Hmm... I like what I see so far, but mining doesn't seem to work for me. It plays an audio cue but nothing else happens?

I see this game has a lot of potential. I lost due to the gas but when I wanted to play again I couldn't. The game has a pretty nice mood and is very relaxing. Keep up the good work
@iak I think this might be poor communication on the part of my design! Only the light stone blocks can be mined. I tried to make the sound effects of hard stone being mined sound like a pickaxe 'bouncing off' ineffective though that wasn't very clear. Thanks for playing!
My character freezed on hammering the intercome
Also after jogglining with 3 objects after some time i jsut rushed with a picaxe down
The idea is so cool. I like the art. 8/10 Great one
Really cool !! Very cool mechanic with the mining and I also really liked the narrative. The only critique would be that the movement felt just a little bit unresponsive. Nice voice acting also :D
@mero Yes, unfortunately I was a bit short on time so that ending was supposed to be more animated. The idea behind it is your character breaks down the bunker door. Due to time constraint the animations / interactivity of that were a bit lost so I just froze the character and played the voice lines. Thanks for playing!
@theheheo Thanks for the feedback! I don't have a ton of experience with 2D platformers, so that is useful feedback. For my next jam I might brush up a bit on ways to make the movement feel more responsive. Thanks for playing!
I found the game pretty interesting! I was a bit unsure what to use the other items for, so I ended up just going all the way down with the pickaxe. I liked the rope mechanic, but a bit unsure of the core game loop as it basically seems to only be walking and destrooying blocks to get further down. Anyway a complete game, and a good contribution to the theme!
This was fun! The sounds kind of annoyed me, but apart from that, it was pretty good!
Cool I like it! But art it not so good.
Very nice! I like the artstyle (pixel big good) and idea of the game. I did almost miss the bunker because I couldn't see where I'd drop down to and was scared but hey, I got there in the end. My first playthrough I died because I was messing around trying to mine all the blocks, but the second playthrough got me to the end just before the gas overtook me. Nice job! The SFX are a little jarring, but either way well done.
Nice entry, really liked the voice overs in the narrative. The way the blocks 'break' is really cool too! I replayed it quite a few times trying to get all the items to the end to see if I could get different endings. In the end I was able to find only 2 endings. Did I get them all? :-)
@swen Yup you got them all :). I was gunning to make a third ending, but ran out of time unfortunately. Thanks for playing!
I'm glad I played a second time or I never would have heard the voice acting
I kept dying to the smoke lol, couldn`t find anything after the second rope (wich I really liked!!! Nice mechenic!) The art and that color pallet REALY! set the mood perfectly! Awesome job on that front!!! Overall a great game!
took me a non-trivial amount of time to realize that the only thing i could mine in the starting room was the one block that was slightly lighter in hue than the others. also something a little odd about the movement mechanics that makes it feel like the character is ice skating. really nice art style though, pretty nicely implemented concept!
Interesting mining mechanic. The narrative part was cool. The movement and collision are a bit janky, and I kept picking up the wrong item. Overall a good entry.
Collisions are weird, nice mining mechanic tho. Not bad in general
