    Yay, Rock Man lives! Can we also get Cut Man and Ice Man? Maybe Metal Man, too, if there is a sequel?

    A boss you have to fight with digging. Thumbs up on the concept and the play variety it'll add.

    Wow, nice touch! The first boss so far one might attack with a pickaxe rather than real weapons.

    Reminds me of Horta :rock:

    Looks interesting,yet kinda gimicky?

    I mean,a boss is most o the times just beating it down and avoiding atacks,but atacking with a pickaxe...dunno,seems strange.

    Also,im guessing you would need to stun it aswell?How on earth would you stun a giant drill rock?

    I get the impression that you have to dig it up to stun or expose it to attacks with regular weapons. Otherwise, it's resistant or immune.

    Seeing as it looks to go preety damm fast by its animation,im gonna bet diging the boss would be hard,or stuning it,seeing as it is giant piece of cobled up rock and machinery that drill all over the place!

    All we have seen so far were just some small gifs of the boss animations though,so im fairly optimistic that George and the Team will suprise me.Hopefully:p

    Alo,Its kinda obvious how the batle would work,no need to point it out whrn I already knew:notworthy:

    Hmmm can we name give name suggestions? If so I would call it, "drillmite" Or something, I don't know really but just suggesting something!
    Anyways I dig it and it rocks. Looks cool and I really want to fight it. Also a question, What item summons it? Some kind of mysterious stone? Or a machine that shakes the ground awakening this beast?
    Also what materials do you use to make the summoning item? I would really like to know so I could get the materials now and get ready to fight it!
    Also another thing, what kind of attacks does it have? Looking at the sprites (or whatever their called) that you made it has a drill projectile attack. Anything else?
    And another thing, (sorry if this bores you) I like how your adding a new boss and all but can you re visit other bosses and re-write/make them a tad bit better? Because the jelly king boss is extremely easy to fight along with the bone dragon boss. The materials are a bit hard to get but otherwise they got weaknesses. Again another thing to consider is that people summon and just trap the bosses with blocks, this new boss you cant do that with because it burrows but anyway to fix that or make them more destructive? Anyways, that's pretty much all I got to say and keep up the great work! I can't wait to see how awesome starbound is when it's fully released/done!
