Info About Toxic
Toxic is a 2D platform puzzle game from Nitrome. You play a hazmat technician sent into a leaking chemical plant. Each stage asks you to reach the exit and stem the spread of waste. The pixel art shows chunky pipes and glowing pits of sludge, and the music leans into an industrial pulse.
Movement stays simple with run, jump, and a neutralizer gun. The gun melts toxic blobs and clears crusted buildup, and it can hit switches to open routes. Leaks pour from cracked pipes and race along floors, so you turn valves, push crates, and block vents to reroute the flow. Enemies range from sludgy critters that split on impact to patrol drones that shove you toward hazards. Some rooms add fans, conveyor belts, and timed shutters to raise the pressure.
Early levels teach one hazard at a time and let you learn the tools. Later layouts mix systems and demand steady timing. A stray shot can flood a path you need, but restarts come fast and experiments never drag. Stages run short yet ask for tidy routes and measured aim. Optional pickups sit off the main line for players chasing perfect runs, and the design rewards clear planning over reckless jumps.
