Hey there people! I've worked on this about... 30-40 hours? Six to eight hours a day for about five days? This sounds about right. It's not much and I've wasted some time here and there. Already I know what to criticize about this project, lack of direction and maybe lack of balance?

Don't worry it's not that bad I swear |
Well I'm not sure about that, it's hard to know how to balance things without people to try it out, I could probably fine-tune it myself but I'd rather have people play it first to see how things go from there. Please do send me your feedback, please? poik007@gmail.com is an address you can write at! Or my platformers.net account, or my twitters!

All the upgrades are pretty self-explanatory except "Teleport", press up to use it, it costs oil. |
I also know that the graphics aren't great and that the music and sound effects were stolen from other places, if I had more time/talent/knowledge I would probably remake the music and maybe think about a better style of graphics, in my head I had nice pixel art stuff but now this looks like random ms paint stuff, which it is!

This would probably work nicely as a phone game also, it's simple and in-app-purchases friendly! |
FEATURE LIST
- Pretty casual gameplay, you try and drill down the grid to find the treasure
- 2 endings
- 130+ upgrades (some of which are useful)
- 100 missions (some of which are actually beatable)
- 80 levels procedurally generated that I can't 100% say they would work but there's not a big penalty for death so it's not a big deal right now
Also the music was stolen from
- Dig-Dug
- Super Mario World
- Earthbound
- Jurassic Park on the Gameboy
- Mass Effect
- Spelunker
Patch Notes
- V0.1 : Added a button to go back to the help screen because I guess it's helpful?

- V0.3: Changed all the graphics!
- Now you need key(s) to unlock the last row and find the treasure!
- Added a description for all the skills!
