I seem to have gotten stuck after pressing number 8 on the question screen.
A very solid game! It has a clear mechanic that works well and a good number of levels. A great achievement for 48 hours.
Very nice idea and clean execution. Maybe the blocks should be locked to two dimensions so they're easier to position.
Very interesting twist on the gameplay, but I found that you can't really control the ball well enough to do anything about the descending blocks.
For those still searching for the secret ending - you can't miss it. Meaning, it's always available after the normal ending, until you exit the game.
I do have plans to expand the game, mostly in the story direction and to have more things unlock with time and to give the player control over how each zone is used.
This reminds me of an old game called Skyroad. The music was really good.
I must say, everything is right about this game. Even the sound kinda fits the mood.
I really like the control scheme. Totally minimalistic and totally works.
Wow, never expected to see a management type game in LD. Nice job!
Very unique. Took me a while to figure out what everything meant, but in the end this seems to simulate resource flows. So you need to figure out a way to take in as much as possible without creating bottlenecks. This could have alot of potential.
For always saying that you "don't art", you sure have a good sense of what ends up looking good. And your sound effects are awesome!
