The gameboard shrinks as you move -- that is, you're literally running out of space -- and there's a time limit in play to boot. Stay on top by picking up powerups!
Here's what I like about this game:
- It's fast and frenetic. You can't stop playing, or else you lose.
- You need actual skill to progress. Simply moving around will result in a game over in seconds.
- The scale effect is very effective in telling you how big the board is, without any other kind of indicator
- The powerups move with the board as you play.
I'm very happy with the result, especially given that for the first day I was working on a different concept entirely. Hope you like it too!
If you play this game, _please_ provide some feedback. Ideally, let me know the _one thing_ that you'd like to see that would make the game more enjoyable to play.
