Objective:

Navigate the cube around the level. Smush all enemies with the cube and then head to the exit.

Player touches a wall. You lose.
Cube touches a wall. You lose.
Cube smushes the player. You lose.
Turret shoots the player. You lose.

I'm not even going to try and add a story around this. You're a 'jug-galo' with a magnet, in the desert, in an office, there's turrets in the office. I don't know.

Mouse Wheel: Zoom in/out
Mouse RMB + Drag: Pan camera

Player

Pretty fun and interesting concept, fits well with the theme. Dying for colliding in the wall seemed pretty harsh though

Awesome, game. The player having to avoid hitting the wall was just frustrating deaths.

Nice idea, a good puzzle-like challenge. I agree with the others though the wall-death is a bit harsh. :-)

Dying when you hit the walls does seem harsh but it actually makes this a proper challenge. Loved the humour :)

Great idea, great execution, clever game/level titles. :)
Frustrating wall deaths, but hexagore's probably right that it makes it a much better challenge. Still probably found them more frustrating than fun, though.

Nice idea, but why do I die when I hit a wall. Then it takes forever to get back to playing :/ could have been done better I thought.

LOL, had a blast playing it once I understood how to place the magnet. I wish I could smash walls as well, not sure yet why those are deadly. Other than that, it's a very good game you got there. Congratulations!

i liked the idea, but kept dying by bumping into a wall. sorry but ragequit :/

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll certainly be taking the 'die if you touch the wall' mechanic out for a post-jam version

Great idea I liked it. I failed to see the point about dying in the walls though, but apart from that I liked the game. It got fairly challenging as you moved on. Well done.

Great concept, had some problems with moving the camera (esp when cursor went out of browser) Otherwise good fun

The design is neat, I liked it. Wall that kill are surprising at first.

Kinda hard, definitely funny. Nice music, I like the voxel-based models too!

Cool idea, though the magnetism didn't behave at all like what I was expecting.

It would be nice with a way to pause the game and a way to return to the main menu without suiciding.
