can you double check on the web build? i was able to play it but it looks like lightning was somehow broken?

playing it self was fun.

Doesn't load... :-(

Pretty neat entry. I like the core mechanic, and would love to see it expanded - perhaps being able to drop patches that slow enemies or put up temporary walls. I also think it could work well as a game in polar coordinates, with a button to switch direction! You could theme it as an alien defending against humans landing on their planet ;)

All the blocks were flat rectangles on OSX/Safari. The game seemed to be at a fixed difficulty and never got harder, maybe spawn more enemies as time progresses?

Sweet idea :) Could be a great casual game if you will continue developing! The colours could be a bit more friendly/appealing. But totally fun to play!

Great idea to a casual game, liked the way the cube Eskimo turn and go back when there is no ground!

To me the white cubes were cube sheeps and I was a not-so-giant worm killer! haha

Thank you all guys for the comments and fixes!

I'm doing that right now! Hope in 20 minutes it's fixed up and running!

lucentbeam: thank you! I will definitely write down your ideas!
Actually, the spawn rate should increase, but I must've forgotten something.

You all are awesome! Thanks :)

@Obvious_San: I'll try to put some better colors on that :) maybe a background of snow.. Thanks!

@Galvesmash: I loved doing the Eskimo go back! It was quite simple and went right at first try!

gcrsaldanha 2015-08-25 16:48

Ok! I think that's running now! Check guys :)

the game itself was just plane awesome. However i could run off the map and there were just allot of bugs making it hard to enjoy

Love the main mechanic. Really nice. The sound effect got a bit annoying, though.

tuturto 2015-08-25 18:44

Fun game without anything extra. Music was unobtrusive, but sound effects started getting annoying rather soon.

gcrsaldanha 2015-08-25 19:56

@wavegunner232 Thanks and sorry for that! I've made this in such a hurry... Hope I'll have a more stable version soon.

@zanenga, @tuturto thanks for the critics! I'll try make some better jumping sound (I actually just randomize the bfxr till one that was ok)
Thanks for playing!

it was very fun!

This is interesting. I like it. :)

Simplistic but effective, The wave aesthetic really gets your imagination going when you attack upward

gcrsaldanha 2015-08-26 15:19

@Jawesome, @MicroMacro: Thank you, guys!

@jtpup0: really? That is so cool! I'm awful in aesthetics generally hahaha =) Thank you!

Nice work! Excellent webgl performance on my machine. I did have to click the white unity banner before inputs worked. Could you do an .onload func w setfocus() in javascript in the html?

gcrsaldanha 2015-08-26 23:55

@McFunkypants:Thank you! Is is that simple?? I'll implement tonight! Thanks! =)

mubox 2015-09-01 13:43

Good mechanic. :)

Biruts 2015-09-02 00:59

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

simonaiso 2015-09-04 08:26

What a great idea and brilliantly simple in its execution. I love the minimalist art style!

phi 2015-09-07 17:43

Quite good, has some bugs, but otherwise plays nicely. It looks more like a prototype, but if you implemented some more challenge and some 3D models, this could be a cool little game! Good job! :)

nidzakornjaca 2015-09-09 04:22

The concept is good, would be cool to see a further developed version.
