I like the weighty feel to the player character and the visuals of the path line behind the player! Definitely makes the game feel way more substantial having that effect vs. just plane cubes.

The music is also interesting in this weird way, and the combination of the ever increasing UI size and the off-breat music makes this game sort of unnerving.

I feel like this game could be a lot of fun with playtesting and polish, the blocks exploding in a sort of cellular way makes me feel like there could be really interesting enemies and intense fights with these mechanics.

Funniest game ever!!!!

Very nice game, excellent usage of music. Nice addition that the music changes the further you go as well.

One thing I don't really like is how blocks can spawn _right next to you_ (not green ones), killing you instantly. I had this a lot at the start of the game but after I survived to ~20 points it didn't seem to happen again.

The AI is nice, concept creative, very fun game overall!

The green enemy spawns right on top of the player after 5 seconds even if I move. That makes the game unplayable for longer that 5 seconds.

i love the audio :smiley: but it needs bit of graphical and gameplay upgrades

I love this game! Good feels of control , suspenseful audio , moderate difficulty . I really like it.

It's not very fun to play, but it's very goofy, which kinda makes up for it. You should check for proximity to player, when spawning an object, though. I's frustrating, when boxes just spawn on top of you and you instantly lose

The game is juicy for its genre. i can't survive long enought to hear more than 10 secondes of the music shift.

I tryied to build a big chunk of blue box in the middle, so you just have to circle it and the purple bad guys will crash on it so no need to aim. can save your focus on dodging the reds and green

In first, you think it's a easy game, control are cool but player movement are really hard to mastery. Also sometimes, you can have a block which spawn on you. Nevertheless, your particle are cool ! I would love to see this game with a better assets, the idea is great!

I really like the game. It is quite simple but still fun to play. Good work on the audio :)

It could be fun, but the random spawns are frustrating. You should maybe exclude a certain radius around the player and around where he is heading so you can see them before they kill you. Also the danger bar hides a part of the field. The green blocks are a good way to keep the player moving, and deal with it's inertia to not crash into walls and enemies.

It is fun to play. I think we should have some warning of cells, especially the green one (sometimes you don't know why you die, for example, during first few try I didn't know I can move and always die without knowing the reason).

The game is good maybe a little too fast. The art of the game needs a bit of differentiation if you are not good at decorating colors.

It was really hard to control. Since you slid to a stop based on your speed, you could build up a lot of momentum. I couldn't seem to shoot while I was moving at all, which made the game very tough. If I did manage to slow down and shoot someone, I'd probably end up with a green box spawning on top of me because I lingered there too long.

A short little burst of fun. A few small nitpicks first: I wish the green ones didn't spawn on top of you when you're sitting still, the "danger" meter blocking part of the play area was annoying, and I accidentally clicked the exit button as soon as I died because I was shooting, which was annoying. Besides that, everything was pretty okay. Just an okay game.
