Liked the idea of the game, the sound is a little bit to loud of the go but really nice effects.

Developer

Thanks! If the sound quality is bad in the web version, consider downloading. :)

you claim full controller support, but that’s not quite the case! there’s no way to navigate the menus without the mouse! even still, thank you for including controller support at all!

also it counts as getting squished if you touch the bottom of a block regardless of whether you were on the ground or high in the air? that felt like a cheap death while bouncing on the green block! my high score is currently at 173. been enjoying playing in the “less-bloom” mode

high score: 173

Thanks for the feedback! I didn't think about the menu when making controller controls because the menu wasn't there yet XD. I wanted to mention that the green block was meant to be a trap, so it bounces you into the botton of a falling block. I also wanted to say that you demolished my highscore! It was 132 seconds.

I really like this game, especially the graphics! And it's quite challenging! My best time is 54 seconds.

Developer

Thanks! My best is 132 seconds.

Fun to play and beautiful to look at!  If you want to continue working on this after the jam, one possibility to consider is to color the bottoms of the falling blocks red until they hit the ground so it's clear that you can't touch them.  (Otherwise you might mistakenly think that the blocks only kill you if they crush you - which I did, haha.)  Excellent game!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I might continue eorking on this.

It was annoying to click on Space 5 times to recover the controls and detect the last one as a Jump. Nevertheless, I liked it.

Developer

I know. That was kinda the point. Thanks again for commenting and playing the game! :D

One of the most beautiful games of the jam.

Thank you! That is very nice to hear. Have a nice day! :D

Surprisingly difficult, my best was 45 seconds. Whenever I lost control of the player I would end up jumping and dashing to my doom afterwards since I was spamming the space button.

Developer

Yea, the point was to count the 5 presses. My highscore is 132 seconds. ;)

This game is pretty nice to play, the lore fits in really well with the game, would be nice to have the highscore in the corner

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and playing the game!

Great graphic! this mini game feels lively and dazzling 😆 (the dash looks just like glitch art XD)

My best score was 86 lol

(sometimes I just stay at the corner wishing blocks not hit myself, actually this strategy works well XD)

Thanks for trying the game out! My highscore is 132 seconds. ;)

Developer

Yea. Also thanks for playing!

Developer

Thanks! My highscore is 132 seconds. ;)

looks a bit confusing especially when you dash onto a block that kills you when you jump in the air, but the game is still pretty cool and has nice visuals

Developer

I appreciate the feedback! It helps a lot.

I love the movement and controls in this game!

Developer

Thank you for the comment! :)

First off, the obvious: Despite being a game about a block trying to avoid other blocks, this game is gorgeous. You've really nailed the particle effects and animations and lighting, making this feel incredibly polished. 

I also really liked the controls. The player might be a tad too slippery (and maybe a bit too fast?), but the movement feels great, and I particularly liked the implementation of the dash (and that animation is so sweet!). Adding the two coloured blocks with different effects was fantastic, plus the random beam of doom every now and again helped keep things fresh.

However, I did sometimes have moments where the best strategy is to just stand there, not moving, which seems counter to the intent of the game. Perhaps more targeted blocks is a way around that? Also, the alternate you taking over seemed to mostly just do nothing (i.e. just stand there), which means that most of the time, it was fine, except for the few times a block was about to crush me when it happened.

Needing to use the jump button to break out of the control usually caused me to fly into a random direction because of how the jumping works next to a block, but perhaps that was the intent?

Though my biggest complaint is the time it takes to restart! Having to switch to a mouse to click on the restart button was a bit tedious, specifically in a game where my average run was 20 seconds long.

Anyway, an excellent game that feels really nice to play. Fantastic job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! It was intended that you need to press the jump button to take the control back, so you need to count the 5 presses and try not to dash into the lava or something. Thanks again, I really appreciate the comment. Have a nice day! :D
