Metal Driller
Below our feet is a ground filled with all sorts of mysteries that we could only find with tech or by grabbing a drill and digging down like in Metal Driller. Some guy has invested in a large personal drill that they're going to ride deep down into the earth. That's why you're here, to provide some direction as he blindly moves his drill through the dirt and rock. If you can get the driller to enough ore, you can help the guy get richer than he ever thought he could be and then he may be finally able to afford a nice shirt to wear while digging.
About Metal Driller
Digging is a common activity in games with many of them being based entirely around the act of digging deep. This game is all about digging and if you're not digging, then you're not playing it right. It's got that arcade style of playing where you're trying to see how far you can go and how much money you can make. As you make progress, you'll get more chances to improve so that you can keep going. It's about digging and pushing until you feel that you don't want to go any further and return to the surface of your life.
How to Play
Metal Driller is a 2.5D arcade game about drilling deep and searching for valuable minerals using only the mouse. To move the driller, click and hold an empty part of the screen to get the UI analog stick to appear. Pulling it in any direction will cause the driller to move in that direction and you can move it around to change its direction. When level-up and upgrade options appear, you can move the cursor and click to select the ones you want. The goal is to dig deep and as much as you can while earning enough cash to power up and upgrade.
Before you start digging, you can choose to spend what little cash you have to choose what aspect of the drill you want to improve. Once you start digging, you'll start going down into the dirt and looking for ore to break up. As the drill breaks up the ore, it'll heat and if it overheats then you'll need to wait until it goes down until you can continue. Breaking boulders of ore will yield massive rewards that you can spend when you aren't drilling. Additionally, you'll earn experience and level up as you drill which will net you different kinds of upgrades to improve your digging and profits.
The digger you go, the tougher the dirt you'll encounter will be. Each new layer will be indicated by a treasure chest. Drill into it to open it up and get tons of cash.
Tips and Tricks
Nothing is working against you in this game so it's more about patience. You simply need to keep digging and take time to break up the ore to net a lot of cash. When that happens, you'll be able to spend big on multiple upgrades for massive boosts.
