M O R E by BoroBoro
My second Ludum Dare entry. You play as an innocent little Rectangle that's trying to feed "The Maw" that grows hungrier and hungrier to prevent yourself from getting eaten. Try to Score as many points as possible by feeding the glowing Point Dudes to it before the time runs out.
Controls:
WASD - Movement
Space - Pick up Point Dude
Enter - Feed to the Maw
Q - Temporary speed boost
R - Pick up all Point Dudes in a large radius (Unlocked at a score of 3000)
ESC - quit game

The Maw just kept eating me :(
Game bugged out for me as well, froze.
Moving around to pick up objects to place is a very reasonable concept though.
The "R" key not working must be because the ability is unlocked at ~3000 points, something that I should have stated from the beginning.
As for the game freezing, that was a last-minute issue that I only had a sloppy fix for, so it happening again for someone seems to be... inevitavle...
Seems like the speed boost never stops when I activate it. The area on the right is difficult to access, having more time would be nice.
I think the theme of the game really works well with the theme of the jam, and it was pretty fun.
Sadly I had a few bugs where sometimes space would only flatten points instead of picking them up, and also the boost never ran out even after the timer did (though that worked in my favor so I'm not complaining).
it tooks me time to understand i can grab multiples guys at the same time
Fun concept, well done for 48 hours!
