Mechanic Preview 1 (Patreon)

Note: the GIF speed is incorrect because I recorded these directly with Screen2Gif, rather than recording a .mp4 file first and then converting that to a gif.

This is a first look at toxic gas! Toxic gas quickly depletes the air meter, requiring you to hurry to a patch of fresh air. Even though this mechanic asks you to go fast, the most direct line of action might not always be the best route. Even worse, things like conveyor belts will slow you down!

This hazard will continue to be iterated on. As you can probably tell, this uses a recolored water shader as a placeholder, which was initially confusing to some playtesters.

The level isn't quite finished yet, either. Most of the decorations aren't done yet, ice tiles don't quite fit in, there aren't that many slopes, and the background is a little too simplistic. I was working on this level (and hoped to have it done) before the demo, but the level wound up bigger than I expected, so I ran out of time. I'm currently planning on revisiting it early next year!
