Theme interpretation
In my game the goal is to reach the top of the highest tower. In order to do that you have to hit and bring down objects with some rather difficult shots.

Somehow it's a lot of fun. I don' really know why. Maybe the skate like walking physics. I like it. Please keep working on it. I can see it going places.

Cool idea and game definitely has some potential, it needs tiny bit more work with FPS aspect and adding a tutorial but overall amazing game.

Thanks! Yeah, just a tiny bit of work left :)

the idea has some potential, but it need to be developed a bit more to see what it can achieve :-)

I reached the top of the block on top of the highest tower! I think I won, but there wasn't any indicator I did so maybe there was an even higher point. Shooting the balls felt very nice, and was easily my favorite part of the game. After I climbed to the top of the tower, I spent the rest of the time trying to shoot one of the cubes to the edge of the map. I never did reach the edge though. It's a fun idea for a game, and you've given yourself a solid base to work off. The last thing I'd like to mention is the Escape menu for the game doesn't fit the small window, but it works perfectly if you full screen it.

Great job reaching the top of the highest tower!It is true there is no reward when you "finish" the game. A bit disappointing perhaps, but after all this is just a prototype to test the potential of an idea. The escape menu is just the default menu of a Cannon JS demo which I used as a base for this prototype. Yes - I know - a very lazy solution :)

Cool concept! it would be great to have a difficulty progression or small tutorial to show how to use the blocks.

I enjoyed playing it and the freedom provided.

PS: This is the highest I managed to reach for now :P

Thanks for testing the prototype! Great to see the screenshots. Sorry for making such a difficult first level. It is possible to reach the top of the highest tower, but I only managed to do that once. A tutorial is sadly missing.

A cool prototype. The challenge is very difficult but can be mastered. It was fun.

Fun idea! Shooting the balls was oddly satisfying. I like how you made an interesting platforming challenge with a simple mechanic. Would love to see more levels and the audio and graphics fleshed out more. There's a lot of potential here, hope you keep working on this game!

Thank you for playing! There were a few more levels but I only kept this one because it was my personal favorite. The audio is made with ZzFX - a tiny sound effects engine. Music was not added to keep the game small and avoid long loading time. Hope I can keep working on this idea.

This was quite fun to play. You should change the colors and make more Levels. Good game!

Thanks! Happy you like my game. There will be more levels soon. Agree, the colors are awful :)

You can try my game, if you want to get some inspiration on colors
