From what I've played so far, this seems to be another winner from Nitrome. Very addictive, wonderful art, catchy music, and it has the right difficulty, becoming quite hard but not infuriatingly so.

First Nitrome game... ever, I think, that I've enjoyed enough to finish. Very fun.

Scratch what I said about infuriatingly hard - level 30 is a killer! Apart from that, still really enjoyed it.

Why do Nitrome games crash my Flash so often? Every one of them.

The ending makes me think of an old game I had on my Amiga 500, "Galactic Invasion". You had to collect five pieces of a missile that would destroy your enemy's solar system. There were some fun messages if you destroyed the wrong one, or stood too close to the blast...

"You fool! You have destroyed your own solar system! And you were in it!"

Those gems are completely useless, and yet I cannot stop risking life and limb to get them. Why must games play on my natural urge to collect shiny things? Whyyyy???

Fantastic game!

I loved the variation in the planets, especially when you'd come across one shaped like a skull, gear, or banana. Chopping them apart was great fun!

Simple and enjoyable. This one was a hit with my circle of friends. Highly recommended.

How do I know which level I'm on?
If the one with

four sawblades plus a crab on a perfectly round purple planet

is the last, I might try to finish it, but if it's not even the "killer" Alex mentioned, not a chance.
Great game. Even though the protagonist isn't what you would call cute, by the time you've beaten a couple of even uglier monsters together, you're best buddies forever. Well, at least until you run into a level where you have to say, "you're alone there, mate".

@Chic Yeah, that's the last level.

It's really all about timing. If you time it right, you should be able to get two shots straight through without getting hurt. After that you can get hurt on your next two shots with your two heart buffer and then win. Of course, when I did it I ended up getting hurt twice earlier and then just getting incredibly lucky on my last shot.

The last level isn't that tough.

Follow the blades to the left. Time your shot so that you drill right after you pass one (just after it goes into the planet). If you time it right, you can keep the crab thing behind you and get all shots done without hitting anything.

There is a bit of luck in it, but that is one of the easier ones IMO.

@Regy Rusty: Thanks for your answer! I'll have a go then.

never seen a game so desperately in need of a jump button.

Reply

I like this one.

Needs some form of defense. Jump, dig-dug pump, bombs, whatever. Just masochistic timing is not really a complete game formula, sorry.

Got to level 21 before I died several times and got bored. (I died many times before, but didn't get bored enough to quit.) It's alright, I guess - but you need to be able to jump.

This is one of the greatest things I've seen for a long time, and definitely the best game from nitrome.

Why? Because it is really a new basic game concept I've not seen so far.

AUGH! That Level 30! I've got to 100% so many times only to be killed by a blade before I land! D:

Reply
Joe Gona May 1, 2010 3:00 PM

Finished it.. Yay!
Some levels required patience and luck, but its a new one to put your mind to. Especially when messing with fruit-shaped planets.

V2Blast May 1, 2010 7:31 PM

Aaaaand I'm done. The music was very catchy... Gameplay was repetitive, but oh well. Still fun.

Reply

I can't play the game, it seems. The area where the game should be is just white.

hilarious end...
last lvl way too hard!

Does this remind anyone of drill mario in super mario galaxy 2?

Elise, nugnut! May 3, 2010 9:58 PM

Sooooo satisfying...

I beat an annoying crab level and when I won a crab hit me and exploded XD!!!/

Also, big tip:
dig little ledges. You know? Rough edges. Then stand on it and dig! (He may refuse to dig.)

Level 12!Please help..it's unpossible!(cake for anyone who gets that)

I did most of Level 11 without killing any monsters. The planet was really small when I killed all three monsters in one drill.

Reply
N I T R O MEfan May 8, 2010 8:32 AM

Help, try to lose just one life by killing the Boombot, and then use a perfect obtuse angle to destroy two bolts in one drill, killing the enemies with just three drills.

Reply
N I T R O MEfan May 8, 2010 8:35 AM

Oh sorry, I did most of Level 10 without killing any monsters, and on Level 12, Help, try to drill in an area that the caterpillar isn't in.

Reply
N I T R O MEfan May 8, 2010 8:47 AM

Level 15 is easy! I only lost one life and I was more then halfway through the planet.

Reply
hahaha May 8, 2010 2:28 PM

umm how do you beat level 21?

Reply
N I T R O MEfan May 8, 2010 6:55 PM

Hahaha, Level 21 is about timing. Stay in one area until you drill. When the dig-bots leave the area you're in, drill with good timing.
