Drillshift
You play as a small robot, who has been exiled from society into the mines below, all because of a defect that allows it to transform into a drill. Help it escape the treacherous pits and return to the surface!
- WASD to move
- Space to jump
- J to drill
- K to drill dash (when unlocked)
- Space when underground to drill boost (when unlocked)
Be warned before you play - the platforming in this game eventually gets to around the difficulty of Path of Pain in Hollow Knight or Chapter 7 of Celeste, so be prepared to die a lot.
Although this jam was a month long, I only had a week due to personal reasons, so the world of this game isn't nearly as fleshed out or detailed as I would have hoped, but I hope you still find it enjoyable!
Please don't forget to rate for Metroidvania Month 16 Jam!

Thanks! I don't really remember the ground being hard to tell apart from the walls, but then again I suppose I also made the ground and walls haha
I think adding more colours would probably break the whole "1-bit-except-for-the-colour-blue" aesthetic, but it's not like I update any of my jam games anymore anyway... (Still might be fun to revisit some of them sometime though...)
Absolutely amazing game. The graphics feel good and consistent and the drill-shifting mechanic is really smooth and polished and also makes for some very interesting gameplay. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback! :-)
