WASD or Arrow Keys to move. Hold Space or Shift while moving to boost. Its hard to tell you are moving at first, but I will fix that in a post competition update:
You know, at first I thought I was making friends with the other squares, but after a while of them pushing me away and me wearing down their defenses I felt more like a cult leader than a friendly guy, Still, makes you think.
Very interesting experience! I don't know if this was intended, but the abstractnes gives you much room for imagination. Some times I was thinking something silly like "Hey you! Be my friend, BE MY FRIEND!" and other times "Why do you run away from me?". Very philosophic... Thumbs up!
Very enjoyable to play. The music is very relaxing and really helps you get in the mood. It took me some time to understand how to make friends. The physics and the way the other squares move just perfectly match what they're trying to ilustrate. This game really makes you stop and think for a while... Overall 4/5 and 5/5 mood.
A nice concept and great start, but feels like this game could be a lot more. Ending also felt kind of abrupt. That said I love the core mechanic, simple graphics and the audio. Maybe having some texture to the background even if it's just tiny odd pixels might help your feeling of movement issue. Would love to see this expanded upon but good job for 48 hours.
