Cool. Good, satisfying feeling when you stomp on the poor rectangles who just seem to get through their daily commute without being stomped.

*seem to want to
Well done game. The game feels "juicy". But i don't like gameplay mechanics. Just pressing Z over 6 levels was becoming very boring.
Overall, pretty fun. I like the sound effects and particle effects. Ambient music would have been nice. However, sometimes my square would get pushed to the side, and red rectangles would hit me before I could feasibly react. And sometimes I would stomp on a rectangle but I would take damage. When the rectangles piled together, there wasn't any way to avoid this. Also liked the view kick.
Cool mechanic, albeit repetitive.
Dang! I ended up playing that for a LONG time... the big jumps are very satisfying.
Got a little repetitive, but I really liked the shaking effect. I wish I could move sideways though.
Only managed to get until Level 6...90 or so to stomp if I remember correctly. I've done a couple different runs.
I got beat really hard off some really fast flying enemy that pushed me off the screen! That was brutal :)
Anyways, stomping enemies feels good refreshing. Good stuff!
It's like one of those games where you fling stuff around and watch it go *splat*, and it's oddly satisfying for no particular reason.
The graphics felt nice but there wasn't enough gameplay to keep it interesting for long.
Pretty simple but very fun. Stomp all teh things. Nice work.
So much fun ! BOOM BOOM BOOM ! Ahah
I like to stomp enemies! nice particle system and lovley game :)
You had me at the title. :3 But I think the game might've been better if the little red rectangles just passed through each other, maybe moving at different speeds, rather than pushing the player around - and you could up the damage they do to compensate. Plus I think the kill counter for the level would work better as a countDOWN.
Dude thanks so much for the awesome comment on my entry! :)
Your game is interesting as it provides a lot of dynamic with by simple pressing one button. I guess this is as simple as it gets. I really enjoyed stomping the little things even tough it gets a bit repetitive after a while and you can solve each level by simply holding space. :) Maybe exchanging the graphics and adding more features (or dangers) could make this game more fun in the long run. Nice shake effect with the stomping!
I am astounded at how satisfying this is. Screen shake and particle effects!
Yeah, pretty fun game. Like everyone else commented, it gets a bit repetitive. But it was fun to stomp my enemies. Good game!
The Linux binary worked right away :). Very easy to pick up and keep playing. However, after a few levels it would benefit from some improvements regarding variety.
There's a lot of good stuff in such a minimal package. I really like how the red rectangles push each other and you.
The speed of the jumping seemed just about perfect.
Not bad! Criticisms:
-The font used for the numbers doesn't match the rest of the game, if you know what I mean.
-I felt like the levels don't really fit the game's style. It would be better if the whole thing was just one level, and it slowly got harder and harder as time went on.
One of the truly minimalistic games I've tried, so kudos to you for that. You distilled one of the mechanics of a Mario game to its purest form - stomping on enemies :)
But that said, it quickly became tedious. You could have added enemies with different behaviors to spice things up (there weren't any up until the point I played).
Also, bearing in mind how minimalistic the visuals are, maybe you could have used a simpler particle for the stomping effect. It looked somewhat out of place to me.
If you could manage to keep things fresh from level to level, this would be an awesome game for a touch screen device, and one that I'd personally like to play.
Nice. Reminds me of the game I made for LD25. XD
I pressed Z! Funky little toy. I got to level 5.
The screen shake is incredibly satisfying. The game does begin to feel repetitive after a while. There are two factors at play here, I think. 1) the session length is pretty long relative to the "content" to see. 2) Losing doesn't feel like a failure on my part. Often I'll feel like I got stuck in a situation that I couldn't escape from.
Very well done. I enjoyed this a lot. One of the best I've seen that fits the theme.
Sadly it just crashes on my Win XP (32-bit) laptop. :(
