Drill Squad

Fun! Addictive! Easy to make a game that frustrates. This one doesn't. I'd love to have it on my phone, with auto save.

Graphics good enough for me not to impact immersion.

Lack of sound and below average art (Even though I really liked the block animation) make the gameplay the only kinda good part about this game.

But even though the randomized levels are a nice touch there's still something wrong with the design of the game itself, I'm talking about the bombs, I don't know what you were trying to do with them, but with no audio warning and the fact that they're barely visible behind you at this point they're basically just "Yup the game restarted with no reason". Another problem is the fact that either the shop appears too soon or the level doesn't spawn enough money (I'd just cut the prices to fix this.)

There are also some visual annoyances, like the drills showing even when you're not drilling, or the score not being visible when you're to the far right.

But the game is still playable, and if you focused a little bit more on the details it'd be a lot more fun to play.

Decent game. It's fun trying to see how far down you can go. The increasing bombs add a bit of excitement, but it's pretty frustrating when you lose a minute or so of digging because you can't get out of the way in time. The graphics are alright and I kind of like the effect when you drill a block. It could really do with some sound effects, though.

Solid gameplay. Sound would have been nice. Also, I always die to a random fireball that just engulfs me instantly. What's that about? Still, good foundation for a game. Could use more drones though. :p

I had fun playing and thought the player sprites were good. I didn't see the bombs the first 2 times I died, I think maybe they should drop in front of the player, or a bigger visual cue when they do spawn. I didn't make it to 200, I did get the better drill and get down pretty far, the bombs start dropping pretty crazy.

The theme is very strong in this game. Found the different sprites amusing and the bright sprites really make the game look playful and fun.

Otherwise, I don't feel like there's much game here. There's a good chance, especially the deeper you go that the game just randomly kills you with a bomb and you start over. The art looks great at first, but then there's this effect that makes the blocks get larger as they become damaged that really irks me.

Amusingly, I found out I could ascend the blocks instead by carefully jumping and digging to the right or left to build stairs and managed to dig my way off screen.

Its a fun concept, but I don't understand why the bombs keep falling. It literally just ends the game for no reason. I can't always get away fast enough so that's a pain to have to go back and restart. Also, there was some weird graphical stuff going on with the drill at times.

Instead of having bombs drop, there should be enemies or obstacles that I can do something about, rather than just hoping they don't drop on me.

The shop was a good idea though. Although I never actually got to one with enough money, without exploding first.
