Drill Miner is a game created for the Brackeys Game Jam 2025-2.

You control a massive drilling machine on a mission to dig deeper and deeper underground, collect rare minerals, fight off monsters, and return safely to the surface with your loot.

Your drill isn’t defenseless: you can equip it with turrets—automatic or manual—to fend off waves of hostile creatures. Between expeditions, you’ll return to the surface to spend your hard-earned resources on upgrades: stronger armor, faster mining, improved steering, and more. Each upgrade makes your next descent a little easier… and tempts you to push further into the depths.

But every expedition is a gamble. Will you head back early to secure what you’ve collected, or risk everything for the chance at greater rewards deeper below?

Tutorial :

1. Turn your drill with q and d (or the arrows)
2. To exit the depth and collect your minerals, you need to click the bottom right button. Then you have to survive 30 sec before being sent back to the surface.
3. Your objective is to reach 1000m. You can see your current depth at the bottom left of the screen.
