i really like the art and mechanics, but a lot of times i just get stuck in 1 block until i die, probably skill issue but kinda frustrating
If you don't push a column down, you can charge up the pickaxe, which, when charged, breaks the block below you (down arrow). Also there's some strategy to not pushing a column because it may open up future possibilities (like having access to more floorspace which naturally gives more chance for an accessible tile to be triggered).
