Demolite is a puzzle-platformer game created by Blower Pot, with PuzzleScript. Control a drill... Or maybe, a drill used by a ghost that died in a mine? Would say most peoples probably. Anyways, the world gone into a financial crisis, due to this, the player must steal the coins from he hogrians, a species of very evil monster, they won't accept you into their caves, so they must be avoid.

Drill your way to the coins. Climb down stairs, fall through ropes, avoid ruby, and more. In this game, there are multiple materials with different functions. Wood can be drilled and destroyed, while metal cannot. Sand will crumble once you touches them, and ruby will destroy the drill. And ice will make you slip!

This is currently a demo, it wasn't finished yet. Many stuffs will be added soon, and levels. For now things are very cool.

This game have been inspired by Lode Runner, another game about ladders and enemies. This game is however more about puzzle-solving than just skill stuffs.

Here are the controls:

LeftMoves your character to left.When facing left, you can destroy wood objects on the left if pressing action.
RightMoves your character to right.When facing right, you can destroy wood objects on the right if pressing action.
UpClimbs up ladder.Usually, you cannot move up unless you're on or in ladders. You cannot stop climbing up them until their end.
DownClimbs down ladder.Usually, you cannot move down unless you're on or in ladders. You cannot stop climbing down them until their end.
Action/XDrills.Where it drills depends to where it is facing, moving left or right makes it to face to left or right, causing it to drill to where it was facing. Falling or using ladders makes the character to face to the middle, making it able to dril down.

Below there will be a list of every object and what they do. Do not read this if you don't want to be spoiled about how they work. Only see this part if you are having troubles.

And then, comes the hogrians, the enemies of the game. Again, only see this part if you are having troubles and want to remember how they worked.

Ruby TotewThe ruby hogriansThey walk to back and forth, turning whenever they hit the walls. It kills the Drill when touched from any side. They are immune to ruby, and can destroy ruby blocks.
SparkalubThe wood hogriansThey are stationary and fixed to one place like the normal blocks. They can be drilled by Drill and Redrills from above. From its left, right, and down sides there are gel suction cups that makes anything to stick to hem, Drill, Redrills, and Merad Jumpers cannot drill while stuck. Sparkalub's cups will disappear once it is killed.
Telerp TistThe ametyst hogriansThey are stationary and fixed, they are not solid, so anything can pass through them. They will shoot you to wherever you hit them from in form of a sparkle, the sparkle will revert back into Drill once it reaches to the last Telerp Tist. Basically, they act as like portals. They can be toggled between soft and solid.

game never loads, it just says insert cartridge. 

Yes I know that, I will fix that soon. But you can, alternatively use the downloadable version.

If you will still look at the game. Once I fix the problem you can tell how it was, when it is playable again.

Yes, nice game.  Good puzzles.  Wished there was a lot more than 6 levels. 

(1 edit)

It will get more soon. I plan to add many more levels. But I won't add a too big amount of objects. I did it with SWAP BOX and it was a large regret. It is hard to do the enemies, it takes me a while to test them, see if they'll work even with the limitations of PuzzleScript, and if they will be easy to make (becasue making something like more of 8 different sprites for each thing would take hours to create, I fear that this will be the case for Merad Roller and Freezy Snake. I haven't found a easy way to make Emerad Roller to work, so I may rework it, and maybe with Freezy Snake...). Anyways, it is good that you liked it.

I'm a bit confused when I get to the 2nd room. What am I supposed to do?

Also, it would help if you had the controls listed out in the description.

In level 2, there is a sand ladder, it crumbles when you uses them. So they are one-use. You must first get to that sand block to destroy the wood ladder. Becasue if you climb it, have you will die cause you cannot stop climbing up or down until you reachesw its end, and the red ruby kills you. So destroying the wood ladder allows you to be able to gstop before you hits the ruby. You must climbs from the sand ladder becasue there is a spike in the way if you tried to walk over the ladders. After getting the coins from there. You must go the that ladder that is next to the left wall of the room, the last coin is there. This level requires you to go in these two ways in a certain order, if you climb the sand ladder that gives you access to the sand block but instead uses it to move to the other sand ladder next to the left wall, yo cannot destroy the wood ladder anymore. Was it useful?

Oh, and I will after you said.
