Those Walls
===================

The walls are closing in!

Based on the theme, I had an idea of the screen closing in on you... except when you're holding them back!

Family and Christmas decorating obligations ate up most of the weekend, but with a few hours to go I figured I'd throw a quick prototype together. This is about 3 hours worth of coding, so it looks like garbage but was enough to test the idea.

It ends up playing more like a metronome... but it was a good enough test of the concept that I'm glad I gave it a shot.

Nice little game, I found the mechanic really interesting, you could do something very interesting with it!

After reaching 80 points, you can't win :(

Hi there. Like the idea. It has a flaw currently, I think, in that there is a kill everything way of playing, spamming vertical, which just makes it too easy. When screen shrinks to smaller than your character you die anyway... which was a shame. Pity no sound included, BXFR is good...

Really cool, I found it really interesting, espacially those balls erm balloons that gp around the box as it becomes smaller in size!

I really enjoyed the concept. It's a shame that spamming ended up being the best approach. Maybe a good way to avoid that would be some circles that you shouldn't pop?

Really like the idea behind the use of theme. Wish there was a bit more to the gameplay though.

Kind of a clever mechanic. Somehow it doesn't feel like an entire game, though. Well, you probably know what I mean...for 3 hours of coding, it's pretty good!

Fun, interesting game. You should be able to rotate minutely, and I think the balls should have varying speeds. I got 90 points from spamming vertical.

Setting the arms to vertical position and spamming the attack button made the game too easy, it's an interesting concept.
