Thanks Daulton! We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us!
Since we wouldn't have time to implement an audio slide or some form of options menu, we opted to leave the music not to high so we didn't blow people ears out lol, but in some systems or audio devices it can definitely be an issue.
We also like the idea to include a counter of how many uses you have on the Q powerup, and carrying multiple people at the same time.
We decided to not allow the player to go back up the floors by default*, because we thought it would provide an extra challenge since the player would need to make sure he got everyone on the floor so he can proceed to the lower levels, which makes the Q powerup more relevant and valuable.
*What I mean with "by default", is we have plans to add placeable stairs as an item like the bomb, so the player can go back up if he needs to, but that is part of a future iteration.
About the rest of the issues, those are part of small bugs we didn't have time to fix, but we'll definitely have a look at that on future updates.
Once again thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it!

We used a plugin by Nvidia called APEX Destruction that turns a mesh into multiple chunks set by us, and with a line trace we apply impulse and switch the normal wall with a destructible one and a second to be the "leftovers" of the original wall and deactivate the player collision response on the chunks so you can move through them with no problem. It's now discontinued, a little big buggy to work with, and can definitely not work for what you may intent to as it almost didn't for us, but it's what we somewhat knew how to work with. I would suggest studying chaos destruction from Unreal (the game is made in UE4 btw) if want to make something similar, since it's their in house implementation of what APEX did, but that I would imagine it's much more stable and reliable (even tho it's in pretty early stages).
The problems you described it's not super common but definitely not just on your end, those are part of small bugs we didn't have enough time to fix as you can see from the 15 minutes before deadline (lol), and yes! We agree on the fire thing, it was kinda rushed till the end, thats why you couldn't see it present on the first two levels.
Thanks for the review and we're super happy you got to enjoy our game! We're sure out there playing other people awesome games and leaving rating and feedback in hopes other people do the same to ours, thanks for the tip!

HAHA, and here were we crossing our fingers that nobody would notice the lack of stairs! We had a talk about that, we originally planned to include space for stairs but block them with fire, it didn't make into the final version of the jam as you could (not) see lol.
Thanks for playing and we are very happy you got to enjoy our game! And oops, looks like the collision is a bit funky there mate, sorry!
