Love the idea! But probably had to be edited the feature, that if you go deep enough you can just bounce from top to bottom slices and get the score really fast and go deep as well fast. Anyways, nice one!image_2025-04-07_150828812.png
This was a fun take! Oddly satisfying and chaotic, really well executed. :)
This is an interesting take. I feel like it's a good groundwork for more in the future. I appreciate the visuals. Found myself playing longer than expected. I think giving a grace of more than one hit of lava can help extend the gameplay loop. Fun to play!
Interesting mechanics here. I really dig how you took a simple concept and just ran with it. I found it a BIT chaotic but it felt like I got a bit better every run, so there's clearly a skill component in there. There may need to be one more way to express skill or control over the thing, but I'm not quite sure what it would look like.
The music sets a nice mood and the graphics are all coherent.
Very cool entry, nice work!
very interesting mechanics! I found it quite difficult to avoid the lava without completely staying away from it, but maybe I have a skill issue
The game is nice but I am getting like 4 fps through the HTML5 version for some reason (maybe just my PC is bad lol). I wish there was alternative way to play the game.
I managed to get a high score around a bit over 520 ish, never was able to get too deep the lava pockets kept getting me! It is an interesting twist on the break-out idea; I think having a bit of leeway for hitting the lava maybe once or twice and a bit easier way to navigate to the side to avoid it would be nice to have! Great job!
Very addictive gameplay but the lava is a bit punishing. Having some lifes would've gone a long way as lava tiles basically dictate which way you can go. And having a few powerups to deal with difficult situations or to prepare a quick drill would've made it even more engaging. But great movement and choice of satifying sounds!
Really clever main mechanic!
Solid entry and a nice take on the idea of breakout. Unfortunately I think I'm just not very good at it. I think it would be nice to maybe be able to take a few hits before dying on lava instead of instantly dying. That would allow people to see a bit more of your game if they are not as skilled at a game like this. Other than that well done!
Super addicting gameplay. Love breakout type games. Sound was very well done and fitting for the visuals.
Really like this game! It's really fun and quite hard, I agree with the other comments about the lava being too punishing and maybe having some lives could help! Piloting the drill is nice and breaking multiple bricks at the same time makes the experience rewarding. Good game!
