This is really fun! I like the challenge of only having one dash at a time and also planning around the death zone. Very simple controls, yet complex strategies can be built on it! Nice work!

This is BRILLIANT!

So simple and so hard!

wow, hearing that you love this little game is so exciting - nothing like hearing those words for the first time! what was your experience like learning to play? i'd love to know more about how the challenge felt at first.

I didn't understand anything on the first try. What do I control? What's happening on the screen? On the one hand, a small tutorial would be nice, on the other hand, the mystery gives the game a certain charm.

On the third try I realized which square I was controlling.

Around the sixth - what needs to be done.

It took about two dozen attempts to get a feel for the timing. It would be faster with a countdown sound, but it might not be more fun. Have you experimented with this?

And no matter how much you study, sooner or later you will get distracted and make a mistake. The game requires really strong concentration, a sense of time, and a habit of speed.

Nice game but it was hard to understand . It was a bit frustrating when the safe zones changed and I couldn't know when they would go to or when they changed while I was moving towards it.

i'm sorry for the confusion with the safe zones. i've added a 30 second gameplay demo to help you predict the changes. hope this makes it easier and more fun. thanks for playing!

This was a cool game, despite looking like a simple game, there is quite a few things to consider each time to launch the cube.

In the beginning it was a bit hard to understand how to play!
