LD19: Drill Warrior

19th Ludum Dare contest was held already back in December. Since I managed to make an entry this time, I figured out I could post about it before the next one is held, which will be probably next month.

The theme was “Discovery”. Description, downloadable Windows build and source code of my game Drill Warrior can be downloaded from the separate page about the game.
