Drill The Dice
====== Gameplay ======
You are an adventurer looking for treasure in the depths of a cave.
Collect gold to buy dice upgrades that will help you find the ultimate treasure hidden at the end of the cave.
Roll your dice before venturing into the cave to get random upgrades that increase your chances of getting deeper each run.
Energy is used to dig paths in the cave. If your energy is depleted, the run is over and you have to restart. Rolling energy upgrades increases your energy limit.
Shields protect you against the furious beasts that live in the cave. You can defeat beasts using your drill, but if you run out of shields, you lose. Be careful out there, the shields are not reset each run.
Your drill level shows what type of terrain you can dig and what type of beasts you can defeat with your drill. Rolling drill upgrades will increase your drill level:
- LVL 1: You can dig Clay and defeat Light beasts.
- LVL 2: You can dig Dirt and defeat Brown beasts.
- LVL 3: You can dig Rock and defeat Gray beasts.
====== Controls ======
Keyboard: WASD for movement.
Mouse: Menu navigation and rolling upgrades.

Fun short game wish the enemies where more different from each other. Other than just having a higher level of drill
It felt like a long time getting the drill upgrade compared to the others, but this is a fun digging game.
Man, I love good drill games. This was a great jam entry!
Needs just a bit more to take it the next level. Some comments:
- faster animation of dice, or have them all roll at once
- more options for treasure, some worth more that show up the deeper you dig
- an option to end the run early
