In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player starts off with no powers, but when the player joins together with other nodes around the map, they get stronger.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I coded the entire game myself in the span of one week. I made every asset except for a few sound effects. I have the rights to those sound effects (I bought them) from the Pro Sound Collection by GameMaster Audio.

I really like the idea, but it feels too easy. Visuals are simple yet effective. Great execution :)
That's awesome to hear! I know it's a little easy, but that's better than it being incredibly difficult. Thanks for playing. I've given your game a try, and it's really great!
Thank you and I totally agree with you that easier is better than too difficult :)
Really good.
:)
The best I've played so far. Has a strong feeling of growing power.
Thank you so much! Your game's awesome too!
I really liked this one! I like the personality that each block has, makes it easy to tell at a glance roughly what they're supposed to do and gives it a real sense of teamwork, rather than pure resource-gathering. I also like the different powers that they have. It reminds me a bit of Mii Force from the 3DS Street Pass games, which was always my favorite one. Great job and keep at it!
Thanks! I've tried your game and you did a great job with it! Nice going
good game, good, game, good game, Congratulations
Thank you! :D
I liked the concept! Very cool. All tough I did get OP very fast and could be everything easily due to crazy amounts of buddies
Thanks! I appreciate that.
I ended up playing this for way longer than I meant to. Everytime I thought I had collected all the nodes I found a new one
Same here ;)
I really like this game.
It would by nice if the camera gets bigger when you have more nodes, because I couldn't see the enemies when I had a lot of nodes.
You can check my game too 😀:

Very fun game. Small changes could improve things a lot. It's not fun when your character takes up the whole screen and projectiles come from nowhere.
Excellent game. I found myself playing more and more. The nice touches just do it for me. Semiprofessional UI displaying new information about nodes, the nodes falling off the map if they hang over the side, the fitting music, great sound effects, camera shift based on where your mouse is, node variants, nice theme application, great name, all add up! Your art is OK, but in the end, the game is really well made and fits the theme perfectly. Excellent work!
Thanks for your kindness :)
It's awesome how supportive the game dev community is. Thank you.
Nice game!! Really liked to create a cube frankenstein
The game idea is cool. nice game design. good luck
wow that was realy cool
This game was super fun. I loved the variety in the nodes.
Thanks! Your game is really amazing as well! Keep up the great work!
Family reunion!
This game actually was a lot of fun! The idea sticks (literally) with the theme. I´ve probably killed more children by throwing them off the cliff than the enemies have. The idea of kids with different strengths is very well implemented in the game. At some point, I was too overpowered though and the enemies didn't stand a chance.
Thanks for your support! Glad you liked it!
Fun, creative and overall just cool. Awesome game!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!
I really love all the different nodes you came up with their different looks and abilities. The game looks and sounds great.
The problem is that I quickly ended up with a million nodes that wrecked every enemy and made me pretty much invincible and started lagging the game due to all the bullets on screen. I think you would be better off limiting the number of nodes a player can get. That would allow each individual type to shine more and it would create more of a challenge (possibly spawn more enemies as well).
Changing up the background a little would also help (maybe use two different tiles and mix it up). It would give the players a better sense of orientation.
But overall great job! This idea has lots of potential and it's clear you put a lot of effort into this game.
Thanks! I know it's not perfect, but I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've tried your game too, and it's awesome! Thanks for playing.
Great, great entry. The concept is imaginative, the game is fast and dynamic, so it doesn't need some fancy animations. There are tons of interesting blocks you can add to your family and mostly it's a ton of fun. Unless you wanna work on better graphics and SFX, I have nothing to slander :D . I give you an internal rating of 3 megablasts! (which is a lot)
OMG! Amazing game! Really fun and enjoyable!
this is just an all around solid game.
It feels great having a huge army of blocks, just plowing through enemies, all with different types of attacks.
I will say however, i think the game is a bit too easy, and the screen resolution is too big for my screen
