This game got my attention because the concept reminded me of the GBA game Drill Dozer, but it really is completely different than that game (but just as wonderful). This is a momentum platformer at its core, you use your drill to move through soft ground/water/snow/etc and launch yourself from spot to spot, fighting enemies with your drill along the way. The game has super creative level designs that I was loving the whole way through, especially in the third and fourth worlds. There are some small vehicles and gun sections which are a blast to play, and the bosses are pretty challenging in a fun way that makes you feel very accomplished when you finally get them down. I’ll never complain about a game being too short (I definitely prefer that to how bloated games often feel) but I definitely would have loved a few more worlds in this because it was just so well made and fun to play I didn’t want it to end.
