It reminds me of the minecraft game sploof, knocking blocks out from under your opponents! I left the game on the title screen for a moment and I got a game over screen, maybe try spawning in the player after the title screen is completed?

Love the soundtrack :)

Interesting game, I used to play games like this back in the day. Btw just a small notice, the arrow keys (left and right) are reversed for some reason? It works fine with WASD keys

I had some trouble with fighting. Somehow I coun't beat the enemies and always lost, so I ended up running away as long as I could ^^

Apart from that the game plays nice and looks good. Good job!

This game is SO HARD :D I couldn't get a score much past 250, still fun though

nanda-sbr 2021-10-06 13:55

Good soundtrack, but the game is really hard. Nice work !

disgraceful-disjoint 2021-10-06 15:03

@nikl Thanks for the feedback. Attack is on LMB + face the enemy.

disgraceful-disjoint 2021-10-06 15:05

@zet Thanks for the feedback and finding the bug)

disgraceful-disjoint 2021-10-06 15:06

@misfire-dev Thanks. It's an arcade game, so don't stress to much about difficulty

disgraceful-disjoint 2021-10-06 15:09

@nanda-sbr Thanks for the review. Yeah, the game ain't easy.

disgraceful-disjoint 2021-10-06 15:11

@cottontshirtz Thanks for the feedback and suggestion.

Nice idea and use of the theme! As an arcade game, it works quite well and doesn't feel unfair. It was a bit laggy while played in my browser though, but nothing too serious.

Very solid entry! Loved the 3d graphics, definately elevated the game as a whole. Only faults are that I didn't actually realise that you can attack the enemies until I read another comment. (stupid me) Also, I found the fact that the enemies could fly rather annoying, as it meant that they had a massive advantage.

domin77 2021-10-06 17:11

Pretty good idea, it would be interesting if the enemies could fall too :smile:. Good job.

raysi 2021-10-06 17:41

@der-mondhase, Thanks for the review. Yeah, webGL is laggy unlike PC version.

raysi 2021-10-06 17:42

@fonkin , Thanks for the review. Should've put control hintsor tutorial. That might've help

raysi 2021-10-06 17:42

@domin77 , Thanks. That's the hardcore part of the game :)

Sounds nice and makes fun to play. But I always die. Guess I'm too bad. ^^

disgraceful-disjoint 2021-10-07 10:11

@chillertyp Thanks. It's an arcade game, so death is inevitable

skleembof 2021-10-07 17:09

Very fun gameplay. The concept feels like a mario party minigame. It is pretty hard though, especially since you can't really see which blocks are about to fall so its easy to get yourself stuck on an island.

I think it would be better if the tiles would have some visual indication of how close they are to falling. Like fading to black or something so you know what areas to avoid. Alternatively, you could add a small jump to help the player when they get stuck on an island. Just a small jump that lets them pass a single row of blocks would be enough

raysi 2021-10-08 09:47

@skleembof Thanks for your review, will consider your ideas for improvements

alexthehuman2 2021-10-09 20:24

The game itself has an interesting concept, although it could use some power ups for the player so for example, like featherfeet that wouldn't trigger the blocks for a certain amount of time, or maybe you become invulnerable for a hit, or repair all the platform once. It's just there's a lot of potential in that game, but good job on making it bug free! Kudos to that, well done!

fireslash 2021-10-16 22:17

Interesting idea.

Feels like it needs another mechanic or two to really sell it though. Enemies don't seem to fall into pits which takes away a lot of the interesting mechanics around the movement. I also wish I could jump over small gaps.

Presentation is nice and seems to work as intended.

shea-kelly 2021-10-21 07:44

I think I'm better then the average player :) lol nice game though
