This is pretty good!
It does get a bit repetitive after you figure out how to effectively clear the stuff, but still, pretty cool mechanics and the art is nice.

Thanks man! Yeah I get that repetitive feeling also. I didn’t really get a chance to mess around with the spawn manager. Thanks for the rating :)

I like the logic of it, definitely potential to be some cool arcade game concept, Should add some scoring track though on this version already so as to see progress or not ;)

I looks nice, but apart from that it's kinda tedious...
There's no music and the gameplay is just moving quickly mouse left and right...

Nicely done, innovative gameplay imho. Could do with a bit more audio/music, hud elements. It runs smoothly, it plays smoothly, could be a great mobile game. Well done, solid 5/5.

i didn't know what to expect clicking on that link, but the game is actually one of my favs in the contest! the theme is on point, and the game play is fun and kinda zen. really good work!

do wish there's a bgm to go with it, would really add to the mood.

This is a really cool game! I was pleasantly surprised when the red cube broke into smaller cubes and my ability to carry some of the bars with me as a shield for awhile.

Great work!

Really interesting concept! Would love to see this expanded to feel a bit less repetitive.

Very cool arcade-style game. Moving the obstacles gets compelling after a little bit of play getting used to how it works.

My only complaint is having to click to chase the mouse pointer, which got painful for my wrist either spam clicking or holding down the mouse button for the whole game. Optional keyboard controls would be great, but even just having it chase the mouse pointer without clicks required would improve the experience a lot.

@marcmagus Thanks :D It's emissive lighting through post processing. This tutorial is super helpful for making this effect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTOZlVybcw4&t=3s
