Nice game! Controls felt very nice, and it is a very simple concept that is cleverly done! Highscore was 10k Points for me :v:

Very well done. This game can be very strategic if played right. The music though is annoying and enemies often spawn inside the player but for the most part this was a perfect experience.

@machnikl @wet-band-aid Thank you for the comments and advice!

mikdionio 2020-04-20 15:12

@wet-band-aid agreed the music is a bit irritating especially if you play for a long time. Another suggestion I could give is give some indicator of where the enemies will come out next so players can position themselves accordingly.

Fun little and unique game with a very nice art style.

Cool Game ! Gameplay reminds me of the end of the SuperHot game.

Audio was a bit annoying, but i liked the concept. I think it needs a bit more for its goal though.

lukein 2020-04-20 17:25

Very well executed, although I think it would benefit from more enemy variety more quickly.

johnjoemcbob 2020-04-20 17:31

Interesting concept! I like the glowy art a lot :)

entitynull 2020-04-20 18:13

Simple but great! Only nitpick I have is that the bloom is ever so slightly overdone, but that's because I pay too much attention to those things.

adam-clayden 2020-04-20 19:42

Nice game! I like the graphics and the squeezing of the character. Quite cool mechanics as well using the enemies against them! The audio reminded me of the NES or an old arcade game

beavergames 2020-04-20 23:40

Its really good, but i just thought it needed a little more content.

dryden 2020-04-21 01:29

Nice fun and polished game. Looks beautiful aswell.

taran-unraveler 2020-04-21 09:12

Nice concept. The mechanic is clear and well implemented. Didn't found any bug and the game il quite pretty. A light touch of post processing makes the game really nice. Well done!

spidamoo 2020-04-21 13:27

Neon is always good. Simple gameplay is always good. Enemies killing you while being outside the screen border is always bad :)

randomhuman 2020-04-21 14:51

I didn't like the music, but aside from that this a very enjoyable game - a simple concept well executed, with just enough visual flair to make it interesting. Nicely done!

magus77 2020-04-21 21:38

i want this on my mobile <3 it lacked music but it was great fun and i like the graphic 'glowiness' (is that a word?) the conntrolling is smooth and intiutive. good game !

geryon-games 2020-04-21 21:39

@magus77 If u click the little speaker at the bottom, the music will toggle on. It may annoy you tho :p.

somethang123 2020-04-21 21:40

Really cool concept! I felt unstoppable when I was controlling the enemies and it feels really good when you kill an enemy, good job!

kgeib 2020-04-21 21:45

Simple and addictive game, so fun, good job!!

magus77 2020-04-21 21:59

@geryon-games aha i totally missed that :-s i tried it with music but it doesn't realy fit the game i think? Maybe a bit more pumping rythm would be better? i dunno, should try some different ones out to feel if it fits it better. Still, i improved the rating just because there IS music and i missed it the first time around :p

ithildin 2020-04-21 23:05

Mechanics are simple, but surviving requires a bit more thought than just dashing blindly. When I realised the game immediately became more fun, I really liked that!

Not sure if at one point the dashing bugged, because the main cube started to attempt dashing outside of the game view even if I was tapping on the center. I couldn't reproduce it in the next playthroughs though.

Other than that, I liked the music loop and graphics were nice. Good job!

jake-marks 2020-04-22 04:23

When those screwballs start dodging my dash attacks... there was a bit of rage.

Nice graphics. Interesting game play mechanics. Well done!

edalbung 2020-04-23 09:58

Simple but efficient concept ! I liked a lot how the Cube move and hit with the red cubes, it was so smooth !

Moveover, the feedback sounds are nice, however I think that the music doesn't fit with the gameplay, I would have imagine a more punchier music.

Overall nice work !

giulia 2020-04-23 19:50

Interesting idea and nice glow effect. Sometimes the cube goes out of sight and you lose the control of it, but overall I find this game fun and engaging. Good job!

Simple but well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/U94ABx1ev3Y
