Escape from a crumbling ruin, by ruining it even more!

Shoot at the walls to knock them down, but be careful!
The floor around destroyed walls will become unstable, so you'd better not stand around too much...

This is a short game I made in about 10ish hours. There's 4 levels overall, although the final one is quite hard.
I hope you enjoy!

Instructions

Shoot at walls to destroy them.

When a wall is destroyed, the floor around it and 2 tiles away will become damaged.

If you step on a damaged tile, or it becomes more damaged, it will become a pit.

If you step on a pit, you'll fail and need to restart the level.

Grab the flag to beat each level.

Good luck!
