DRILL

Letting go is the skill.

You dig only while you hold. Let go and it cools. The whole game is one decision: when to let go. A one-handed digging roguelite built out of heat and wear.

THREE RULES

RULE 01

You move while you hold

Touch to dig that way. Lift your finger and you stop, and cool. That is the only verb — there is nothing else to learn.

RULE 02

Heat is not a red line

Past 60 heat, wear runs up to 3.5x. But some rock only opens when you're hot. It isn't a line to avoid — it's a resource you pay for.

RULE 03

Knowing when to quit is the reward

Surface on your own terms and you keep 100% of the haul; die and you keep half. Depth is a finite staircase, wealth is an endless pile.

There's one thing to learn: let go. Depth teaches the rest.

SCREENSHOTS

FIVE REWRITES

The same "let go" comes to mean five different things.

MELT Heat becomes force. Here, letting go means — not letting go.
RESONATE Match your heat to the rock's frequency. Letting go becomes the act of tuning.
DEVOUR The more you eat, the higher your heat ceiling. Riding just under that ceiling is the skill.
SPLIT Launch what you've stockpiled as a drone. Letting go becomes an investment.
DELAY CHARGE Run a charge out ahead of you. Detonation is your movement.

Two equipment slots. Pairings matter a lot — the best combo runs 1.66x, the worst 0.25x (measured in automated play).

CONTROLS

TOUCH Dig that direction
DRAG Steer (continuous angle)
RELEASE Stop, cool, take a card — or detonate / launch, depending on the build
HOLD TOP EDGE Surface on your own terms and keep the whole haul

Playable on a keyboard too (Space to dig, arrows to steer, U to surface, Esc to pause).

IN DEVELOPMENT

The deeper you go,
the better you let go.
