What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

You Know The Drill is a short incremental mining game with relaxing gameplay and satisfying progression mechanics that most players find engaging and well-paced, though some feel the three-hour runtime lacks enough variety and becomes grindy toward the end. Common praise centers on smooth progression, beautiful art, and effective incremental design, while complaints focus on limited weapon variety, occasional controller input issues, and a perceived lack of content evolution. Players generally recommend it as a worthwhile purchase, particularly at its budget price point.

Boring. Game doesn't evolve enough to stay interesting. There's 4 special weapons which is a blip on the interesting scale, then it's back to grinding levels. Even opting to go for smart choices to increase income, it takes forever especially that final stretch. Plus it's about 3 hours of gameplay? It's just not worth it.

Really enjoyable game, progressing felt smooth and simple while maintaining the players drive to progress. Very much worth the $5

An enjoyable, yet buggy game. It's great how your progression is not only shown on the skill tree, but also in the environment itself. HOWEVER, the game frequently ignores buttons on my controller. Still, a very satisfying time. If the Developer fixes the controller issues then I'd call it a perfect, chill, casual game.

Fun short game, got it because it reminded me of Motherload (the old flash game). A cool first go from a solo dev, keep it up.
Recommended Oct 2, 2026
Simple but works extremely well. It has a good progression that keeps you going and you never really feel like you're just wasting time. I think it's just as long as it should be, I honestly don't even know if I think the rush mode is needed. Extremely effective incremental game.
Recommended Oct 2, 2026
3 hours of beautiful art, relaxing gameplay, and addictive mining mechanics. While there was slower progress at times, I didn't ever think it was ever too tedious. My only note is that, due to the game being compiled for windows, I received 0 achievements when playing on Linux. Hopefully Steam/Proton eventually patch a workaround. Well worth the price imo.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
