Drilla: Idle Digging Game

I have a few complaints about this game. First you get 5 second ads every once in a while for rewards, but the game never recognizes 5 seconds ads so you miss out on a lot of rewards and waste time. Also often it will ask you if you want an ad for a reward. If you say no an ad will pop up anyway. Third it won’t let you sell partial resources unless you subscribe to their monthly fee, you can only sell all of a resource. Besides this the game is a good idle game, you can join clans to ask for resources and challenge other clans to see who can dig farther in 24 hours to earn money. You have upgrades, and you can sell resources you mine to afford schematics for parts.

On the recent update the devs have failed to make the end game more interesting. The new drill heroes only help new players catch up. My complaints still stand, and haven’t been addressed by the devs. 1. Less emphasis on the 2048 tower building, and refocus on drilling down farther with things to find and achievements (like trillions by trillions of meters down). The game currently throttles your progress by adding % based armor to the rock to slow you down. So you constantly feel like you are making less progress as you dig. Whats worse is that as your drill slows down so do the drill boosts, so It feels like you crawl slower the longer you play. 2. Stop punishing players for getting far in the 2048 mini game. (The rewards must increase for 8 blocks and beyond exponentially for the increased time it takes). As it stands it punishes players because you lose cool-down time for the next tower build. 3. No player actions should be worthless in the game. Chests become worthless, clicking on minerals become worthless, using the new heroes is worthless... All actions need to scale to what the player is working on, so that doing something is worth doing. 4. The drilla magic plus subscription really doesn’t provide much advantage. The rewards are paltry. Anyways I won’t be playing much anymore, its a fun game for a month or two, but the lack of endgame and it’s repetitive nature will send you packing. The one positive aspect in the end game is the competitive system. This seems fully fleshed out.

This game is a great time passer. I do not need to be glued to my phone to make progress. The game will auto play while your phone is closed as long as your drill battery is juiced up. There is also a little mini game you do as well that is every two hours or every 50 gems. Towers help increase the distance you have dug overall which will help you progress to different leagues. The better the league the better the reward. Don’t be fooled though. There are things to slow down your game progress like eigor or grinders so make sure your drill is up to a good level to plow through delays faster. My only complaint though is once you reach level 55 on all of your Drilla parts, there is no more upgrades for you to do. Unless you haven’t did all the boosters yet. I will be excited again when the game produces more content like Drilla parts and also another grinder to break through. Other than that, keep up the great work and please release some more levels!
