Dig Up!
You are an underground explorer who got stuck in the deeps with his drilling machine. You have to get to the surface! When you run out of fuel, you sink all the way back down - but you get a chance to upgrade your machine before your next try. Good luck!
Arrow keys or W A D keys to accelerate and steer, space bar for a short boost of speed (when you have charges). Avoid rocks, collect other pickups! And always Dig up!

If you tap w instead of holding, you only consume 1 fuel per tap and coast a while. With this, you can beat the game on day 1 without the need for upgrades.
So clear and nice but if i want dig down for example to Australia)
Nice, but too easy. Up to 750 ish meters on day one and naturally up to surface on day 2 after I could spend nearly 200 diamonds on upgrades.
The booster doesn't need any fuel left and lets the player keep marching on to the next fuel, but doesn't help particularly good in steering/faster movement. So I had no reason not to hold on to them and use them as range extension.
Maybe add layers of denser material, slowing the gamer down, so we have to use the bossters more frequently or risk running dry on fuel...
Fun game. I got out on day 6. One minor tweak i would suggest is moving the camera up a bit so that the drill is towards the bottom of the screen - that way we can see more of what's coming up. Other than that, great work
Thanks for playing and commenting! Definitely a good suggestion with the camera, thanks!
