We'll be continuing development on the game after the contest. Here's some features we'll be implementing *in the future*:
-Many varied enemy types including massive boss creatures and rare dangerous monsters.
-Puzzle rooms requiring use of the Drillboid's ball mode and other special abilities.
-Different types of areas, including underwater, volcanoes and ice caves.
-Customisable stable of Drillboids and Gunboids with interchangeable drills, weapons, bodies and secondary equipment suitable for different tasks.
-Research system for discovering new technologies and building new parts by collecting samples from creatures and artifacts.
-A shop where you can buy special equipment and one-time-use objects such as a radar device for mapping nearby cave systems using your hard-earned points.
-A story in which you will learn about the downfall of an alien civilization and discover the cause.

Ok, I figured out what's up with the game not letting you back on the ship. If you press S to fire your gun while you have the orb, you'll THROW THE ORB INSTEAD. This really should be made more clear.

ok so i stole the shiny thingy and got back to the ship with some score... what now ?
the game has a good start but theres nothing to it after that...
make an upgrade system/shop submiting score gathered in the caves would be nice too... also make the map more visible where there are small caves where medium etc.
