Under Pressure

Submission for Redot Summer Jam 2026

Babelite is a fast growing crystal that can be used as a power source and is extremely dense fully grown.

Good news, you work in an underground mining facility for babelite guaranteeing major profits

Bad news, it's broken into the facility, breaking down the electronics, and the facility only has 1 hour left of oxygen.

With limited time, you must escape the facility, by powering up the electronics, and moving upward. This is where diamonds are made, can you survive under pressure?

IMPORTANT ITEMS:

BABELITE: Grows extremely fast, and can be harvested. They start off green and solid, and harden into a blue and transparant crystal that is nearly impossible to break once finished. Mine the babelite and pick up the pieces as a fuel source. They grown in different sizes, and some pieces may shatter from dengerous heights

BATTERIES: Charged with babelite crystals in a charging station. These batteries are large and power different areas of the facility.

CHARGING STATION (BLUE): The charging station is located in the first room, and is blue, with a deposit station to the side of it. Place a battery into the station then deposit the babelite to charge it

POWER STATION (RED LIGHT): Place fully charged batteries into the power stations to power up nearby electronics such as lights, doors, the first floor elevator, and conveyor belts. Items with power will be indicated with a green light, and those without will have a red light.

CRUSHERS: For whatever reason, the electronics on these didn't shut off, but now instead of crushing babelite, they crush people. Crushers are indicated as on with a green light, and transition between walls on conveyor belts. Not all conveyor walls have have crushers, so keep your eye out.

GRABBABLES: Other items include boxes, chairs, and lanterns. One illuminates dark areas, the others can be stacked to reach vertically.

Thank you for playing! As you can tell by one sound effect, this wasn't finished. I had a busy month, but regardless, I wanted to challenge myself and see what I could make on my own with a limited time frame. I hope you enjoy!
