Awesome, thanks Mantis for letting us know about the glitch! Glad you found it enjoyable. We've talked about the idea of a detachable drill as an upgrade. Grappling hook drill? Swing from the ceiling, reel ore in to you, drill from afar, etc.
I had the same bug- but for me it was whenever I held a left or right arrow and then bottom. but while the drill is left behind, you arent able to jump, and it spawns in the next room with you, so there arent any exploits. (that i found.) Do you have a discord server? If not you should make one and start a community! I would join and know multiple people who would want to!
I just found another glitch. You can get the drill to be underground when you are holding down. I would love to explain more if you need, Or if you have a discord server I could stream it there. THIS is great! I have an idea for a new mechanic btw: use the disconnected drill. when your drill is disconnected it still deals damage to enemies and can shoot, but you cant jump.
Thanks for the feedback! We're planning on making a Discord server in the future. In the meantime, we'll be posting updates on our twitter https://twitter.com/GunDrill_
We'll announce here on itch and twitter when the discord goes live! We'd love to see your suggestions.
