Meltdown, Down, Down

(Previously created on 4/25/21)

Meltdown, Down, Down is a 2D platformer where you have to mine ores and purchase upgrades in order to progress. The goal is to collect ancient ice artifacts deep beneath the surface in order to create a weapon to stop a volcano about to erupt.

Story

You’re dropped off at Mount Hau, a volcano that is suddenly about to violently erupt within just 10 minutes! Fortunately, you remember from your briefing that the volcano is thought to have powerful ice clan artifacts buried deep beneath the Earth’s crust. Collecting all the artifacts may provide a way to stop the eruption…but there’s no way you could get down there with your current gear! You now have to collect valuable ores to upgrade your equipment and dig deeper and deeper in search of the artifacts. Can you take the heat, or will your mission to save the day flicker out?
