Some key ideas from Vampire Survivors have been shotgunned into the dwarf-powered mine-'em-up Bore Blasters, which I've found incredibly hard to put down from the moment I tried it in this week's Steam Next Fest.
You pilot a little helicopter-like ship deeper and deeper into the ground of various biomes, clearing a path with frankly excessive weaponry ranging from a machine gun to bombs to Vampire Survivors staples like orbiting axes. Destroy and collect ore to gain XP that unlocks temporary, draft-style upgrades for the run – more damage, special drones, faster fire rate, and so on. The ore you collect will later be spent on permanent upgrades to your vessel, letting you tank more hits, dive longer thanks to more fuel, and again deal extra damage.
