Unsquished

Unsquished!

You are Red, a boxer mysteriously trapped in the Limited Space, a limbo zone where the walls of existence are constantly closing in, and the only way to survive is to fight back. As you punch back time after time, you notice your body ascending, and you feel the powers of the Limited Space weakening as you reach higher altitudes. You wonder if escape is possible...

Instructions

- Survive as long as you can in an ever-limiting space by punching the walls back. Game over if you get squished between 2 walls. Survive long enough and you just might win.
- Avoid traps! Spikes and lasers will spawn around your character. Getting hit by them will stun you for a moment.
- Don't hit the metal walls! They won't move, so strategize to avoid them from squishing you.

Tips

- You can punch 2 walls at the same time if you move diagonally and punch at the corners! However, each wall will be punched back by half as much.
- After ascending to the Stratosphere, the metal wall will appear and change to a new random wall about every 3 seconds.
- The SPACE special will clear all traps on the screen as well as temporarily disabling the metal wall!

Scoring

- +1 point for each 1% of the song you play through
- -1 point for each time you get hit by a trap
- +10 points for each leftover SPACE (only if you reach the end)
- Perfect score: 100 - 0 + 10 * 3 = 130

Known ~~Bugs~~ Features
