VierEcken by YsenGrimm

[raw]
made by YsenGrimm for LD26 (JAM)
This not really a Jam game, I made it in barely more than 12 hours. I didn't even wanted to participate this time due to my finals. But I couldn't resist my urge to create a game.
This was also a really good excuse not to learn ;).

Here it is: VierEcken (German for Squared, or better 4 corners)
I wanted the game to be this hard, to create the feeling of excitement you experience after mastering something challenging.
Also it's really a skill based game, you'll get better after a while :D.

==== Controls =====
A and D

=============================================
I probably will create a Unity version soon, I really need to learn Unity.

Sweet! Watched it live on the Twitch, then had a play! I love the difficulty!

Great idea and fun to play. Maybe make it easier at the first level. try to have a timer and random spawn that only spawns one from one side at a time.

Slow it down a bit? I wonder if a larger center piece would make distinguishing colors easier, too.

Otherwise great game!

Wow, that's hard! I love it. Minimalist to the bone and still very engaging.

It's difficult in an addicting way. It's one of those games that you have your friends play as a challenge.

Great game! Simply, but fun and addictive. A bit hard, though. Nice work.

A very good game but in the beginning it's too hard.

Good idea. The difficulty is definelly a signature of the game.

Fun to play, got a score of 330 on my 15th (or something) try. It was kinda annoying that music restarted every time you died, it destroyed the 'flow' a bit.

Otherwise good job! ~

Good Game! Nice concept. Well executed. A little bit difficult but it works well nonetheless :)

Really hard but the concept is really great. That could be turned into an amazing puzzle game.

Nice but need some control improvements because now it very difficult.

It is pretty difficult. Maybe ease people into it a bit more (after your exams)?
But I like it.

By the way: with Flash it is a good idea to make the game start with a mouseclick, because the game usually doesn't have the focus at the start so doesn't register key events.

Cool idea, but a bit too difficult because squares can be spawned at the same time from multiple sides.
