I love the movement and the visuals in this game. The movement reminds me of the strafe oriented movement from Valve games :D Thumbs up.

Awesome experience! Seems like there was an optimal strategy to just run along the blocks on the base and that would get you a pretty good time. Cool feature with the high score!

@phantomopenboxing Because it is very close to being that movement! I adapted the Quake movement script which is also what some Valve games did

iloveyourface 2018-08-14 01:22

@roy-berardo That will get you a good time, but not the BEST time :smile:

@iloveyourface hahahah very true!!

Fun game, with an original take on the theme to boot ! The first tries are a bit awkward, as readability is sometimes an issue, but it gets a lot funnier when you start to understand what to do ! The HighScores windows is a nice touch. From a technical standpoint, I would not be angry with a standalone executable instead of an HTML only version, but that's a quirk of mine. Great job guys !

@jlv Just uploaded an exe version

Didn't understand the game at first, but as I got better with the controls it was a dream to play, the neon look to the game was very appealing but also a tad distracting. Controls feel nice but the mouse controls on WebGL were quite difficult. Links to theme well. Amazing job!

my feedback: :o: the graphics are so good :o: you can play on browser :o: colors and style is very good :x: it's a bit difficult to see the world :x: sound are loud :x: it's so big on the site

Fantastic game! Definitely not the fastest method it seems, but I managed to get 0 cubes left, so I'm counting it as a win lol.

Really like the way the blocks fade in as you're running. And the high scores is an awesome feature!

Only gripe I have is no full screen mode. Whenever I died, I'd have to sort of re-calibrate my mouse, or else it would move off the game window and I'd lose the ability to move.

Overall really fun!

Great concept! I found the difficulty to be pretty hard and only sort of got the hang of it after a few tries, but love how glowy and stylized the visuals are, as well as the overall level of polish on the game. Nicely done :)

Great gmae, Like both the visuals and gameplay

I enjoyed this, but after several rounds, I still don't know that I understood what I was supposed to be doing (edit: ok, re-read description, tried again, all good now).

Lovely visuals, great audio. Just feels good to control, but I think movement could be a liiiiitle bit perkier; felt just a little slow moving around. Had to shrink the game to fit my fullscreened browser window (lot of Unity games this time around have this issue...). I hope you get enough ratings to rank; fighting that myself here in the last couple days. Hope you've had a great LD!

the web version didn't worked on my side :(

ohmmus 2018-09-03 02:13

I had a lot of fun1 Great job! Not a lot of feedback from me: I would probably add something like a "fullscreen" button though, in-game... I have to zoom out my browser a bit before I could see the entire menu.

If you download it, its just the best game of this jam

iloveyourface 2018-09-04 12:42

@alexfalkenberg Itch.io is supposed to automatically scale the window but it doesn't seem to want to do that :/ Regarding the movement, I think if I scaled up the cubes a bit more and increased the movement speed it might actually be more fun. But I feel the movement speed with current cube size is just right.

And I feel ya with the ratings. I never make enough time to give out ratings while studying. Good luck!
