It would definitely be a great addition to the game.
And yes, the game is really punishing at the beginning if you go too deep but it gets easier later on.
Thank you for playing and for your feedback ! :)
