A downloadable game for Windows

Submission for the Unreal Engine 2019 Epic Mega Jam

Team Name: Perkerakia

Game Name: This is not a Drill

This is not a Drill is a Fast-Paced Arcade Game.

"The Calamari Empire will bring chaos and destruction upon all living creatures."

Game Description:

Your mission is simple my fellow squids. Maintain the integrity of your vessel as it descends upon Earth's crusty mantle. You will complete your quest once you've reached your destination and utterly destroy their Planet. Afterwards, stories of your victory will be heard upon all curves of the Galaxy.

During your descent, you will be required to perform a wide range of actions in order to keep the vessel's core functionality running.

Such tasks might include: 

- Maneuvering the vessel and maintaining a safe course away from hazardous obstacles such us lava and hard rock. Your radar will help you in this endeavor
- Controlling the vessel's pressure, temperature, and oxygen levels. Keep your Plant Tanks safe at all cost and don't forget to turn around the central valve.
- Putting down any fires that might occur along the way. Use that fire extinguisher we gave you.

You can also power up the vessel's drill to descent faster or use that energy on the radar system. The choices are yours... good luck!

Hmmmmm. Visuals were great, which is why i downloaded. However, played it multiple times, and couldnt figure out what to do. Pressed Y on just about everything, with nothing happening. and on the second play through, the WASD player controls no longer work, but was still able to crouch.

Looked cool, but my buddy and I couldn't figure it out.

Thanks for taking the time to play!!

You can press or hold the action button (Y/PgUp) to perform certain tasks. Pickup/drop the fire extinguisher when fires break out, hold to turn the valve for it to release the build-up pressure and hold to fix the hydroponics tanks that break. You won't hear feedback sound when fixing the tanks :( .

As for the big red buttons, they are for maneuvering the drill, distributing power between the radar or the drill's rpm, and shooting the laser.

The fact that we wanted to portray an old school feeling of a game and not having much time to polish it, led to a confusing one. At the end of the day, YOU ARE A CALAMARI led by en evil overlord that didn't pay to much attention when building the vessel :D

The bug after playing again when losing or winning is an unfortunate one...

(1 edit)

Works fine over here. Good job guys! :)

Thanks a lot Redsoup :D

Can't open the zip file...

Hey there DrewBanyai, we've tested it on several different PCs and it works fine. What kind of software are u using?

Thank you for your feedback!
