Drill Drill
● DRILL DRILL
Dig deep. Steer hard. Don't get buried.
---
DRILL DRILL is a fast-paced arcade survival miner where you pilot a massive industrial drill on a one-way trip to the
planet's core. The drill never stops — your only job is steering it.
Blocks rush upward at you in an endless geological assault. Tear through soft earth, hammer through stone, and pray
you have enough firepower when the deep layers start throwing reinforced obsidian and uranium at your engine.
Miss a block? It hits your engine. Your engine takes that personally.
---
How It Works
- Steer left and right to position the drill head over incoming blocks
- The drill automatically descends — you cannot slow it down
- Blocks that reach your engine without being destroyed deal full damage
- Mine ore deposits for XP (level up mid-run) and Gold (spend between runs)
- Survive as long as you can through 10 geological layers

│ Layer │ What Awaits │
├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Quartz Depths │ Pale and unforgiving. │
├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Magmatic Crust │ Lava crack networks. Your Power stat better be high. │
├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Obsidian │ Glassy. Dark. Very hard. │
├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Reinforced Obsidian │ Someone bolted metal onto obsidian. Respect. │
├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Uranium │ Radioactive. You will take damage. │
├─────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ The Ancient Bedrock │ The end. Or your end. │

Level Up Mid-Run
Every XP deposit you crack open fills your level bar. On level-up, the drill pauses and you choose one of three random
stat boosts:
- Power — mine faster
- Scale — wider mining contact zone
- Speed — faster scroll and movement
- Max HP / HP Regen — survive longer
- XP Gain / Gold Gain — earn more of everything
Spent your picks wrong? Reroll charges let you redraw the options.

Modules (Between Runs)
Gold carries over. Spend it in the Modules screen to permanently upgrade all 7 stats — up to 10 levels each, with
escalating costs. Every run starts a little stronger than the last.
---
Game Modes
Choose your flavour of pain before each run:
- Normal — Standard 35-minute descent
- Speed Mode — Time advances twice as fast. Layers arrive in half the real time.
- Hell Mode — Double block HP. Double XP. A fair trade.
- Gold Rush — Gold ore spawns twice as often. XP gain is halved.
