About the Game

SKY DRILL is a 2D roguelite precision platformer. Combine platforming skills with strategic item combos to reach increasingly absurd heights and master hundreds of difficult levels. Strike it Rich! and mine deep into the ground, expanding your hoard of gold, treasures, and precious gemstones.

Put your platforming skills to the test. Conquer a gauntlet of never-ending, randomly assorted levels that increase in difficulty the higher you go.

Every screen hides an opportunity for massive boosts that send you flying into the stratosphere.

One mistake, and you'll be sent tumbling back down to the beach from whence you came. However...

FALLING IS NOT THE END

Transform into a mining machine after falling, diving into the earth at ludicrous velocities. The higher the climb, the harder the fall.

Avoid underground roadblocks while drilling through miles of sand and stone, gathering hoards of precious gold and gemstones along the way.

Sell piles of treasure in-between runs with satisfying, tactile ease.

PROGRESS

Buy valuable items and upgrades to boost your next runs in true rogue-lite progression fashion:

STRATEGIZE

Make the most of what you've got from the random in-between runs from the shop:

FEATURES:

  • Master over 200 unique platforming levels that get more challenging the higher you climb

  • Use over 30 items to your advantage, creating unique builds, discovering synergies, and min-maxing wealth

  • Purchase a plethora of upgrades that permanently transform gameplay in different ways

  • Complete optional badges to boost your prestige as a prospector and receive increasingly valuable rewards

  • Experiment with up to 6 different playable characters, each with their own game-changing mechanics

  • Compete with other skilled prospectors on the global Leaderboard

There's treasure to be found here, beneath the sand. Will you strike it rich? Or fizzle out into obscurity? The Rush never ends.
