I made it to level 5 - http://sasha.sector-alpha.net/~staircase/squareshift.png
Fun game. Berserker Mode might be a bit too good. Thats how I got through level 4. Basically constantly grabbing beserker modes and growing till giant but then losing many as soon as it finished.

Got to level 5! Cool game, but pretty sure it becomes impossible pretty soon after 4 unless extremely lucky.
You get blown up after berserker mode and then you most likely can't move (because you're so big).
Fun nontheless!:)

Nice game, can be a little frustrating to hit bombs near the completion of the objective, but it's fun !
loved it!
I got to rainbow level (5 I think)
I ended up being massive, albeit spread very thin, so I literally couldn't move :D
Is cherry mode time random? Some times it lasted 0.1 seconds, other times like 10 seconds :P
But it's a nicely made game that got me to keep going to level 5

Had over 500 points in 5th level but the level didn't change! Noooooo!! :D A fun game though.
Very good game, the mechanics are funny, and great music!! excelent work.

Nice mechanics, I just did not understand how you used the theme in the game. But the menu animations are pretty nice.
Very fun game. I liked the music a lot.

I beat level 4!

This is really fun, especially the early levels.
Maybe the mechanic needs tweaking for the later levels? Once you hit a certain size you can't really do anything.

I love it!
But lvl 5 is a beast!
That was pretty fun!

I beat level 5 too (571/500), but it didn't take me to the next level :'(
I'll play this once you get a mac port going! I always love playing games of fellow Love2d programmers!
Absolutely love your entry, simply fantastic, good fun, great audio (even if it is just a repetitive, yet cool beat). When you wrote in your description that it had a mix of Agar.io, I was expecting a cheap rip-off, but instead you give us this, infinitely more original! I applaud you!
Good game!
Good fun. Think if I played it a bit more, could probably start working out different tactics. Music and graphics are good. UI especially, which is no mean feat for a game jam (though a bit too much bounce for my tastes).
My one criticism would be that I can't see too many places for the game to go beyond what is there at the moment. Maybe that doesn't matter, but always nice to think of ways to keep people coming back to the game on a bit longer term basis.
I got to level 5! (and then crashed the game ;P)

Absolutely addicting! One of the best games I played at this LD <3 Great concept, bouncy music, graphics on the spot. Excellent work!

made it to level 5, but I got to a point where the squares took up the entirety of the vertical space so I was unable to move up and down and not left and right(that was on level 5). Menu and UI design is very good and sounds are good too. Overall it was fun to play

fun game! got to level 5 also .. to a size that I couldn't move haha and when I got back from mode Berserker got lots of bombs resulting in an error from LUA (https://snag.gy/NWDTLJ) haha the blue screen could be included in the game too :P
Great work!

Wow that was very funny. I felt very satisfying to collect blocks and grow :D
Very nice job! Works nicely in linux :)
Clean and entertaining with excellent visual and audio cues!

Cool idea, I liked the gameplay! As other have said a bit frustrating to lose so much points if getting hit by a bomb, but otherwise good fun!
great game, good job!
Got to level 5, too, I even got 500 and got so many pieces I was pretty much immobile but then the game kinda said "eh, whatever" and didn't advance me any further (Berserker mode is soo OP). Rather funny concept, but I guess it'd need to be readjusted to make a complete and successful game.
Overall, not bad. Keep it up.
