Extract as many minerals as you can before the oxygen runs out. You can increase your oxygen mining the blue minerals and get points mining the other ones. The more minerals you take the faster the platform will go. Make sure to press "eject" or you will end up being stuck inside the cave.
Use WASD or arrow keys for moving, space or left click for using the pickaxe.
This is the first GameJam of our group :)

The gameplay mixed with the soundtrack hooks me up, and makes me excited with the play!

My score is 98
Nice job! Gives me some Crock 2 vibes.
You did very well!
Looks and sounds nice. There did seem to be some audio issue where the music almost sounded like it started over when it got faster, maybe that could've been alleviated by a smoother transition.
Since the progress bar on the right was a secondary obstacle, I think it would've been nice if there was some guaranteed distribution of blue gems so that losing due to an empty oxygen bar wasn't so random and it was more based on skill, tho other things might've needed some tweaking then since it wasn't too difficult to get some gems except when it gets *really* fast at the end.
Cool stuff!
