Since lots of people told me the game is almost not controllable I changed the controls to keyboard. Everything else stayed the same...
You fly a Toxic-Chopper to clean the earth from toxic fluid that got pumped in years for years by the oil/gas industry.... Now it comes back and it need to be removed again...and that is YOUR JOB :D
Fly carefully to the toxic and pump it up with your vehicle. Don't get too deep into the toxic! Otherwise...
There are 5 Levels!! Come on, it's not that hard.
Afterjam-Controls:
left/right : a/d or arrows
thrust : return or space
Jam:
100% Mouse-based:
Left-Button: Thrust UP
Mouse-Movement: Left<->Right
Yes the controls are tough, but that is part of the game. It is all about timing... :D
Mac-Port: Got the game ported to mac. There are some issues with openal and it have a bug when leaving the game....but hopefully it should work :D
Android: Touch to thrust and accelerometer to move! :D The accel only works only on devices with portrait as native orientation correct. Otherwise the wrong accel value is taken...Game needs lots of power and a decent resolution(otherwise the start-game button won't show up :D)
Since my engine has still some issues it would be great to tell me your system you played on (especially if it crashed)
@Marcus: Thx for playing! I fixed the bug with the A-key and now the ingame instructions should appear on windows as well... still the 'restart-level'-bug to fix :D
@AtkinsSJ: Not sure about xp, at least it works on my win7. @Titiesouris: Hmm,seems the GUI is not shown, damn. @BlazingFanfish: Yeah, the controls might be a bit hard and might differ from mouse-settings,...not sure why I didn't implement keyboard-control (too late for this now)
A quite challending and fun game, although my right arm thinks different (somehow steering with the mouse made my arm hurt after a while o_0).
At some point the "toxic collected" counter gave a value of 199.99999/200 so I was afraid I had to restart the level, but fortunately it still registered as 200/200!
Toxic lunar lander dreams! I swoop my eggshell craft around and slorp the goo. I found the first goo the nicest: I fell precipitously into further goo and did not get to Elephant for nearly long enough. Wishing that my deaths were catastrophic and not so brusque.
I like the idea of the player being a thing :) One big critic: the sound effects were too loud (elvating sound, hitting-the-floor )! That's a pity because I had to turn the volume down and could not hear the well done, moody bg music anymore :(

Crashes a lot. Crashes at the end of the level so I couldn't play it entirely. Good game though. I like the graphics. The slurping animation is very good/funny. Also, nice engrish. It's always interesting to hear man-made MIC sound effects.
This was really hard! It's tough to pull off such a precision skills based game without it feeling unfair, and Toxic Below did a pretty solid job of it. The controls are responsive, if a bit difficult to master (I played mouse only version) and getting the timing right to hover over a spill just feels great.
Neat choice of mechanic, and nice graphics. I found the jam version controls really hard to use, but the game seems pretty fun. Downloading the post-jam version for later :)
I like the game mechanics but when I reach the end of the first level I just see chopper spinning on itself and nothing else. Ii's stuck so I have no other chance but to quit... Too bad.
Nice game, one of the types I really like, those fly and reach some point games :) And a really nice model of the helicopter :) I hope the game will be further developed, as it's already a succesful 'timestealer' :D
Very good! It is challenging, but that's part of the appeal :) It did crash on my Windows 8 machine though, just after I'd collected all the waste from the level in which there are multiple pools. I do like the sound effects and the slurping animation.
Also I made a linux version of my game for you (the daring adventures of the blob)
