The goal of Grid Ten is to protect the green dot from the cyan and redish/purplish ones.
You can select junctions and then add objects that force the cyan dots to move in specific directions, and you can also add blocks that destroy cyan dots instantly.
You get points every 10 seconds. These points are both your score and a type of currency for being able to place objects on the grid.
There are also more things in the game (behind the scenes) that relate to 10 or 10 seconds -- like that the grid is 10x10.
The rest of the instructions are on the game's webpage.
Only tested on Chrome 29 and FF (22 and 25.0a2).
* Known Issues: - sounds occasionally get louder the more often they are played, and so audio is muted by default. - If you have something like vimperator installed as a browser plugin, you might run into some issues with keys not being capture correctly - (FIXED) Apparently the arrows stick around between resets. This is not intentional, and a bug
I found the gameplay really hard to get a handle on at first. (One issue is that the instructions for what keys to use for each object are currently wrong.) The mechanics is not very intuitive, and a tutorial would do great here. But once I got into it, it was kind of a fun little tower defense. I got to around 300 points. It was helpful that I spawned so close to the edge. I think it would have been much harder in the center.
Nice puzzle. The difficulty of the game depends on where you start. If you are near the edge the game is ridiculously easy while being in the middle is quite a challenge.
I really like this game, it felt like a very interesting challenge. I thought the mood could be improved such as some ambient music and softer sound effects. A few simple graphical effects might be nice. Overall a really pleasant experience. Great job.
Cool idea. It felt like the arrows should disappear between scoring intervals. The game became really easy the further I got into it. I could see this being expanded in some fun ways with different types of traps and different colored dots that require different strategies. Good job!
This is a neat idea that has great potential! I agree with others who said it can become too easy when you figure out whats going on. One suggestion I can think of is have a fast forward option.
Interesting gameplay in this one. I found it a bit complicated to figure out what was going on at first, but then everything went buttersmooth ;) Pretty simple once you grasped the mechanics :)
If you can fix so that spamming the borders with a great wall is not a winning move, add some music, throw in some extra variation, then you have a nice fun little game on your hands =)
Interesting, reminiscent of ChuChu Rocket mechanically. Found it was very sedate to start with then quite sharply the number of enemies became overwhelming. I would have enjoyed a faster pace to the early stages and a smoother transition to the harder stages. Quite basic in appearance but a solid effort :)

On firefox If you restart the game older arrow sprites keep on stage
