I wish that when encountering multiple pieces in a row, the compactor would destroy only one on each push, giving me more time to build and not favoring vertical structures so much - the game is quite hard for me and I usually die pretty quickly once some of my structures are gone. Would love to see some comeback mechanism to \"push\" the compactor back up somehow!\n\nSolid entry - I think it would be great to update the description here and add some instructions - a lot more people will enjoy it then!\n\nB A D G E R   O N","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":798912,"author_name":"Chris McKnight","author_uid":"chris-mcknight","epoch":1649215801,"text":"This is really well done, music, art and puzzles spliced with theme made for a really nice but simple game.\nId second the call for some more pictures and maybe do a post to get some visibility, was pleasantly surprised with this one :)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":807162,"author_name":"Lighty_the_Light","author_uid":"lighty-the-light","epoch":1649290502,"text":"A hard yet fun game! It took me quite a while to figure out how this game works though.\n\nThe survive time really depends on how many coin generators you got at early stages.\n\nI haven't seen any blocks that could push back the ceiling, which made the ending really 'inevitable'. But I suppose having a slight chance of knockback the ceiling would set up the mood better and also make the game durable. Just my thought :smile: \n\nAnyway, really well done! Good music, good animation, good art and gameplay design. I don't really know what else could I ask for.\n\n*Update*\n\nI got 5 coin generators in a row at the beginning!
