Aggrogate is a 2 player action puzzle game.
Win the game by clearing all cubes of your color range before your opponent.
Clear cubes by connecting 4 or more same-colored cubes

XBOX Controllers:
Right analog stick aims the crosshair
Place light cubes with LB
Place dark cubes with RB

Keyboard:
Left Player Move - WASD
Left Player Light Cube - 1
Left Player Dark Cube - 2
Right Player Move - Arrow Keys
Right Player Light Cube - [
Right Player Dark Cube - ]
"F" key will toggle full-screen
"R" key will restart the round
"ESC" key will exit

Each player views a the same cube puzzle ("You only get one"), and by placing cubes cause it to spin.
The challenge is the speed and precision required to place cubes, when your opponent is spinning the puzzle.
The theme comes into play with this shared puzzle.


Thanks for playing!

I really like the concept. Unfortunately, I don't have another person to play this with me, but I can see the potential. It's a really smooth game.

Very uniquely done action/puzzle game, great work! Any chance of adding more blocks, like ones to mess with your opponent? Great job!

Really cool idea! It took me a little bit to understand what was going on but I got it. Can get really crazy with another person playing!

One of the more innovated entries I've seen from a pure gameplay perspective. Solid puzzle solving action that I'm pretty sure will cause more than a few sibling fistfights. Well done!

This was great, I don't have anyone to play it with right now, but I had fun messing around with it on my own. Nice use of theme, and very well polished too. Controlling it with keyboard was a little clunky, but I can tell it was meant to be played with a controller.

I couldn't play because the file seemed to be damaged or something like that, but I saw the gameplay video and it seems like an amazing multi-player experience :D The graphics are clean and charming and the gameplay is a diamond. Good job!!

Can't really play this because NO FRIENDS, but I can totally see how it's awesome. One of the more interesting entries I've seen in terms of gameplay and pretty neat art style going on too. Good job!

Very clean and interesting game. Took me a while to understand the goal but a very good competitive puzzle game. Well done!

i didnt have a 2nd person to play this with, but even fiddling with it on my lonesome (:C) i could tell it would be a great competitive multiplayer game :D

the graphics are cool with the light/dark cubes, maybe the grey background looks a bit default?

anyway, really great and thoughtful game, i'm keeping it in my games folder for when i get a chance to challenge someone :D

I am just blown away by this! It looks cool, plays smoothly and is just plain fun. Not enough two player games in most LDs, loved it! :)

this idea looks fun, but confusing. I think you would need to practice a bit before you got the hang of it. I wish i could play it with a second player but right now im all alone :(. anyway i watched the video as well to get an idea of play. verry impressive game, can't wait to try it out properly when i have a friend around.
