You are stuck in a warehouse with insane robots. How long can you survive? When running out of space, they will bury you on a heap of boxes.

I get what you're going for here, but due to the board size, you end up spending most of the game just standing in one spot, then after a few minutes things move so fast you can get boxed in with no way to react.

It's a cool idea, but needs balance work for it to be fun.

The tetris-style line clear is a nice touch though.

A good little game!
I enjoyed the music and the simple graphics.
When things are beginning to go fast I was really in the game!
As @fireslash said, with a bit more balance it could be better.

But I had fun playing as I had fun coding my game, so the jam goal is reached!

It's well put together but needs a better learning curve and balancing.

Funny little game. I like how the rows explode tetris-style when they're full. And just like @pamoy I ended up invincible on my second attempt and just watched the madness unfold. The game actually looks quite impressive once the speed goes up and boxes keep exploding all around you. :)

You can end invincible if you stand in half a block, and then just keep jumping up:

Nice feeling, you just need a bit more balancing so the difficulty grows gradually, instead of starting too easy and just jump to very hard until the game goes fast.

I'd like it if the robots were a lot more likely to drop boxes on your head if you keep standing on one place, because it would force the player to move. Overall a nice entry!

If you have time, I'd love to hear your opinion on my game too. Thank you!

Good job on the game. I think I was only able to manage a score of 850 without *cheating*. The line clear effect startled me the first time it happened. The frantic rushing of the crate claws is fun to watch while I wasn't running for my life. Like others I also had issues with some of the falling block collisions. Nothing a little polish cannot fix. You might be able to heighten the sense of action by switching to a portrait orientation which would give the player more time to react, and reduce how much time the player can just stand still.
Overall, an excellent submission.

I really like the music! I managed to get to 1250 without cheating. I love the line clear effect! I do wish you could move around a bit faster. Also during my third play through a box fell on me and didn't kill me but when I jumped I died. Good job!

The entire look to the game, the music, the feel: it's awesome! Despite its simple mechanics, the entire game feel so good purely because the visuals and the music adds so much to it.

The player sprite is glorious. I don't know if this was your intention, but I spent a lot of time making the character dance around on the boxes; not entirely sure why I decided to do that! Simple, but certainly good.

This game is pretty sweet and I like it's take on the theme. My main criticism was lose condition - I noticed that i didn't lose every time a box fell on my head, but sometimes I did. I couldn't tell if that was due to bugs, or because different box types do more damage, or what the deal was there. Good work otherwise.
