In this permadeath roguelike puzzle game, you are a vulcanologist in a facility built into the side of a previously dormant volcano that unexpectedly erupted, causing cave-ins in the tunnels beneath and a massive flood of lava that found its way right through the front. Your task is to descend into the tunnels, clear a path, and escape somehow, all while a tidal wave of boiling hot magma chases you at every step.
WASD or arrows to move and space to shovel.
Soil can be broken with a shovel, stone cannot. Barriers spawn blocks to stop the lava behind you, giving you precious time to solve puzzles. An explosive ore, explodium, can be found in the depths, which explodes when activated with the shovel; these explosions destroy most blocks but will activate barriers. Lasers can activate other lasers, but will destroy any other blocks in their path, and forcefields protect a 3x3 area around them from destruction.
We were rather cruel with level design (it was an accident I swear), so you may find yourself softlocked with even the most mundane of mistakes.
Have fun!
