Game Description
Key Features
Destructible World
- Break and reshape terrain with charge-up projectiles
- Physics: blocks fall when unsupported
- Multiple materials: stone, dirt, grass, sand, wood, ores (iron, coal, gold), bedrock, and more
- Bedrock is destructible but takes two hits to break
Combat System
- Three weapon modes: press 1, 2, or 3 to switch (bottom-left UI shows active weapon and glows when selected)
- Mode 1 (Digger): Default. Hold left click to charge, release to fire; right click for rapid fire. Best for digging and general combat.
- Mode 2 (Machine Gun): Hold left or right click to spray high-speed, low-damage shots. Good for sustained fire.
- Mode 3 (Payload): Charge and release left click to fire one slow, heavy projectile that explodes in a large blast (with cooldown). Best for big single hits.
- Longer charges (Digger / Payload) = more power and larger explosions
- Knockback affects movement
- Fight flying, blob, and triangle enemies
- Your character's shape and color change with the selected weapon (white, green, or yellow)
Procedural Generation
- Infinite terrain with caves, biomes, and structures
- Trees, ores, and resources scattered throughout
- Underground cave systems with torches
- Day/night cycle
Enemy System
- Multiple enemy types with unique behaviors
- Difficulty scales with depth and distance from spawn
- 7 enemy levels with increasing health and aggression
- Special enemies in deep areas
Exploration
- Levitation: hold Space (or W / Up) to thrust upward; use A and D (and W/S) to steer direction while levitating
- Zoom in/out with scroll wheel
- Discover hidden caves, underground lakes, and ore deposits
- Dynamic lighting: your light brightens when levitating and dims gradually when you stop
Health & Death
- Your health is your light: getting hit by enemies or projectiles dims it
- Light recovers slowly when you are not charging or levitating
- At zero light you die: the game pauses and shows run stats (max depth, torches collected, enemies killed)
- After dismissing the death screen, the world resets and you return to the main menu (all progress and unlocks lost)
Controls
Movement
- A / Left Arrow: Move left (or steer levitation left)
- D / Right Arrow: Move right (or steer levitation right)
- W / Space / Up Arrow: Levitate upward (hold to thrust); combine with A/D to steer
- Mouse Wheel: Zoom in/out
Combat & Weapons
- 1 / Numpad 1: Weapon mode 1 (Digger)
- 2 / Numpad 2: Weapon mode 2 (Machine Gun)
- 3 / Numpad 3: Weapon mode 3 (Payload)
- Left Mouse (hold): Charge attack (modes 1 & 3) or spray (mode 2)
- Left Mouse (release): Fire charged shot (modes 1 & 3)
- Right Mouse (hold): Rapid fire (mode 1) or spray (mode 2)
- Move mouse while charging or firing to aim
General
- Escape: Pause / menu
Tips
- Charge projectiles fully (Digger or Payload) for maximum damage and explosion radius.
- Use 1, 2, 3 to match your weapon to the situation: Digger for digging and versatility, Machine Gun for fast pressure, Payload for one big hit.
- The bottom-left weapon icons match your current mode and glow when selected.
- Collect gold and torches to power up (more damage and flame); death resets everything.
- Avoid taking too many hits—your light is your health and recovers slowly.
- Explore deeper for better resources and tougher challenges; watch for falling blocks after explosions.
