Wow! I like the original idea and the fun mechanics! It would've been better if the game would end only if you touched the walls! This way it's a tad too hard, in my opinon. Well done game, though!

Very good concept and VERY hard/addicting!

alexvscoding 2014-12-07 21:29

Very neat mechanics - enjoyed the multitasking element very much. Co-ordinating between those keys is super hard!

Watching them drift was nice and relaxing (until of course you realize where they're drifting.

Might be interesting if you offer a random start position mode (for the letters you control).

And then there's the option that I'd love to see which would be customization of which keys you use and how many keys you have to control (minimum 4 of course).

My best score was 5.

Thanks for making this!

This game is intense! :)
Nice!

This is actually pretty great, and I chuckled every time I got WASD the Fuck??!! Which was a lot.

wandersenus 2014-12-07 23:34

This game has very good concept, very good gameplay,! :)
but it's hard(or I'm bad :< )

the-jahn 2014-12-08 16:48

Really difficult, but definitely an interesting concept. Like Broivula said, it'd be nice if you only died when you touched the walls/wrong letters.

donutttt 2014-12-08 18:19

Wow this was tough! Cool idea though, demanding and fun.

occamsrazor 2014-12-08 19:42

Very original, and brutally difficult, if you're as completely multi-tasking impaired as I am :P

todnut 2014-12-08 19:42

Had trouble getting it to load. Had to refresh several times. And then didn't figure out how to get it to play.

bcole99 2014-12-08 20:38

Holy crap that's hard! Fun mechanic, but it's hard to keep track of which letter is where. you might want to make W always select the left most, D the right most, etc. Just an idea.

harley77 2014-12-08 20:39

My brain hurts. Awesome concept and execution.

alwaysinbeta 2014-12-09 11:54

Really like the concept, I definitely think you're on to something there. Feels like it could work well on a touch screen too.

cbear_wallis 2014-12-09 17:36

This is really cool!! I love the mechanics. It almost feels like an arcadey rts in the way that you have to manage all of these differen parts simultaneously. Very cool!!

mrexcessive 2014-12-10 17:55

Hi there. OK so thought was easy as didn't read all instructions... but hidden controlling of all 4 things... that's harder. Nice idea. Like the gameplay- though I wasn't any good at it. Good job!

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-10 18:52

Challenging game! well done. I Included it in part 5 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/-qEX6yeW8uQ

terrytheplatypus 2014-12-11 01:29

Very cool! I like it a lot, and I really want to see what you do with it next! I think the endless version you have here is maybe too hard to really get into (at least for me), maybe you could have separate puzzles/levels. But I'm sure plenty of people will like this version if you polish it a little.

voider 2014-12-12 16:30

Good idea, very challenging!

hippolyta 2014-12-12 21:28

Thtat WASD hard! I really liked the original concept, it is extremely hard but addicting :)

mrspeaker 2014-12-13 20:48

Hahahah... that is horrible. Absolutely horrible. Took me 10 minutes to clear one screen. Horrible. Also brilliant. It really reminded my of the old C64/ZX Spectrum games - I kinda wish it had a grating and annoying 8-bit tune to go along with it!

billrizer 2014-12-14 18:42

Damn original gameplay.

++ for using Phaser.js :)

Would have loved some more BG music and maybe a slower difficulty increase?

jannesn 2014-12-14 19:40

I see what you did there!
This is one of those rare moments in games where you think "wooaaaah!!!! so that's what's going on!"
And then you screw up.... T.T

Keep up the good work!

jannesn 2014-12-14 19:41

Oh and i answered your comment!

slothmachine 2014-12-15 15:46

Multitask nightmare. Nice idea. I am not too good at these kind of games.

vekjeft 2014-12-15 17:49

Damn that's hard, original concept. Enjoyed the simple, but effective graphics.

neonlare 2014-12-16 17:04

Really innovative and simple to grasp, definitely a test of multitasking abilities! Awesome stuff :)

srakowski 2014-12-18 02:53

At first I was a little confused, I thought it was way to easy. After I realized the W A S & D don't stop this game got INTENSE! Really awesome game, way to go!

tehskull 2014-12-18 08:13

This is kinda fun, a little slow paced, but that's not a bad thing necessarily. Reminds me of Snake on the old Nokia phones.

dream-of-sleeping 2014-12-18 09:14

Snake was actually a big influence on this game. When I heard the theme was one screen it made me think of snake. And I wanted to come up with a game that had an original concept that was very simple without any polish.

anaglyphcoding 2014-12-21 16:41

I couldn't seem to run the game.

It begins to load, then a junk of the screen turns white whilst the loading screen is still being displayed, then it freezes.

Sounded pretty fun though :)

akhilnivarthi 2014-12-21 16:43

Nice one

pixelspirit 2014-12-29 11:18

Surprisingly hard! Fun, though, and nice idea.

orion_black 2014-12-30 00:47

It seems not many people around here are fond of execution heavy kind of games. I liked it, the only issue is that you can get screwed by the random placement of the 'objectives'.

Random speculation, but I have the feeling it would easier to pick up for a lot of people if you were to use 1324 or even QWER instead of WASD.
