Easy
Its way to easy, and the powerups are really useless because the side speed stays the same seems like. Its the same gameplay even though you have the little customization. But this could make a fun game if there were bigger sqares against you and that they dont overlap eachother and you wouldnt be able to go through the squares.
Yes its easy but its actually really hard to make it hard, lol. The speed of the squares coming down do actually increase over time. I might adopt on your idea of having bigger squares. Thanks for your suggestions.
Kinda cool...
I still cant figure out what the + and - powerups did. The special was at least useful... but half the time if you were pressing down a direction the S key wouldn't even work.
Interesting concept; could do with a lot more, though.
Haha, the +/-'s are to increase and decrease the speed of the player. I thought it would be cool for players to figure it out by themselves like you had to in the earlier games.

Gorgeous design, hi NRG music. It's good, no question. I particularly liked that there was an element of tactics in that you could use the pushers to get
powerups before they got close to the bottom, but it was risky. I would have liked a screen which explained the various powerups. I did figure out that S was super, but what were +/-? Also, I know you're aiming to keep it simple, so these may not fit, but if you were considering making a more complex version, I should think that other powerdowns and powerups would go a long way to making this game more fun for a longer time.
Suggestions for powerup/down: (the main character is referred to as "guy," the baddies are "boxes"
Guy shrinker/enlarger
Box speedup/ slowdown (I guess maybe that's what the +/- were already?)
CPU controlled buddies that guy could draft behind
Box direction changer/controls reverse
I would say some way of destroying boxes for points, but that might change the whole flavor of the game, which is sort of a battle against the unstoppable tide.
Thanks for your comments. Maybe they will show up in the next installment. The +/-'s are to increase and decrease the speed of the player. You had it right. I like the 'guy' growing and shrinking in size idea and I've had the different direction thing in my head for a while now.
Pretty good.
Posotives
- pretty addictive
- customization
- good game to play if you've only got five minutes
Negotives
- Simple gameplay
- Even on insane, the game is easy
- Powerups dont really matter because of the lack of challenge.
Thank you for your review. I'll have to work on the difficulty part a little.
nice game
you should try a powerup that lets you shoot them by pressing the space bar or something like that
like in super break out
I think shooting might detract from the original idea of the game but thanks for your suggestion.
