Awesome game, very hard, the way game should be, didnt quite understand why I was picking the signs though.

Very hard and charming

Interesting idea! I like the variety in the enemies, but I found it very hard to predict where I'm going to place the box. That combined with some collision box issues made playing the game a bit hard at times. Some kind of a score would be cool, even if it was just 'time survived' :)

Very very difficult. I'm not sure I figured out how to survive properly, but I did learn to protect myself from metal spiders. I like the concept.

Interesting game.
It's a little tough, but that's what makes it so fun!

Enjoyed it, could have used some audio. Wished there was some scoring system so I knew how well I did. Also support making it bigger.

Really nice. It's easy to misplace a block, as it's hard to tell where it will land. Reeeally needs some frantic music. :D

A very nice little game, the simple spritework was cute, and defending yourself by placing blocks was a nice change to the survival formula.

Two issues I did have though, I wasn't able to figure out a way to tell the difference between missiles and the robot spiders until they appeared, and block placement is a little hard to control. This led to issues where I got myself trapped by my creations, or just wasted bricks. Perhaps a simple cursor, or snapping blocks to a grid could help?

A fun, innovative game.

Thanks for your comments guys. I had no time to realize all things, sounds for example. RockhopperGames, i think it`s a good idea to snapping block to a grid. I don`t, if i will do this, is this will break the LD rules?

Very well made hardcore game. Absolutely enjoyed it!

ulydevsecondgame 2014-12-09 18:36

Nice idea ! :)

oh_andrej 2014-12-09 18:38

Fun and challenging, just the way I like it. Nice minimal graphic style and lots of stuff out to kill you. I like how boxes break after a while so you can't just hole up in a corner. I had a lot of fun with it and will have some more after I'm done writing this sentence :P

Fun idea. A score somewhere would be nice to have

rockhoppergames 2014-12-10 06:29

About grid-snapping: This is my first LD, so I'm not sure, but I think adding grid snapping would count as an improvement and therefore be against the rules? :(

But I think if you polished this up a bit (added sound and a scoreboard and such) you could definitely publish this to a flash game site after the competition if you want!

This is really cool. All the elements fit together nicely. I liked the particle effects. Very retro.

lurumdurum 2014-12-10 11:18

Had to think a few times before I actually understood what was happening, but a cool concept anyway :)

plasterphantom 2014-12-10 11:19

Usually don't really like this kinda pixel art but this time it kinda worked for me, the mechanics could use some work but I guess that's to be expected. Good game.

mortl8324 2014-12-10 11:23

The lack of audio really bring the game down. I like the idea of passively surviving by placing blocks, but it wasn't really so apparent how to get more blocks and what I was supposed to be doing. I do like the graphics though, it seems quite polished on that end.

dontre 2014-12-10 11:46

Pick up bonuses to get more blocks or to restore health.

hotboxgames 2014-12-10 20:13

Cool concept! Graphics are nice too! Explosions look cool

dokthar 2014-12-11 18:15

Nice game, interesting gameplay. super hard

boracho 2014-12-11 18:40

this is an idea that deserves some post-dare development! it's too bad there's no sound, I think it could've benefited from it. Either way, good game!

ViliX 2014-12-14 10:56

Cute pixel art :)

billrizer 2014-12-14 13:40

Innovative game - was a little confusing as to what to do though :)

wilou1428 2014-12-14 13:55

Interesting concept...

slothmachine 2014-12-15 09:41

Sweet pixels.Hard as hell. Good job

nicealexanderas 2014-12-15 16:53

It looks like my game ;) hahahaha great work :D vey fun game :D

tommyboys0107 2014-12-16 10:44

Good game, if have score mechanism will be better.

01rafael 2014-12-25 12:26

Great survival game! ;)

piscythe 2014-12-30 01:20

Nice, fun and inventive. It was way too easy too place blocks a few pixels off from the lasers and fail to block them.
