Mole Hole

Note: The web build seems to have significant audio delay and lags when there are too many particle effects(boss deaths), so I'd recommend downloading the executables

Description

This is a Ludum Dare game, made for LD48 within 48 hours.

Truffles the mole finds himself on a Sunday evening, desperately craving some Chinese cuisine. No luck, however, as his favourite restaurant has already been closed for the night. Therefore, he takes the next logical option; Digging a tunnel through the entirety of Earth to emerge in China, to experience the real thing.

However, on the way down(or up, depending on your perspective) he will have to face many foes; Three, to be precise.

• The Rat King(Also known to some as the Giant Rat that Makes All of the Rules, the Sewer Devil, or Bob), the Sewers’ indisputable ruler.
• The Plasmarachnid, the mystical guardian of the Earth’s core.
• The Greatest Chinese Mole, the biggest recorded instance of a Greater Chinese mole, who takes protecting his turf very seriously.

Will Truffles manage to complete his quest, and experience the heavenly sensation of consuming some Xiaolongbao?

Probably not.

26/04, 08:31: The files were re-uploaded a couple of hours after the initial submission due to some bugs I needed to iron out. Fixing crucial issues after the submission hour is still within the Compo rules.
28/04, 12:18: I accidentally overwrote the original Windows build when trying to upload one with a slight patch, but the difference is literally one LOC.
