Looks nice, especially the cube effects :)

Well done :)

Besides, obviously, some flavour of Pascal/Delphi, what other tools did you use to create the game?

Well, 1st run was quite fun. Didn't manage to find the "safe spot" at all though before I started getting pummeled by the shower. Can the spot be hidden by buildings, as I thought I had covered all of the walkable ground before I died?

That's so cool! You'll have to read the next Pascal Gamer magazine now. ;)

Ok, that makes it more fun once you find the mine... Of course, that also throws a whole NEW twist into the game. Congrats, lots of fun to play.

Some thoughts; something else would be fun. Maybe some sort of life packs, shields, or something to keep you occupied. Maybe another Cubie (person) to try and save... Not sure... But overall, I'm enjoying dieing as I find lower and lower levels of the mine.

Is there actually a way to "beat" this game LOL

Awesome game. :)

Wow, I got a fright when the meteors started. Finished it on second play-through. You have to tunnel / mine your way to the green square you can see beneath you sometimes. That's the win. I never found any "safe spot" tho. :P

[mikade]

*double posts.

Fourth play-through. If you want an quick and dirty way to win and see the meteors do their thing, just hide in the corners. The meteors fall along the sides much less. I've managed to sit there and watch the destruction of the whole city down to as far as it goes without taking damage. Looks really pretty. ;D

jdarling,
To get health, just destroy your bloody bricks (+2 hp per one)

[Colin]

very impressive, very fun gameplay, could be a big arcade hit if you add higher res support/options and some added extra gameplay, well done

[paul_nicholls]

LOL! I got down to 30 health because I had to walk away for a bit, but I got to the green brick in the end in the first go after the helpful hints above :)

It was fun...thanks!

cheers,
Paul
