@patomkin good eye, the roof is indeed rubber banded. I was tinkering with the balance till the very end of the jam, may have made it too aggressive in the end (I wanted it to be hard to outrun, but also for the player to always have a chance to escape/out-dig it). Its speed ranges from 3 floors per second if its 50+ floors away from the player, to 0.5 floors per second when its close to the player
All in all, I had fun while playing and I really liked the concept, great job :)
