Cosmodrill

Cosmodrill is a space mining adventure. After activating a mysterious mechanism during a routine mining job, the player is teleported to an unknown star system. The player follows emergency signals to other space stations, fights hostile ships and investigates alien structures buried inside the planets. The main story takes roughly two hours to complete, optional content adds around two more hours, and a Mission Mode provides about one additional hour.

The central mechanic is drilling. The player digs through whole planets and asteroids to collect resources, with rarer materials found deeper down and further out in space. These resources pay for upgrades to the drill, which allow the player to dig deeper, fly further and survive longer. The drill also serves as a weapon against enemies, and special abilities can be activated in combat. Pirates occupy some of the space stations, and the player can liberate them.

The game features five distinct biomes, each with its own hazards. Described environments include lava landscapes with erupting volcanoes, areas with alien wildlife, and asteroids filled with electrically charged plasma. Players can also find alien structures hidden inside planets, as well as black holes in open space.
