Does this game have an end? i think it'd be better if it did, that way there's a cutoff point where you can check your scores, instead of playing until you get bored

Developer

Thanks for playing! No it goes on forever. That's a good idea. It is missing an "end screen", maybe after a certain number of destroyed boxes, would also make scores easier to compare.

I make boxes. Made about 30 of them.  when you get into the flow it can get pretty fun.

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it. That flow as the boxes speed up was exactly what I was going for.

If you combined the levels into one continuous track, this game would make an amazing endless runner!

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you liked it. Haha, actually that was one of the original concepts for it, that you would be one box the whole time trying to get to the end. But I went with the multi box option instead in the end.

The game fits the theme of the jam. Although the controls feel a little weird and difficult specially with the camara. I didnt start the game and the camara was already moving. I pressed the confirm button and I couldnt make the right move to adjust it... Cool concept tough

Developer

Thanks for playing. The camera was something I was hoping to polish more, but didn't get to unfortunately. I found it works a bit better in fullscreen, but do wish I'd fixed.

Really, sorry to hear its's not working for you. Should be WASD to change the box size. Are you using the browser or one of the downloads?

browser, no input seems to work

I think it's infinite. I made so many boxes and lost a lot more. I stayed on it for a long time, but I didn't understand if there was a more specific objective. Quantity to be achieved and completed. Or quantity that I shouldn't lose. I think I lost more than 100 hahaha

Developer

Thanks for playing, happy it kept you engaged. You're right it's effectively infinite. The objective is to make as many boxes as you can.

Simple concept but very mind bending! I played it for quite a while (are there infinitely generating levels?).

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you liked it. Yes there are, it keeps generating random levels and speeds up, though I think there would be a point where the levels would be impossible to complete.
