some things are unclear with the items on times although the character does move well. Also as a side note, many people will be put off with the 7zip format as you have to download extra software to extract for many computers.
Nice, cool game! Definitely reminded me of lemmings. I would put the hint about only getting one jewel on the first level because I was confused as to why it kept going back to level 1 ( I started the game without reading much of the description.) Other than that I thought it was pretty good and the powers from the tools were pretty cool. Good job!
@sahoskins1 Good thinking. I'm just too used to using 7-zip to make everything as squashed as possible.
@handCraftedRadio You're not the first one to be confused by that, I'm afraid!... I wanted to make death more obvious, but time restrains...
I really should've made the whole item thing more clear, or at least point out some more in-game about the fact that Shift gives item help.
The dropbox link showed error (404) for me.
I'll check back again later!
Dropbox link is down? screenshots look nice. can't wait to play&rate it
404 for me too.
404 on the link.

404, but if you get it fixed can you leave a message on my page? This looks worth playing.

Drat! As per my reply to sahoskins1, I decided to compress the game into .zip format, but I never updated the links! Should be good now.
Nice one man, I really enjoy the variety of tools, and how you can experiment with them but still win. Interesting entry!
I didn't figure out how to use a couple of them though. Like the one that looks like a spear I guess? (Diagonal bottom left to top right with a silver bit on it?) and the green kinda.. pneumatic drill looking thing?
I'd make it more clear you can only collect one gem on level 1 as well. I didn't read the blurb or help section and had to come back and look here :P .
But yeah, otherwise great game, especially for a first time. Hope you take part in more LDs!
@Alex Rose Thanks! The spear looking thing is a zipline. You have to be close to a wall, aim towards another wall, and use it. The drill is a jackhammer meant to destroy blocks above you. I /really/ had to point out the function of the Shift key more... Too late now.
Great game!
At first I thought the game would be unfinished, because I have beaten level 1 after ~10 times collecting both gems :D
I really like the multiple tools you get.
Keep on the good work!
Awesome, awesome puzzle levels!
I am pretty stuck on level 6 right now where the block of dirt is blocking my zipline. I tried to cannon myself across the spikes but I just get shot into the roof.. Still got to think about this one!
The level design and mechanics are just awesome. Great work!
Some music would have been nice, and I think the controls could be improved a little, e.g. that pressing a number key "selects" a weapon and shows the hint (instead of pressing Shift) and there's an extra action key to use the selected weapon. At least I personally would probably prefer that scheme.
However, the game works really well nonetheless, the level design is pretty good and I was surprised by the variety of tools you get. I'm currently stuck in level ~6 or so, the first one with a lot of spikes, where you get the crate for the first time. I assume I'm relatively close to the solution, but couln't make it back from the jewel. :/
So much content for 48h! I love all the tools, it was really exciting and rewarding seeing what each one did. That glorious fling on L5 ... Nicely thought out levels and decent graphics and controls. I would have preferred stronger gravity as it felt a little too floaty to me, and of course sound would have been awesome, but this is an excellent entry
Interesting game, I'm really enjoyed game's mechanic.
But there isn't any music, unfortunately.:/
Anyway - nice!
Nice game. You included many tools and levels, given that you only had 48h. Thats very impressive!
idk what happened but i cant move from level 1 when i collect the 2 diamonds ):... Interesting idea :D great work! :D
It´s not clear that you only have to get one gem.
The game is ok.
I enjoyed the game, the variety of tools available was a nice addition.
