Simple game where you are orange box, whos main task is to catch white boxes.

After catching one, every ten seconds more and more enemies will come to the field, so survive as long as you can. The more sets of 10 seconds you can survive, the higher the score multiplication for picking up cubes will go.

The Hunter eye sight is not so good, so remember use his poor aim to your advantage at a distance.

Unfortunately I simply just ran out of time to work on more advanced gameplay involving hiding as well :< But for my second LD entry, not so bad.

Controls:

WASD / Arrows Keys / Gamepad left Analog stick - To Move Around
Space / Button 0 - Jumping

Created in Unity 3D,
Used BFXR for sound effects

Neat little game! One of those games that you don't need a tutorial for - it's all straightforward. Cool!

Would have liked screen rotate or slightly less of an angle(more downward)?

It was difficult to catch the little white boxes!

Nice idea!

It's a shame that you couldn't add hiding. Right now you're simply overwhelmed by brown boxes (dogs?) after a few rounds.

@Endurion you can thin the dogs by making the hunters shoot you :) but this was supposed to be so that you take the risk of taking on the dogs to catch the white boxes or hide to score up, but since I couldnt implement hiding, the score stays after you die.

Feels like a wolf hunting sheep. In this case, the wolf is clearly on the acids. :D

Really nice idea! Even though everything are just boxes you really get the sense of the "hunt" in the game. Great job with the controls, it feels rather nice running around and jumping to avoid the dogs and hunters.

Fun, had a bunch of dogs chasing me before i got killed off :P. Nice start, though rabbits were a bit too hard to chase down.

Fun little game, a little frenetic to control but I guess that's sort of the point. Should make a little more force feedback when you get hurt, like with a red overlay or a more prominent sound effect... I wasn't aware that I had health for a good part of the game

Splendid idea :) forces you to use imagination - personally i thought about wolf and dog and a bunch of sheeps cartoon from warner bros. good AI.
