Interesting concept! I like that you mine one full block at a time. Most games make you dig a lot just to make progress, but yours felt great! I also liked the dialogue boxes, but they were a bit annoying when trying to mine upwards. Congrats on the entry! :D

I liked the need to have to worry whether or not your drill was going to break. That led into cool resource management to try and think about if the path you're going to take to the transmitter would break your bit or not.
I think it could be cool to have certain tiles do different things with your drill, like softer materials or ones that are guaranteed to have items.
I think this was a pretty cool game. I liked the idea of the game, and I think that it's something that can be built on top of for a good horror experience! My main critiques simply involve the repetition of the music, which is good but gets grating after hearing it loop repeatedly lol. Having bits of ambience and quiet would also add to the atmosphere, I think.
Overall though, pretty solid entry! You have a good thing going.
Sadly not enough fear... But a cool and stresssful concept. Keep working on it !
Very well pieced together! I could see this remodeled and sped up just a bit and being a really fun game to play.. More variation on music and ambient sounds would keep me playing for even longer! good work!

The concept is fun and the implementation is functional. I played through twice and was never at a shortage for drill bits. The music is a little intense for how frequently it replays. Overall a good start.
Good Concept, I won first try which was suprising. the Music was fantastic but I do wish for more variety. the ending confused me alittle, would like a restart button. the art is definately barebones. but its getting somewhere well done
