LOWREZJAM ENTRY • 64x64 RESOLUTION

Seal the airlocks. Burn the biomass. Evacuate your squad.


ABOUT THE GAME

You are the commander of a Cleanup Crew dispatched to purge a compromised research station. An aggressive biomass is rapidly overtaking every sector. Navigate through quarantined rooms, rescue survivors, and secure an escape route before the infestation consumes everything.

Per-Pixel Simulation
The organism expands in real time. Deploy flame weapons to clear infested tiles and halt growth via chain burns.
Tactical Squad Units
Each crew member provides a unique ability. Losing a specialist permanently locks their utility.
Airlock Containment
Lock blast doors to isolate active clusters while systematically sterilizing clean sectors.

CONTROLS AND ABILITIES

WASD / ARROWS Move squad leader (remaining crew follows automatically)
SPACE / LMB Flamethrower (Leader): High-intensity flame stream. Slows movement while firing.
Q Frag Grenade: Instantly clears dense clusters and ignites residue.
R Bio-Scanner: Scans adjacent sectors to reveal threat levels on the minimap.
E Airlock Hacker: Remotely locks/unlocks blast doors to control biomass spread.

SURVIVAL DIRECTIVES

  • Lethal Core Density: Direct contact between the leader and max-level growth causes an instant defeat.
  • Proximity Damage: Infestation near squad members drains their health over time.
  • Sector Quarantine: Sterilized rooms remain safe as long as connecting doorways stay sealed.

great stuff! i got stuck in an airlock i'd accidentally closed while walking into a room, and accumulating opens didn't help :(

Interesting... I somehow didn’t think about this way of getting a softlock. Fortunately, I’ll have time to think about the solution until the end of the jam.

the counter still filled up, and decremented both times i tried pressing e, but the doors didn't budge.
