This is my first entry. It will be great to get your feedback. Thanks for the great time jamming together with Christa, Rex, Martijn, Dick and Roelf!

Great concept. I like the simple graphics and solid gameplay, but the blue square didn't always grow or shrink.

Anyways great job on your first Ludum dare entry. This was also my first entry :).

Not bad for a first entry. It could be fun to have new elements going on as the game last. But I had fun ,good job ;)

I liked the idea you went with, really simple but it can be quite fun!

When gravity is flipped, it seems like the controls are flipped as well. I don't know if this was intentional, but it sure makes the game more difficult :P

The Idea is great. but u need to polish the controls. if the game has a electronic sound and music it could be more fun. thanks a lot

There were some glitches (the blue square growing/shrinking bug as mentioned above, also it stuck in a corner for a few times), but overall it is a fun little game! I particularly liked the change gravity idea.

dlowe15 Dec 2015, 08:17

Fun idea. It wasn't clear whether there were any goals or ways to win/advance the game. And the "change gravity" was really hard to use, because it felt like the controls became reversed. Still, it's an original and fun idea, and thanks for sharing it! :)

A few glitches but rather fun concept :) keep up

Nice game, but a bit hard to understand. Also, the fact that the left/right key invert on gravity shift is surprising.
Cool concept :)

theres nothing to do when you reach maximum size. some kind of win condition would be nice.

Confused at first, but still don't know what's the end. Get bigger and bigger, any goals?

middenkwaaiiauthor15 Dec 2015, 09:44

At the moment the game is endless and pointless. I wasn't sure if it was right to put a timer or highscore in the game ;)

By the way awesome you guys try my game and comment! ^^

Cute little game for 1 minute of fun

Simple game but fun for a while!

Implement some concrete goal and I think you have yourself a solid mini game. Simple, but with purpose.

There is some problems with collisions (my pixel just teleport from one side to another of a violet pixel), but nice realisation !

Damn! These are pretty unconventional controls! And a bit hard too... But the idea and the concept is nice! Very simple graphics, but efficient.

Goed gedaan voor je eerste poging! :) Ben benieuwd naar je volgende game. Vind het leuk om te zien wat een andere Nederlander ervan gebakken heeft bij zijn eerste LD poging. Waren er nog andere games dan deze gemaakt in Arnhem tijdens LD34?

Sometimes i managed to land on top of the blue square, instantly taking me to the maximum size. pretty neat for your first entry.
