Blast through rocks with your machine gun drill. Collect rare gems, ores and ancient artefacts, upgrade your ship and unlock new abilities. Uncover the mysteries of the deep and the dangers that lurk below.
Players take control of a gyrocopter equipped with a gatling gun and set out to blast their way through procedurally generated underground environments. The core loop of rapidly mining through rock and dirt using the powerful machine gun feels exceptionally "satisfying" and "addictive," according to many reviewers.
As players progress deeper underground, they encounter a variety of biomes, such as treacherous volcanic caverns and lush overgrown forests, each presenting unique challenges. The levels are filled with different types of rock that require varying amounts of firepower to break through, as well as obstacles like regrowing "vines" and enemies that attack from within the walls.
To overcome these challenges, players can collect temporary upgrades that significantly augment their firepower and mining abilities. These include explosive bullets, abilities that cause enemies to explode, and weapons that can obliterate entire areas of the map. Combining these upgrades in clever ways leads to extremely chaotic and satisfying "power trip" moments.
The game also features three playable characters, each with their own unique special ability. For example, one character has a boost ability that allows them to quickly carve through rock, while another has a rocket barrage attack. These distinct abilities add variety to the gameplay and allow players to experiment with different styles.
Reviewers praised the tight, responsive control scheme, which is essential for the fast-paced mining and blasting action. The gyrocopter handles well, and the gatling gun feels satisfying to use, with a good sense of weight and impact to the weapon.
