Drillbound is a portrait mining-extraction adventure about going deeper without losing everything. Guide a rugged drill robot through dangerous planets, choose how far to push your run, collect rare ores, and return to the depot before the cave collapses. Start with World 1 for free. Upgrade your robot with permanent improvements, manage fuel, hull integrity, cargo, and consumables, and unlock a five-world journey. Every descent is a risk-and-reward decision: drill through layered rock, discover new materials, balance your route home, and decide when to turn back. Use repair kits, energy cells, beacons, and dynamite when a run turns dangerous. Sell what you recover and invest in a stronger, more efficient machine. Keep your bearings with the in-game logbook and planet progression. Buy the one-time Full Game unlock to continue beyond World 1 and experience the complete Drillbound journey. No subscriptions. No ads. No premium currency. Designed for focused portrait play, Drillbound delivers offline exploration with tactile touch controls and a persistent upgrade loop.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Drillbound at none against DigDigDrill's shown. DigDigDrill's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
