There was a gas leak in the mine and you were the one who got the chance to get away. The only problem is, that only way out is down... This is a game that tests your reflexes and may be annoying to people with slow computers.

Very simple but also very atmospheric, the screen shake and animations add a lot charm.

I found the screen shake to be a little too aggressive, almost disorienting. But the core mechanic was great and the art was really charming!

This was great. Really enjoyed this and it has great replay ability. A little graphic to show the order of tools while playing would be a huge improvement. Get this on mobile app stores ASAP.

It's good for testing the memory because you have to be able to remember which key breaks each specific block XD is really desperate when the poison gas is coming and I can't find the tool that breaks the block below
But in general I really enjoyed the game! the arts were very beautiful too

This would work well as a mobile game!

A very nice take on the theme and very well executed :)

Maybe for future jams considering a web export would be nice, as that makes it nicer to play tha game than having to download it, which Godot nicely supports.

A really fun little arcade game, the music is nice and hectic and the sound fit nicely. You can easily distinguish the different materials and tools you use so good job on that. This game is super polished too, I am really impressed, well done!

Really fun game! Super polished and has a really fresh gameplay concept. Cool rhythm game vibe to it. I'd change the audio mix a bit – I could hear that there were pretty good sound effects, but they were too quiet compared to the music.

Great game!

The gameplay is smart and fun once you get the hang of it.
The art is nice and fitting, with a lot of beautiful effects and small details like the color on top when changing difficulty.
Audio and visual feedbacks are great.

I wish there was a way to restart faster and skip the intro animation. Did I just not find it?

Thanks for the game I had fun!

Ah this is pretty neat! I like the idea, it has the simplicity and humour of a WarioWare kind of game, almost? I feel like this would be great on mobile or something. Very complete too, nice job!

That was fun! It kind of felt like a mario party minigame. I really like the idea, and you executed it very well.

Wow! A great game.

I like the tiny cutscene from the start of the game. Also, the whole game seems so polished.

Nice entry, gl in the future :D

It was so hard to understand what tool to use and when... And then it was even harder to manage switching. Cool game!

Well done! A simple game with a nice graphic and even a small intro! I found a bit annoying the fact that I couldn't change tool while using it but i think was intended to complicate a little bit the game. I've got 800+ points on easy and 135 on hard. I liked the fact that the gas changed color with the difficulty and that it keeps the highscore even after restarting the game!

A game with attention to every detail!

@viperux

Thanks for the feedback! We really tried to prevent any possible bugs in the game and deal with all the problems we've had. We've had a lot of time left, unlike last LD :smile:.
We're really glad you enjoyed everything and your attention for every details is just awesome! You don't see many people like this.

Once more, thank you very much!

P.S.: Amazing highscore! Our beta testers generally got <100. For the sake of testing easter eggs, we have reached 2021 levels, but it was a lot of a pain.

Very fun game, you can very much feel the tension while playing. I like the intro cutscene too, it's one of the details that make the game a delight to play
