You Gnome the Drill

Made for Ludum Dare 57 with theme "Depths"

People always confuse Gnomes with Dwarves and compare them to each other. You've had enough of that!  

You are a Gnome who is tired of the Dwarves being known as the best hole diggers in all the land.  

For this reason, you built a giant drill to do the work for you... as long as it has enough fuel...

Gather resources as you explore the dungeon, but return in time  

to keep your drill safe from waves of attacking monsters! 

Controls

• Walking:  A,D  
• Jumping: Spacebar  
• Sprint: Left-Shift, Left-Control
• Dash: Right Mouseclick  
• Shoot: Left Mouseclick  

This Interface shows you the oil tank of your drill. If this hits zero it is game over.  

It drops over time and loses even more when an enemy hit the drill.

You can refill your oil tank by collecting these crystals within the mine.

You can see how long until the next monster wave with this bar.  

As it gets closer to being full you should head back to your drill to defend it.

Picking up this crystal can help you get back faster. For each stack of this resource you can dash once using it up.

The last resource you can find is the ammunition for your weapon.  

You will need it to defeat the enemies attacking your drill so make sure to gather enough of it.

The enemies can deal damage to your character too.

You can refill your health by picking up health crystals in the mine.
