About this game
Drill Bird is a cozy-yet-tense digging platformer where every trip underground counts. You play as a Bird, fallen from the sky, working to hatch your egg. With a drill for a beak you dig deep for precious ores, and bring them back to to empower your Egg and upgrade your abilities. Outsmart monsters, upgrade your drill, and don’t let night catch you too far from home.
DIG DEEP
Explore underground caves, mine valuable ores, and uncover hidden treasure. Every block you break or not will bring you closer to helping your egg hatch.
FEED AND GROW
Collect ores and feed your egg to grow stronger. The deeper you dig, the bigger opportunities - but every choice matters and will bring risks.
OUTSMART MONSTERS
Dangerous creatures lurk in the dark. Drill, dodge, and outmaneuver them to survive another day.
GET HOME BEFORE NIGHT
Time is always ticking. Make it back before darkness falls… or face what comes for you.
