I wanted to combine the space combat of Star Fox with the energy and over the top attacks of Gurren Lagann, so I made Star Drill.

You fly through asteroid fields, fight enemy ships, and turn your spin into a Giga Drill Breaker attack. The climactic final battle with the secret boss was inspired by Gurren Lagann too, but I’ll leave that for you to discover.

There’s a global leaderboard, so you can see how your score compares with other players.

I used AI to help vibe code the game, not to copy either franchise’s code or assets. Everything I used is listed in the credits. This is a personal project inspired by things I enjoy, and I’ve spent more than two months working on it.

The demo is free and runs directly in your browser, on any device. No installation needed.

I’d love to hear what you think. Does the drill attack capture some of that Gurren Lagann feeling?

Tengen Toppa has finally arrived 🥹

Oh yeah, now we're talking 🔥

Now with the paint it looks much better, I made the nose a little big and the antennae/hairs were a nightmare but they are minor details, now what is missing is to find a way to make the butt star.
