Interesting concept, and the music is nice. The controls, however, are confusing: the rotation directions seem to be reversed (pressing A rotates the cube clockwise, and D counter-clockwise), and there's no indication of which was it's facing.

There's something oddly pleasing about this, and I can't figure out what. The controls itself are a bit horrible, after all - at least the red cube could show better what side is facing "front" and "back" for the movement. :)

Yeah, the controls were a little confusing, but I really like the music and the game fits the theme well!

aymes 2013-04-29 13:48

Agree with ZeroDivide about the controls. Left and Right are the wrong way around! otherwise I found it to be fun knocking those shapes off.

If you gave all the shapes angry eyes it would be funnier though :)

I had the same issue with the reversed controls. Otherwise, fun little game.

Neat! Agreed that the controls seem backwards.

berjah 2013-04-29 13:54

Good game that requires some skill. I had a little trouble remembering which way the cube was facing. Once I worked that out I was able to work on suminating the opponents.

kewry 2013-04-29 14:22

Controls are really hard to get used to, perhaps because I have no idea where the cube is facing, music fits in nicely

nikteddy92 2013-04-29 17:18

Great game,
a little bit hard controls, but still good!

It took me a little while to get used to the controls, but once I did I enjoyed it. Great music, too.

nhmllr 2013-04-30 00:30

While the controls were confusing, I found the general concept pretty well executed. Nice idea.

I don't know why that green cylinder keeps humping me, but great job!

oniiram 2013-04-30 10:24

Very cool concept, try to improve controls maybe. Or add a face to the cube to know which way it's going.

Here there is a photo of the Developer during the Ludum Dare xD He can confirm!

Intersting, and very nice music...GG

kunzbe 2013-04-30 21:46

it was fun to see geometric shapes sumo
the controls need some work

metalcan 2013-05-01 18:16

Cool game. The movements gave the simple shapes a lot of personality.

captainkraft 2013-05-02 17:20

That was a lot of fun. I'd recommend adding a texture to the player so you know which direction you are facing. Well done

imagnity 2013-05-02 17:28

Any game that makes me think is the winner! This is definitely a good ride.

fishbrain 2013-05-02 17:31

lol... that is very cool! I like the control and lack of shadows... adds a novel simplicity to the game. Great mood.

martin_monosys 2013-05-02 17:32

Fun, but still needs some work, like a way to show where the player is facing... :) Nice music!

blennosoftgames 2013-05-03 03:33

I really liked the music! Knowing which way the cube was facing wasn't a problem for me, but the left/right controls being inverted threw me off. Also, I have no idea what I was supposed to do. But I hope it was push the other shapes off the platform. Because I did a lot of that, and it was fun. The momentum for overpowering the other shapes feels very right.

granada 2013-05-03 16:32

Good concept.

smilingcat 2013-05-03 16:39

This brought a smile on my face when I played it. Loved the concept.

One suggestion would be to give an indication of what way the player is facing - not being able to see that made the controls a bit difficult to handle at times.

sampotasz 2013-05-03 21:07

Liked the concept!

wisegamer 2013-05-08 14:29

I really didn't knew why I was having more score , I took 110 ,and I was confused about the front of my square :(
