The enemies are quite dull but this is understandable since 48 hours is a short time to create art. There is no end game and no real challenge, but this has some nice potential. Boosting the weapon each 10 sec is cool, but then I just have to wait for 30 minutes on top (all the enemies are going down) and have a nuclear weapon in my hands (haha). But good job anyway :)"},{"author_name":"BlackBulletIV","author_uid":"3915","time":"Aug 30, 2013 @ 12:05am","epoch":1377820800,"text":"A cool concept. I had fun getting chased by those blue things.

I wish there was some sound, I played it for a good 40 minutes so I just listened to some dubstep. Fight well and made me panic. (Consider it.) I LOVE the idea and it was executed perfectly. I would have been fine with like a green rect being the main character. The blue rects are impossible to fight if more than five get in a group. Hahah. The collision detection is spot on. The destruction of levels is great to. Wonderful work! Keep it up."},{"author_name":"Hayawi","author_uid":"20256","time":"Aug 30, 2013 @ 1:14am","epoch":1377824940,"text":"Thanks for all the advice and complements, btw be sure to check out the post compo.

Could really suit suit mobile, tapping on blocks to remove them as he falls, and double tapping to activate a shield to defend against enemies or something.
