This game is really good, I like it. The fact that I have to dig my way through the platforms around the level made me feel like I am searching for equipment to repair the spaceship at the start of the game. This game definitely has that NES style and feel to it! Overall, this is a great game!

I bid farewell to Tola'ah and its beast.

Two small caveats : the screen stucking in place during the wyrm phases can be confusing as your character gets out of it and the digging can get tedious on replays, and as I was confused then I had to restart much more than I'd like to admit until I finally managed to win.

However overall the game is fun, it's atmospheric and cryptic with fitting visuals and great music, controls and speeds are pleasant and the difficulty is perfect for the context, the game was satisfying to beat.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! I'll be working on some bug fixes, including the screen lock issue you mention and some fine tuning of the gameplay / visual tweaks to upload after the jam ends.
