My best score is 12800.
I liked how the challenge escalated. At first I could keep up with the game, but the situation slowly got out of control. In the end some squares on the edges became unreachable.
I can't see myself playing for too long though because the game requires constant focus. Maybe you could add some breathers like choosing upgrades or using a powerup to clear the screen.
Very difficult but novel experience, agree with the other comment that some breaks in the focus would be good! Certainly a cool concept.
Really challenging but unique experience! I agree that having a few breaks to refocus would make it even better. Overall, a really interesting concept with lots of potential !
Cool puzzle game, where you have to merge groups of sectors of same color.
Quite challenging because sometimes, some new sectors will spawn in the middle of merging.
I like the windows 95 graphics. Is the disk per chance a floppy disk ?
Good game overall.
Fun little puzzle game! The controls aren't really my cup of tea, tho. Maybe alternative keyboard control schemes could be considered? I also encountered situations where squares spawned on their own and got stuck behind holes, which was frustrating since there we don't really have any agency to fix this. Otherwise, a cool game with a fun concept!
The game is fun and well made, maybe put also the arrow key to play it could be good.
Fun game, i didn't understand the first run (even with the How to Play), after understanding the game is really good and fun.
The game music is a little repetitive I didn't understand how corruption works and how to stop it. Other than blocks being blocked behind corruption, i didn't find another bug.
I played for a bit, and this is good work. The controls and the objective are very intuitive and easy to understand. However, the controls themselves feel a little awkward. I have to concentrate quite a bit just to move the cubes around. I feel like it would be more comfortable if I could just click and drag with the mouse along an axis.
Pretty good, had a bit of fun. As others have said, an arrow keys/wasd control scheme would've been appreciated, but it's quite nice overrall. It's a shame for the AI capsule art but it is what it is.
Wow! I absolutely loved the concept of your game! It was genuinely fun to play, and I thought it was a really original idea for a minigame.
One thing I thought could have been interesting would be some way to recover failed slots, perhaps by losing points in exchange for freeing up space for new data to pass through. Alternatively, the data could simply start coming faster and faster as the game progresses. Of course, I can see how the first option might make the game go on forever if not balanced properly!
In any case, I really enjoyed it. It's quick to understand, straight to the point, and I think you've done a great job incorporating the theme. The whole thing reminded me of old Windows 98-era software, which I absolutely loved!
Really original idea, great job!
Very difficult but novel experience, agree with the other comment that some breaks in the focus would be good
Thank you all for the feedback, it's all been taken into account. I plan to release an update after the jam to improve the game based on your feedback. Thank you!
Cool and original concept, so much hard drive dying 😭 Good mood, reminds me another decade of computing
Like other comment it's always easily readable to see that a block will disapear when already covered
Anyway cool game 👍
Awesome work! Really enjoyed the gameplay and the creative presentation. Left full ratings across the board! Greetings from the Meow Bomb team, feel free to drop by our page if you're looking for more entries to rate!
Really interesting game! I like how challenging it is and how much concentration it demands. It's definitely not the kind of game where you can just relax and switch your brain off, which makes the concept pretty unique. I do think having a few short breaks between the more intense moments would make the experience a bit more comfortable, because it can get overwhelming. But overall, there's a lot of potential here, and I appreciate seeing something different from the usual game jam entries. Nice work!
Great concept! Deceptively simple game that gets hectic rather quickly. You've captured the vibes of older computers very well here. Another +1 here to some way to maybe have like a few second breather here and there would be nice. Or maybe some powerups, like being able to move the block with your arrow/WASD keys for a time to try make up some lost ground later in the run?
I do really like this one, though!
