Block Brigade is a simple shooter - how many waves will you last? Use the mouse to aim, and click (and hold) to fire bullets! Avoid other bullets at all costs, and destroy all enemies. If you touch a block that is the same color as you, he will become your buddy and shoot with you!
Press space to place a bomb (because all good games have bombs!) and view the top-of-the-line particle system while playing!

The first 15 hours of the Ludum Dare I wasted on a failed game idea, so this game was slowly made the rest of the compo time. I'm not extremely happy with the result, but hey, it's hard and fun, and I learned a lot about Dartlang while I was at it!
!!!Download Notes!!!
You can play the web version of the game or download the game to your computer and play it on a web browser without the internet (as you will have the files on your computer if you downloaded them). The best recommended way to play this game is by clicking on the Web link above!
This game gets really challenging. I would've liked it a little bit more with tank controls instead of world, but that's all about preference. Great job and keep it up! :)
although the graphics were lacking, this is still a solid game. it gets extremely challenging later on when there are a lot of enemies onscreen. i never seemed to figure out what the pink squares do though, extra lives? helpers? either way, good job :)
Really cool! What was fun was watching your allies piling up on you and somewhat defending you at the same time! What was not fun was it did not have health packs, and everytime you placed a bomb, the screen went down as well. Cool still, and good luck! :D
The game was fun, but pretty simple. It was already pretty difficult to hit the enemies since their hitboxes were so tiny, and adding more enemies just made it a slaughter. Maybe the enemies could have larger hitboxes, or grow and shrink to make timing your shots more strategic and not just shooting fish in a barrel (very difficult by the way!).
Some extra tips:
1.) You could have easily made the embed LD offered as a place to put the game directly so people don't have to do to a new page. We did, it's awesome!
2) When clicking to shoot the browser would start highlighting the page since you didn't disable click actions from propagating. You could use a combination of CSS for "user-select" and onselectstart hooks for IE.
Graphics are to-the-point, I like them. The sound effects seemed to have a little delay on them for me, but other than that this is a really addicting game! Really could use some music and maybe even health bars.
Really cool game, I think I was pretty bad at it though, only got to wave 6.
You should try out velocity prediction with regards to the bullet fire, that'd be a cool extra for things like this. But the core game works well, enjoyable. Works both as a sort of.. dodging simulator and an attacking game. Nice one.

Otherwise it is not a very original game, and it lacks sounds and graphics.
the thing with the purple blocks was a great idea.

Can't seem to make it past wave 11.
