This free demo version is of a rather tricky 2,000 ft drill in 'Endless Mode'. Can you reach the bottom?
- Treat yourself to a free sample of 'Endless Mode'
- Try to survive a gruelling 2,000 foot dig. How low can you go ?
- You have a limited air supply, so look out for those rare air capsules!
- You can have multiple player accounts, but the hiscore table is shared. Challenge your friends to see who can top the scoreboard !
- Use the crank to rotate the entire level.
- Dpad drills up/down/left or right.
- Bricks of the same type stick together, you can drill whole groups of grouped bricks with one drill. Beware, though, this can cause so much damage that it will trigger a cave-in!
- You cannot drill though black stone.
- Cross bricks are tough to drill through. You will consume 10% of your air supply on each one.
- Keep track of your remaining air with the air gauge on the right. It's virtually impossible to make it all the way down without picking up at least one air capsule.
- Air capsules recover 50% of your air supply.
- Falling bricks can kill you. Fortunately falling bricks will stick to any brick of a similar type, so if you're clever you can spot which bricks will stick before falling far enough to kill you.
- Always have a look around at the top of the level. You can rotate a full 360 degrees at the top, and choose where's best to start drilling.
- Bricks wobble before falling. Learn when to risk running below wobbling bricks and when to let them fall.
- You can see the back of the level through the spaces where you drill. This might help you spot air capsules which you might be able to reach if you drill sideways enough.
- There are a lot of cross bricks. Plan ahead so you never have to drill through them. Losing 10% of your air supply will easily get you killed before that next capsule comes along.
- Drilling straight down is the fastest way to progress. Sometimes you don't need any more strategy than just drill-drill-drill !
- You only have one life! If you think you might be drilling down into an area you can't easily escape from then take a second to plan ahead.
This demo is completely free. All I ask is that you be honest about the game and report on any bugs / issues you find. Feel free to send compliments too ! :-)
Hopefully the full game will be available on Itch sometime in April.
