I really like the idea and it works really well! It did get very difficult to control what was going on at times, but it was enough that I had fun playing.
Good idea, and nice execution! some feedback:
Don't get all that criticism let you think I didn't like the game. I thought it was very nice, and did a lot with very little.
Yeah, the controls definitely take some getting used to. I think using the mouse wheel is easier than the arrow keys (especially if you have a free-rotating mouse wheel), but being able to move or rotate the square by moving the mouse would also be nice.
I agree the side graphics probably aren't all distinct enough...even I was getting them mixed up sometimes when playing!
When I was testing it, I liked having a little bit of a breather in between waves. I did make it so if there are no balls left on the screen, it'll move up the spawn time of the next wave, so there shouldn't be more than a couple seconds of downtime. I never tried just having constant spawning modulated by the number of balls remaining though, which might work better.
Thanks for the feedback!
Well made and fun gameplay idea! I had some issues with balls getting stuck inside my square, but overall it felt polished and proper :) Nicely done!
Yeah, I noticed that could happen pretty early on, but I decided to leave it in since it allows you to do silly things like gather balls and ferry them to a score area, or launch them out of you at incredible speeds, which is amusing to me.
I really enjoyed it. Well done!
Cool theme interpretation! Very unique! One piece of feedback was that I found the controls a bit unintuitive, at least at the beginning, it feels like there is a "forward" direction, but obviously its just a square and there isn't. Really cool game overall, well done!
