Hey all!

Finally finished this project and I'm happy to say that it's 100% built on the Love2D engine! :D

Thanks also for some support on the forums with a few snags that I've come across! You guys rock! Give yourselves a quick pat on the back.

Very nice, you got some inspiration from papers please for the setting right? I like the explotions and how they clear the area of soil around, kinda like worms, bet that part was hard to code.

I actually had a really good idea for how to make the world destructible, so coding that part wasn't overly difficult (although that's not to say it was easy either ;) ). I got a little inspiration from Papers Please, but I think the game play is completely new.

Thanks for checking it out, btw! :D

Ooof, yeah that's happened to a few people. Generally, the solution would be to bring ladders (as that's the solution to most of these issues), but that's evidently not going to work in this case. Possibly you could place planks under the character, as that worked during a playtest where a similar event happened, but I'm not sure if your hitbox would reach.

This happened about once in playtesting, and I don't have a good solution at this point (since these cases are a bit hard to detect without introducing issues elsewhere). Sorry to see you're stuck. Hope you enjoy the game anyways. :)
