Built with C# and XNA entirely in Visual Studio. (And the tiniest bit of MS Paint.)

Click (Both left and right click work!) the screen to pull boxes towards your mouse. Try to get as many boxes as you can into the highlighted area. You get points for the boxes that make it and you lose points for those that don't.

Careful, though. Gravity changes every few seconds and the game will gradually get faster and harder.

I clicked like crazy and got pretty far. OK game, but I only got negative score - I guess I sucked at it :)

Interesting game, took some time before I got positive score :P

Best score is -221 :D

Pretty good mechanic, but I couldn't tell if it was getting any harder or if my finger was just getting tired.

This is pretty fun, I haven't seen much like it before. It's a little cruel when gravity points, say, left, and the target area is on the right, because it's very hard to get the squares into the area. That said, it's cool to play, and quite intuitive. Good work.

Pretty good game, but quit challenging, kept getting negative score :/. Did enjoy it, but there were times that gravity was against me, and it got quite annoying!

Interesting idea, but seems super hard, unless there's some technique to the clicking which helps counteract gravity more in some way?

Click click click! I got 1467, but I may have cheated and used both mouse buttons :)

Sorry, everyone! I did forget to mention that both mouse buttons are valid and each work fine! It's definitely a lot easier with each. I'll update the description.

Take a look in the readme if nothing happens when you run it. It's likely because you don't have the XNA Framework or .NET 4.0 installed. I bundled an installer in the ZIP for XNA which you can run if all else fails.

Mechanics need some fine tuning but the concept itself has a lot of potential.

i love the minimalist game art! You could improve the mechanical, the system challenges!

Congrats, yet!
