With The Wind by GameRespect
Settled on this extremely simple and short game because I had more to do this weekend than I'd previously foreseen. I did this up in about 3 hours, and I think overall, it is pretty decent :)
I'm submitting this at 2.44am, with lectures in about 4 hours :)
Hopefully I will be able to submit something better the next dare.
Go easy on it okay! :D

Otherwise, I liked the idea. It's simple, it's fun. It's basically Brownian motion in action :)
Or am I thinking of Zero-point energy?
Good job :)
I did feel as though I was not in control some of the time. Are there any subtle in game clues about which way the wind is going to blow next that I'm missing? My strategy is to see which way the box is headed and attempt to push it back to the centre. But it seems at times that even with a direction key held from the moment the box started to drift it wasn't enough to overcome the wind. So it seemed that at some points you would have to predict the wind change.
-my score: 746
-For the post-compo version it would be cool if the wind intensity matched the music up and downs.
-For a 3 hours game this is pretty good.
