I had a problem where it would have to be reset after I died because it froze. I'm also not quite sure what I'm supposed to be doing? But I really like the aesthetic and I can imagine this would be awesome with some pumping synthwave!
buggy a bit freezy but otherwise a great take on the theme
8/15
The freeze makes it hard to experiment with, and I think I was dying to lasers the second they appeared (before they'd visually appeared). The concept is really cool, and you could squeeze a lot of depth out of the simple mechanics. Cool entry!
Its cool, but it seems to keep freezing?
Nice idea !The game froze after the first loss.
I like the idea, but it doesn't feel like the player has much agency. Bouncing off the box to change direction is inconsistent and I often ended up breaking out, which was frustrating.
It would help to give the player some control over their movement beyond rotating and scaling the box. A few abilities like a speed boost or a predictable way to change direction would help a lot. If you do that and fix the inconsistencies in the box collisions, this could be an interesting game. Feels kind of like Undertale combat, and could be pretty fun with some changes.
That said, congrats on completing the jam. Keep it up!
