Use of the limitation
The game uses a permanent fail state system where taking damage from hazards or enemies immediately ends the run and restarts the level. There are no checkpoints or recovery mechanics, so every movement and decision carries full consequence throughout the descent.

Really nice job :)

I played your game! Cool stuff. I made a first impressions video :-)

I’ve never had someone share a gameplay video of my game before, so this was really special to see. It’s actually my birthday today, so it felt like a really nice gift. Thank you!

Great game and very atmospheric! If you have not played it, I'd recommend trying Scanner Sombre :)

this one is actually really interesting visually, the only thing i really have to say is that it feels a bit too easy, good job though this is pretty good

Developer

LOVED the look of this, I've got a real penchant for games that look like they're made for high tech machinery. I managed to collect all 5 logs but kept dying before I could reach the bottom (I'm assuming there is a bottom given the map isn't random?), the instant death from contact did feel a bit tough. Fantastic presentation!

Thanks, I’m really glad you liked the look of it. 

Yeah, you were actually very close to the end. After collecting all 5 logs, the game finishes shortly after going a bit deeper.
