The drill thrill by d_0o_d

[raw]
made by d_0o_d for LD29 (COMPO)
Hello people, this is my game... The drill thrill!

Simple game, you've got an awesome drill and like mining. This is your regular job, you do this to get money, because you like money.
Fortunately the shopkeeper also likes money and he can equip your drill.

But what's the point? Digging down, getting money just for the sole purpose of upgrading your drill? Pfff...
But wait! There's more! Deep down there lies something ... what could that be?


Installation instructions:
Windows: Just download the file that fits your machine. If the 64Bit version won't work, try the 32Bit one.

Mac: I don't know how you run your apps. Seriously guys, I just followed the packing instructions. But if it works, please tell me.

Linux: Yeeeeah, sorry. Linux is also my main OS, but there's no good way to make binaries. So just download love2d for your distribution ( reference: http://love2d.org/ ). Then open a terminal, cd into the directory where the *.love lies and execute
love thedrillthrill.love


Thanks for playing and rating.
Have fun, I know I had while programming it!

I spend more time on this than I should have haha. Nice game ! Yet at the beginning it is frustrating when you can hardly get the coins you mine

I really enjoyed this game. Scary to go down further, while it gets darker and darker.

Cool game! Very well put-together. The graphics get the job done, and the tutorial is great. As it stands right now, the collision detection is a bit too precise. I know, too precise, right? But yeah, sometimes you've gotta cheat a bit in favor of the player to make them feel more awesome than they really are. Make it a bit easier to pick up coins, and you've got a really fun little game on your hands.

Loved it! Really great RPG-progression elements.
Was expecting something exciting after the boss (phase 2?) dissapointing :(

This was actually really fun. I was addicted enough that I had to get everything :D

The window was a bit too tall for my laptop screen res (1366x768) leaving the text at the end after the boss cropped out, but oh well.

OSX version works great. Only confusion I had was trying to work out how to exit the shop. Nice game, liked the art style a lot
