Thanks for the kind words. In the next few weeks I will be making an improved version tweaking mechanics, better music, et cetera, so any suggestions for improvements are most welcome.
Also I am impressed that anyone managed to break open the core and get out alive.
@jimmypaulin: I didn't think of much of a back story, but you are supposed to be a small drilling ship dropped from a larger mothership.
@DaveDobson: Success with the core is indeed far to random in the compo version. In the post-compo version you have (limited) flying abilities to go back up after draining the lava. This makes it considerably easier to get at the core (no bombs are required), but it is still pretty hard. The randomness can be unfair, but the idea is to be able to assess each level very quickly at the start to recognise when it is a waste of time.
This was great. I think I'd have enjoyed it more if it was a bit more fast paced. My microbe also had a tendency to get stuk eating when I didn't want to.
A trippy entry.
More than 80 games played so far, best intro yet.
Looks interesting, but I think I glitched my way through the level by dropping and picking up the blue thing over and over. That was easier than figuring out how the game worked. I hope you will make a post-compo version so we can see what you were aiming for.
Will be bookmarking this for further play later. :-)
One of my favourites.
Enjoyed the visuals. Looks like the start of something cool.
Another diamond in the rough, I think. I hope you make a post-compo version.
Lovely.
Great stuff. An astronaut of some kind would have made more sense with the controls.
One of my favourites so far.
Came back and finished this. After playing more than 50 entries this is still one of my favourites.
Ran okay at first, but then started to chug too badly to play. I would like to try this one, so I hope you can fix it. :-)
