Simple but clever design.

anjack29 Apr 2013, 14:26

I love the level transition effect!

Fun game that definitely fits the theme!

triforcespark29 Apr 2013, 15:21

Nice combination of gameplay, effects, music, and theme.

cmayhem29 Apr 2013, 15:35

I really like how the green blocks turn red, it adds a bit of strategy into the mix. Great!

acatcalledfrank29 Apr 2013, 16:19

Clever game mechanic. I like the way it gets harder as you get nearer completion.

mushbuh29 Apr 2013, 18:33

Fits the theme, pretty interesting for a quick game

howieV (binarygirl)author29 Apr 2013, 22:44

cheers guys.. i really didn't expect anyone to like it heh :)

hgouveia29 Apr 2013, 23:01

Cool game, gets complex after a while

ataxkt29 Apr 2013, 23:02

Really fitting, simple and elegant. Good job and good luck!

Milktoast29 Apr 2013, 23:03

A good bit of strategy here for such a minimalistic game.

RobotLovesKitty30 Apr 2013, 00:10

The audio and 'feel' of the game made it awesome :D

wolfadex30 Apr 2013, 00:13

I was unable to download or play the web version, hopefully you can get it fixed so more people can play it.

howieV (binarygirl)author30 Apr 2013, 00:15

really ? all links just point to the same java applet.. this should work on all platforms with java installed i hope.. what are you running OS wise ?

Dax30 Apr 2013, 00:21

Is there an end or they keep coming each time with more friends?

Jim Haslett30 Apr 2013, 00:41

I like this game. It really fits the theme well. One suggestion I would offer is that you give a grace period after taking damage, or have knockback effect to get you out of the red square. Once it gets crazy, it was hard to see which red square I was in.

VictorGrunn30 Apr 2013, 00:43

Excellent game. Fits the theme of the compo perfectly in my opinion. Actually challenging, the difficulty ramped up nicely, easy to learn without instruction. Good job!

howieV (binarygirl)author30 Apr 2013, 00:47

@dax.. it should go on forever (or till highest int value heh..or the computer blows up from the amount of squares on the screen ;p)

@jim ..thats a good idea actually :) also the idea is NOT to be in a red square ;p

Dark Acre Jack30 Apr 2013, 00:48

A perfect game. Excellent work.

This is one of the few games so far that has gotten a "Mood" rating from me. The sudden change in colour and particle effect that starts when you hit a red square is golden.

The game itself is fast paced and fun.

tankete30 Apr 2013, 07:45

Similar to @wolfadex, I can't connect to the game. I get a not found error. Weird. :(

howieV (binarygirl)author30 Apr 2013, 11:28

ive added an applet download link now for those few that cant seem to run it online.. try this offline version.. just double click the html file to run..cheers :)

free_napalm30 Apr 2013, 13:48

Fits the theme perfectly.

Martin_Monosys30 Apr 2013, 23:30

Very good! Simple, clever and fun! :)

Switchbreak30 Apr 2013, 23:56

Really fun, really simple, the good kind of minimalism. Not as difficult as you warn, I'm really glad you put a health bar in instead of making it instant death. Maybe could be cooler with a score or a more prominent level counter to compare with other people.

howieV (binarygirl)author1 May 2013, 12:54

@switchbreak.. i did toy with idea of score and a bigger level counter.. i kept trying to stop myself putting more things in.. i wanted to leave the level counter out all together at one point but thought if i did people would have wanted it hehe to i just made it not too prominent .. maybe i should add the score and make it more obvious what level you are on for a post version :)

HelkeGames2 May 2013, 19:59

Nice game, very minimalist :)

stqn2 May 2013, 22:41

Is this java? Can you make a .jar?

playvue2 May 2013, 22:47

FYI, the web link is broken. =(

Thijsku2 May 2013, 22:58

Nice little game. It's kinda hard later on, but still is a fun game!

howieV (binarygirl)author3 May 2013, 15:09

@stqn ..ya its java.. cant u just play via the web link ? (why do you need me to make a jar ?)

@playvue i just tried the link ..it seems fine.. it stays white for about 7seconds as i didnt have time to make a 'loading' screen ..but it should come up after that

Yakka4 May 2013, 10:39

Simple game but it works very well :)

filtoid5 May 2013, 13:43

This fits the theme perfectly - and a great game :) very fun and good difficulty curve
