Work in progress is playable here.

Basic gameplay is in place; use the mouse to guide your little guy around, avoid the enemies. Enemies will combine when they hit each other. Press space to detonate (you only get one shot, so make it count!). Enemies will chain react with your detonation. I have to give credit to Geometry Wars 2’s Pacifism mode and the many flash chain reaction games as sources of inspiration.

According to Rescue Time, I’ve spent just under 6 hours on it so far, including about 30 minutes of boilerplate prep yesterday before the competition started. Pretty happy with the progress so far, given the amount of time I’ve put in.

• Make it work with touch events so it works on mobile; gameplay seems like a good fit for touch
• Scoring
• Gameplay complications (maybe)
• Visual polish
