Closing In

Hey! To start this decade right, we believe Newgrounds should be ad-free for EVERYONE. For this to work, we need people who have the means to become paying supporters. For just $3 per month or $25 for the year, you can help this happen and get some nice perks!

For the month of March we have disabled ads on all E-M content. We need 70 people to reach our goal of 3,000 active supporters. If we hit that, we'll continue with a new goal in April!

Please check out our Supporter Upgrade and consider coming aboard!

Description

In Closing In, you control a big square, collect little squares, and avoid getting crushed by the walls.

You must jump back and forth between the two walls.

This game was made for the Phaser Game Jam 2020.

This game should be compatible with most mobile devices.

Controls

Click/Touch and hold to aim
Release to move
Collect the dots to complete the level
Escape before being crushed

Music

I tried to make a new original song just for this but wasn't happy with the result, so I used a song I made in 2018 for the NGRMC.

Tips

All of your movements will be angled either left or right, depending on which wall you are on. Keep this in mind and take it into account as you plan your route across each level.
It can sometimes be advantageous to wait on a wall for a while while dots get pushed toward the center. Just make sure you don't lose too much time, or you may not be able to escape!
You don't actually have to hold down while you're aiming. You can pretty reliably collect dots just by quickly clicking/tapping on them.
You can escape through the top or the bottom.

The SECOND I opened this, it took me to a GAMEOVER screen and I can't get out!

I found it relaxing.

Takes a bit to get going, but it has some creative gameplay to it! Very confusing start to the game as everything is a square and the game is a bit too minimalist. The concept is alright, but it could definitely use some polish to add some pizazz to it, as well as some more obstacles or other elements as the game is very drab at the moment. The game does have some cool polish to it, such as the transitions between levels: would love to see similar things applied to the game over screen. All in all, in the later levels the difficulty ramps up and its fun and challenging to make calculated and efficient jumps to get everything you need and escape, so not too shabby.

Medals not working. Nice game tho. It makes you think about situations that seems to be harmless at first, but then...you are desperate trying to escape. 31 first try.

Yeah, starting over at the beginning is a bummer, it took me 2 or 3 tries to get to level ten, and then I got to level 32, and I'm like: not doing that again.
