Balls and Blocks by monsieurvinou

* DISCLAIMER *
Since I'm not an expert on the framework I used to make this game, I couldn't make a web version of it. Since it's with air, you have to actually install the game to play it. I really hope some of you will take the time to do it and give me feedback.
If not, I totally understand. If we had to install every game we give notes to for the Ludum Dare, nobody would play any of those games!
* END OF DISCLAIMER *

This game is pretty simple.
All you need to do is collect the most balls in the time you have.
Each time you collect a ball, you get 5 more seconds on the clock.
Each time you collect a ball, a block will appear in its place.

There are 4 types of blocks :
- Blue block : It's a platform
- Black / White blocks : They are platform, but you can disable/enable them with the "Switch" button ( Tab, Shift, Q, W, E, B on XboxController ). A white block cannot be walked on, but the black ones can. When you switch, the white blocks become white and white ones become black.
- Red Block : If you touch them, you die!

It's a quick gameplay game, the graphics are pretty poor ( mostly blocks of color ) but I'm pretty proud of my stickman animation!

Nice music! I like the idea, but couldn't get used to the jumping. I missed nearly all the blocks...

The physics are wayyy too floaty for my liking, which kind of spoils the game. The music is good, and the mechanic is decent, and probably would be fun if the controls were tighter.

Really quite difficult because of the floaty controls.
I made a similar mistake with mine!

Really dug the music and animations. The game play was really fun. The controls could be a little tighter but really nice work.
