Had a fun time squeezing a busy weekend around this LD. As with many people, lots not implemented and lots of glitches but that's the way it goes. I will sort out the source and a mobile version when I have recovered. Thanks in advance if you give the game a go!

The Game -------- The <<Forgetful>> Little Square has got his memory back for a 2D gravity (meh) based platformer with a defend-the-tower twist.
Time moves quickly in the world of The Little Square: - 1 day = 10 seconds - 1 week = 1 day - 6 days = 1 year
The Circle Clan are invading via portals so blast the hell out of them. Destroy the portals, defend the bases, kill them all!
Base 2 spawns on day 2 (Base 2 spawns on the underside of the island) Base 3 spawns on day 4 (Base 3 spawns on the other island) Portal 2 spawns on day 3
Controls -------- A - Left D - Right Space - Jump (you can double jump by pressing Space in the air) Mouse - aim Click - shoot
Issues ----------------- It is possible to double-jump off the islands into space and the game to carry on. Enemy collisions sometimes glitch Still using the concept gravity and player rotation system I created at the beginning. Never managed to fit in an update to this. More message updates needed Portal spawning mobs sometimes glitch Difficulty/health/damage etc needs tweaking a lot!!
TODO's ------ SORT OUT SOURCE Third base spawns but is not active Third portal doesn't spawn Missing base status info on screen Missing minimap Repair bases not implemented Game doesn't really end in a year like I suggest on the start screen
It was fun, crazy. When I went underground it was a bit tough to control with xy flipped. Then the game just kinda stopped? Good fun! Not sure if I am misisng something.
@Blue Steel Sorry dude, it is not very accessible - bad game design on that part.
@Kwrky It is possible to double jump off an island into space and for the game to carry on until the bases are destroyed. Also, sometimes the enemy spawns get stuck, and when one gets stuck - they all do!
It was fun for a bit. But after already suffering a hand injury, these games that require you to click per shot or hit a keyboard key per shot are very tiring.
Very fun! Loved the approach you gave to the theme, and the gravity. The controls and key dispositions could be less complicated. But I guess they will be configurable when you release the second version :) Also please make the square shoot keeping the button pressed.

All working again now though.
