This game is inspired by the “untitled drill game” on Roblox.
The idea is simple: mine ore and upgrade. You can mine manually, or build and merge drills.
After 9 weeks of development send game in web fit test on poki.
I balanced it for 30 minutes of play (that’s 2 rebirths). You can keep playing past that, but I didn’t test it:)
It’s also my first game with pets! It was easy to implement, so now I’ll be able to reuse them everywhere
One interesting thing I noticed in playtests: there are players who completely ignore the drills and merging, and just mine with the pickaxe for 30-40 minutes.
I’d really appreciate any feedback! What do you like? What don’t you like? Where did you get confused or stuck?
Hooray, it’s finally out in soft release. I’ve really improved the game after the web fit test. New balance, removed the rocket construction, added a dragon as the final goal, finished the upgrade mechanics, updated pet visuals, and added localization.
I’d be grateful for any feedback and bug reports.
I like how it turned out, a good game, and I hope it finds its audience.
Drills Merge Master is global on Poki
Not a hit, but solid.
Need 2–3 months to see how it goes.
