Noted for the update. Thanks for commenting~

(1 edit)

Added a little door opening scene. Not adding color coded  quite yet purely because the level design is going to change, but I have that noted for when the time comes. Thank you for the suggestion!

I go over the thought process for the jam version's control scheme in a reply to ronaldbabe down below somewhere.  In the post-jam update, steering will be done with A/D left/right. Thanks for taking the time to comment! 

I'm working on a post-jam update where I switched back to using A/D for steering. The issue with using it at the time was there is no delay from when you are walking to when you are drilling. So if you're walking right(D) and you begin to drill you'll immediately begin to nose dive. Which I found myself having to correct my path faaaaaar too often than it was worth. As I said, I'm moving back to the A/D scheme in this post-jam update because I've re-worked how some thing operate. 

 Yes, the drill zone are basically a bunch of 16x16 tiles. The drill zone makes use of Quad Tree data structure so if it gets hit, then it'll break down into 4 smaller pieces (1 in each quadrant). Once they get down to a minimum size, I just delete them. 

For sure, I'm thinking of going ahead and re-working the existing sections to better represent what I was going for in a post-jam update. As well as extend the overall length. 

Yeah, that is all I had time for. So there is a wall of spikes that are blended in with the background that I threw in there literally seconds before I exported the project to upload.  I had good bit more planned out, but such is game jam games. I ran into a numerous issues with how I initially wanted to handle the digging, but after 7 hours of trying to get it to work I found that it's actually a known issue with Godot. And will not be fixed until the Vulkan integration.
