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!

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! :-)
