Dig through an infested planet with your giant drill-city and try not to die while you do it in the roguelite city-builder CitaDrill
You've heard of the drill that will pierce the heavens, so introducing: the drill that is attached to an entire city that will pierce the earth. That's the concept for CitaDrill, a roguelite city-builder where the city is encased in a big ole dome, a larger than life drill attached to its base that you dig through an infested planet.

CitaDrill is a unique roguelite city-builder that challenges players to drill through an infested planet with a giant drill-city. The game takes place in a massive dome encasing a drill, which players use to excavate different types of blocks and gather resources. The color of the blocks crushed determines the type of resources, which are then used to build various structures and modules within the domed city.
These structures provide bonuses such as reducing pressure buildup or powering other buildings. Players can also create workers to complete tasks, adding to the overall city management aspect. However, the main objective is the drilling, which is accompanied by a tower defense element. Players must attach weapons and defenses to their drill-city to fend off giant, creepy crawlies and formidable bosses.
The game features lush pixel art and a demo available for free on Steam Next Fest. Despite a quirkiness with a reference to a real-world meme, CitaDrill offers a captivating blend of city management and tower defense, making it a must-try for fans of the genre. It is set to be released before the end of the year.
