I don't think it is anything to do with the game, possibly something to do with your os? No one else that I know of has had this issue:/
The game is actually really fun. very minimalistic. Graphics are great. BTW what programming language/tool did you use ? (I ask because you have not included the source code)
Thanks! I used Lua and the Love2D framework, I was going to post the source code but my laptop died on me 4 hours before the end! I just finished fixing it and shall post the source code soon!
I quite like the music :) The grow-bigger power up is cruel :P
btw you can unzip any .love file as a .zip to get the source code
Thanks :) and I know, I just felt the need to put a .zip for the people who don't know that :p
too hard, less red blocks at the start and i'd catch more than just one pink block. i love the random background, that bug that wraps top and bottom and i'ld love to have more shooting pinks.
highfive for LÖVE :D
Its not to hard! You just suck to much! >:D Jk, and all you need is love! ;3
Really like this one, fits well with the theme and I liked the powerup mechanics. Well done!
Thanks allot! glad you enjoyed it:D
Can't get the download site to work, sorry =/
Sorry to hear that:/ it is working for me however, possibly some kind of add block you have running? I dont know:s
Fits the theme, and pretty hard for my old reflexes :) Controlls could be a bit more precise, but maybe that's just part of the challenge.
Thanks for the feedback :) the controls are like that because there is a sort of 'friction', one of the power ups is actually to completely remove your friction so you dont ever slow down until the powerup has worn off :)
I like this game a lot, but I find it too difficult! I love becoming so frustrated that I play it over and over (15 minutes!)
Woah that's awesome! Didn't think anyone would spend that much time on it! :D
I have commented the same in your youtube video, add life bar for longer gameplay, change colors for each powerup square so you know what are you picking up , add particle effects, explosions to events like ,pick powerup, hit a square with fire or your own square, and the controls should be less smooth.
Nice job ;)
i made it game pad compatible your welcome
The game is nice and challenging. Me reflexes aren't good enough to get a nice score on this, however it was really fun to play. Good entry!
Liked it. Believe it or not, I missed the power ups the first three times (colors too similar?) and was frustrated with a zero score. But once I figured that out, I enjoyed it. Good music. Fun!
Better than I expected. Got a score of 5 and was satisfied with my performance, so I stopped there. :D
The slowmo/upgrade-mechanics work really well, also the fact that you have to collect upgrades to score makes it far more challenging than the usual "dodge"-game. Instead of simply avoiding stuff you have to be more active/progressive as a player, which is a good thing. Imho this is a great example of how much you can achieve with such a minimalistic approach. Well done!
I do like a challenge. The slow motion mechanic is cool.
I like the swimmy controls :)
Awwww man, adding inertia to a game like this definitely makes it 10x more hardcore of a game... having to counteract that acceleration to stop yourself is quite the challenge!
Very smart, and very well executed. It was interesting to see I could wrap around the level vertically, sure saved my skin a few times :)
Thanks! Glad so many people are enjoying it! and even happier that the game actually works! haha :p
Download link for the Linux version did not work for me :(
Sorry, there is 'no' linux build, but you can download the 'love' file and also download 'love' from https://love2d.org/ to play it.
Interesting! Definently minimalistic, and reminds me of some old flash games like ragdoll dodge and stuff :P
Simple, but nice game - suits the theme well!
Nice. Brutally hard, but I got used to it pretty quick. High score was 11. I liked the mysterious unlabelled power ups. Good music for sure.
Thanks! Damn you beat my first high score! It took me a week to get to 20! :D
