How it feels

A cozy-yet-tense digging platformer where each underground trip feels precious as you work to hatch your egg.

What players say

Players praise Drill Bird as a charming, bite-sized mining game with beautiful pixel art and soothing music, often compared to SteamWorld Dig but much smaller in scope. It takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete, and players consistently wish it were longer.
