If you want to download it and you don't know how to use drive, click File and then Download.

Interesting concept. Could have used a timer or something to gauge how well one is doing.

jm77345 2013-04-29 14:55

Thanks for the idea. I'm going to revamp the game and continue development. I might add more levels/difficulties but thanks for the feedback

I miss not being able to move diagonally.

metadept 2013-04-29 15:34

Interesting, I like the appearance of the blocks. I have two suggestions: First, some kind of total score or indication of how long you've survived. Second, make it possible to move diagonally. Hope to see you continue working on this!

Diagonal movement and and score counter would have really improved this, but not bad for a first try with the program. The collision sound is a bit annoying though.

Interesting game, controls are a little annoying.

"Invalid zip file" - Can't run.

umu 2013-04-29 16:12

Your zip file appears to be borked.

BUG: I slipped through the wall boundary, and never got hit anymore.

Try the google drive links:

My file system is bugged so any files require special permissions. The drive ones I uploaded earlier should work. And yes I found that bug and will fix it in the new version after LD26

Error (404)

umu 2013-04-29 16:54

It's a cute little thing. I like the nippy feel of the character. The effect on the blocks, while cool, is really straining on the eyes.

good luck with your future GMing. It's pretty handy.

404

gama11 2013-04-29 17:37

The link above gives me a 404. The Google Drive link downloads a .gmz-file, which I have no idea what to do with. :/

gravitygames 2013-04-29 17:52

For some reason, I can't play this game. When I try to download it, your Dropbox gives me a 404 error. Did you move or delete the file from your Dropbox folder?

jm77345 2013-04-29 20:01

Try the link again. I think I fixed it.

gravitygames 2013-04-29 23:02

It says that the zipped folder is empty. If it helps, I'm on Windows 7.

Perfect example of sticking to the theme. Though I wouldn't say it's very innovative, it's still very fun!

klianc09 2013-04-30 11:17

Basically what everyone, else said, better movement, wall glitch, annoying sound and funky colors (that's not a bad thing).
Seems more like a "Learn-GameMaker"-Test, but hey, that's what LD is there for: to try out something new and motivate yourself.

tankete 2013-05-01 05:25

I liked the speed increase, until it got crazy fast! Instead of just the speed increase, I was expecting the walls to close in. Like others have said, some kind of timer/counter to try to keep me playing to beat my best.

The main character was a tad small for an old-timer like myself. But overall I liked the simplicity.

infernet89 2013-05-01 14:47

.zip is broken, link in comments point to a .gmz (maybe need gamemaker to run that?)
Didn't voted.

squared-muffin 2013-05-02 00:00

Pretty good entry for a first run with game-maker, but like other have said, diagonal movement and a timer would have really improved it!

xewlupus 2013-05-03 05:16

Argh, my eyes, my beautiful eyes T__T Awesome!

ethankennerly 2013-05-03 05:28

Sorry, it says the zip file is invalid (didn't vote).

sylvain-p 2013-05-03 23:47

The red square become crazy almost all the time.

avidgamernino 2013-05-05 04:53

when i first start out, i have no idea who or what i am. where's the fun??

eatenalive3 2013-05-11 23:49

Says zip is invalid. :L

mach60kas 2013-05-18 12:39

Very apt, given the theme. It's worth noting that you can move out of the level and simply never die. Still, quite a solid entry! :)
