I like the variety in the enemies, but I found it very hard to predict where I'm going to place the box. That combined with some collision box issues made playing the game a bit hard at times. Some kind of a score would be cool, even if it was just 'time survived' :)"},{"author_name":"barryrowe","author_uid":"34236","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 3:41am","epoch":1418096160,"text":"Very very difficult.

It's easy to misplace a block, as it's hard to tell where it will land.

This led to issues where I got myself trapped by my creations, or just wasted bricks. Perhaps a simple cursor, or snapping blocks to a grid could help?"},{"author_name":"oranebeast","author_uid":"33501","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 8:13am","epoch":1418112480,"text":"A fun, innovative game."},{"author_name":"Dontre","author_uid":"44718","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 1:31pm","epoch":1418131560,"text":"Thanks for your comments guys. I had no time to realize all things, sounds for example. RockhopperGames, i think it`s a good idea to snapping block to a grid. I don`t, if i will do this, is this will break the LD rules?"},{"author_name":"mauris","author_uid":"41250","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 3:30pm","epoch":1418138700,"text":"Very well made hardcore game.

Nice minimal graphic style and lots of stuff out to kill you. I like how boxes break after a while so you can't just hole up in a corner. I had a lot of fun with it and will have some more after I'm done writing this sentence :P"},{"author_name":"Sh1rogane","author_uid":"14496","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 6:49pm","epoch":1418150640,"text":"Fun idea.
