Under Pressure by Arthridas
My first game jam ever.
An underwater facility is in crisis mode and you are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
You need to survive until rescue arrives

I was confused at first by the brace and duct tape it wasn't clear what they do. You move really slow, I personally would make the player faster and make the space bigger. The challenge doesn't seem to ramp up fast enough, I got bored after a minute or so.
Great job
I feel like it should be a lot less forgiving. When tiles break, it should do exponential damage. So you lose one tile and the room shrinks by 1, loose another tile it shrinks by 3, another it shrinks by 5. I feel that would add more of a sense of urgency.
I really like the concept, too bad it's a bit slow to finish: you don't really feel underpressure :). I also loved your character art ^^.
Since your game doesn't use other keys than directional I'd suggest you double your keys with the arrow keys, it's much better for non-qwerty users ;).
Ya, I kinda broke the balance when I made some tweaks to the mechanics towards the end.
But maybe now we can see who can trigger a stack overflow error on the timer as the new challenge. Not even sure if that's doable, but that would be a different kind of running out of space :)
That was the idea with the duct tape. It started out as a "wouldn't it be silly" kinda thing. :)
I had some more mechanics ideas like "re-expanding the wall", and "make a wall invincible".
But didn't have enough time to properly implement those.
