Hello! Name's Sebastian - I am a game dev from Sweden, Malmö :)
A couple of months ago I was laid off as the studio I worked at shut down. To cope, I decided to make a game on my own and release whatever I had at the end of those months for free. Throughout this period I was very lucky to have friends join me and contribute with art, sounds and music.
What came out of this is Drillbird - a digging platformer about a tiny bird with a drill as its beak. It’s a pretty chill ~2h long explorative platformer with a focus on juicy gampelay loops, exploration and secrets. Similar games are the SteamWorld: Dig games, Motherload, and maybe a touch of Domekeeper (but less stressful hehe).
This has been some of the most fun I’ve had making games since I started out as a teenager making LittleBigPlanet levels back in 2008. I hope you like it!
Drillbird is available for free as of today here on itch! :)

Here is a trailer I cooked up:
That's it, bye!
