So this is my entry I wish I had more time to work on it for the Dare but oh well its playable, looks meh, and just might as well be an entry I will keep working on it though so yeah

The goal of the game is to put the little box that follows you into the other little box. But there's a catch, you have got to do it in ten seconds.

Controls: W,S,A,D, E-Pickup Box (And a secret little key to win)

Have fun!

I couldn't quite get the boxes to line up and I would switch 'e' to maybe space or something, but like the aesthetics and it's a neat little game :D

eh... wasn't really fun, but I enjoyed the graphics and audio, and the theme fit nicely :D

If you get the time to update with a fix, I'd switch E to something else - it takes away one of my WASD fingers and then I can't really move :(

Great idea for a game, but couldn't get the boxes to line up right. And maybe try mapping the e key to another one.

The controls are imperfect. It's difficult to pick up the boxes. They boxes don't kite well either.

@nikkesen The game is supposed to be almost unbeatable.. but you are right the controls should be something else.

Kinda frustrating, could not beat it at all.

Nice idea~ Like others've said there're things with the controls and feel/mechanics of the game, but these things can be ironed out post-LD if you wish! The idea's the important part ;) Nice work!

Thanks Meep, yeah I am continuing development, its being posted on Gamejolt :)

The box doesn't actually follow me, but shows up next to me every time I press E again..
Hope you have better luck with time on the next Dare :]

I eventually got the small box to be flush with the other small box but it didn't trigger any win state when the timer ended. Neat little idea and and a very basic usage of the theme. Cool!

@Ossi, since I was in a rush, I just programmed it to be if(boxX == playerX && boxY == playerY){
win();
}
