Down to the Core is a 2D automation puzzle game. Your main goal is to bring Super Iron, a very well desired resource, to the core of the residing planet it is being produced in. The core has very good smelting properties that we can use to build bigger and better technologies, and we need you to bring it to the core with your engineering prowess. Along the way you'll encounter many obstacles, such as rocks and worms. We need you to solve these issues and make a clear path for our Super Iron. Engineer, do you have what it takes to bring the ore to the core?

I chose to stick to a limited color palette and a limited control scheme for the extra challenge. A friend of mine was also making a game in GBStudio, so commiting more the challenge than me, but unfortunately cannot finish on time, so this is for them I guess lol.
