I really like how the green blocks turn red, it adds a bit of strategy into the mix. Great!

Clever game mechanic. I like the way it gets harder as you get nearer completion.

A good bit of strategy here for such a minimalistic game.

The audio and 'feel' of the game made it awesome :D

I was unable to download or play the web version, hopefully you can get it fixed so more people can play it.

Is there an end or they keep coming each time with more friends?

I like this game. It really fits the theme well. One suggestion I would offer is that you give a grace period after taking damage, or have knockback effect to get you out of the red square. Once it gets crazy, it was hard to see which red square I was in.

Excellent game. Fits the theme of the compo perfectly in my opinion. Actually challenging, the difficulty ramped up nicely, easy to learn without instruction. Good job!

@dax.. it should go on forever (or till highest int value heh..or the computer blows up from the amount of squares on the screen ;p)

@jim ..thats a good idea actually :) also the idea is NOT to be in a red square ;p

This is one of the few games so far that has gotten a "Mood" rating from me. The sudden change in colour and particle effect that starts when you hit a red square is golden.

The game itself is fast paced and fun.

Similar to @wolfadex, I can't connect to the game. I get a not found error. Weird. :(

Really fun, really simple, the good kind of minimalism. Not as difficult as you warn, I'm really glad you put a health bar in instead of making it instant death. Maybe could be cooler with a score or a more prominent level counter to compare with other people.

@switchbreak.. i did toy with idea of score and a bigger level counter.. i kept trying to stop myself putting more things in.. i wanted to leave the level counter out all together at one point but thought if i did people would have wanted it hehe to i just made it not too prominent .. maybe i should add the score and make it more obvious what level you are on for a post version :)

@stqn ..ya its java.. cant u just play via the web link ? (why do you need me to make a jar ?)

@playvue i just tried the link ..it seems fine.. it stays white for about 7seconds as i didnt have time to make a 'loading' screen ..but it should come up after that

Good idea, it's fun. Maybe it will be better with more square behavior.
