Battle Puzzle by Dzarg

[raw]
made by Dzarg for LD18 (COMPO)
Battle puzzle is a simple game where you head for the goal.

Arrow keys control the character.
Space switches between blue and orange color which allow you to go through projectiles of the same color.
F2 restarts the game.

I had very little time during this weekend but still wanted to make something, so here's my 5 hour production made using XNA.

Ooh, an Ikaruga-style bullet-phasing game where enemies hit each other. Nice. Not enough to play though.

I did a very similar concept, so maybe I'm biased, but I liked this. Also you've done it in XNA which was probably non trivial. Nice effort but would like to see more levels and some sound. Also I cracked up laughing the first time I got flung around by an enemy :D

What DLLs do I need to play XNA games? They never work for me on Windows 7 64

Installed XNA Framework redist 3.1 and still can't run, sadly.

"BattlePuzzle has stopped working
Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..."

I'd like to try this (it's on my rating list) but XNA... Meh.

Ok, I tried another computer and now it works. Pretty nice concept, could be expanded on.

Good entry, and great concept. Like me, you probably ran out of time to expand the game beyond that.
