Pico Driller
Welcome to Picotown, a city like any other until big blocks started to pop out of the earth right into the middle of the city! The picopeople need you: Pico Driller!
Falling blocks that could squish you anytime? Small capsules of air underground? Ever-present danger? Prepare to drill your way and save the day!
Also playable on iPhone/Android here!
CONTROLS
- Arrow keys to move and navigate menus.
- X/Z to drill in current direction.
HOW TO PLAY
- Drill as deep as you can, but don't get crushed!
- Air consumption increases the deeper you go, make sure to refill in time!
- X-blocks take 5 drills to destroy AND 20% of your air. Beware!

Your Welcome!
Susumu is red and green rather than pink and blue for some reason.
It's pretty hard to avoid falling pieces when they come from off-screen.
I wish I had a android ver of this game. . .
YES
It's basically Mr. Driller except on the Pico-8 :D
veeeeery good and amazing game!! the creators and this game i give my medals of coolness and amazingness because im the coolest dude ;)
loved the ps1 game, and this is a amazing demake!
This is a very cool concept and greatly executed! The little percentage bar thingy is a nice way to stop people from just drilling straight down and adding to the experience at the same time. Great game!
