Nice concept!

Changing the blocks to people/obstacles could have better emphasized your take on the theme. Other than that, it has a neat Minecraft + Lemmings feel to it. :)

Won't rate because I can't get it to do anything 0_o
Game starts with the blue box bouncing around in its space on the left and I can't interact with any thing.
Tried clicking on dark gray, light gray, blue and red blocks with and without shift held. Nothing
Tried dragging the blocks with and without shift held. Nothing. :/

The "Shift+Click" on grey blocks didn't work for me... is thi a bug?

I couldn't solve the "impossible" level. Does anyone know how it's done? Is it just impossible?

bwdevel 2012-12-17 12:03

Only works in Chrome, doesn't work correctly in Firefox or IE.

@xgeovanni it's possible, climb up the wall on the right.

This is a challenging new type of puzzle game.

The light gray blocks are a bit hard to see on the white background, for the rest a nice game.

Wow I really liked this! The puzzles are interesting and the concept is quite unique. I had great fun on it.

My only nit-picks are that it could have done with more audio and that any level where you can fail within the first few seconds without action is rather unfair.

And that it doesn't have much to do with the theme - but who cares! Great little puzzle game.

Nice little puzzle game! Had fun playing. My favorite level was "loopy".

same problem as De10ter, can't do anything on firefox/osx. looked nice judging from the graphics though...

I really enjoyed this! I didn't play through all of the levels(I stopped around when multiple moving blocks showed up), but I think this is a great entry.

This was a fun game! Although I only got up to the Tetris level, the block placing mechanics made for a lot of cool puzzles. You kind of forget how it relates to the theme after a while, and background music would be nice, but good job otherwise~

Very nice concept, but lacks in the realization.
1. does not work in FF for me, shift+click does nothing (used chrome instead)
2. mouseup is sometimes not detected, which gets very annoying
3. why the heck do I loose, if two moving blocks of different colors meet?
4. at least tell the player the boxes represent opposing factions that are going to kill each other, imagination will do the rest
5. show the player, how many blocks he has picked up (e.g a little number in corner)
6. solve the case of placing a block, where a moving one is, currently it just hides the moving one, which can lead to exploits (wanted? - say so ingame)

Really nice concept, i totally needed an animation for the walking cube..

aare 2012-12-31 15:11

Nice game, but I miss the counter of picked blocks - sometimes I don't know how many are left

I really like this game.

The mechanics is really fun and levels are entertaining (when it ends the first reactions is: MORE !).
Maybe the interpretation of the theme is too subtle.

Also, it only works correctly on chrome.
