Hi :)
Here is my game. I only spent Saturday on it as I didn't feel to good today (Sunday). Just press space to change direction, there is no penalty for hitting the edges but it does keep track After 60 seconds your score is displayed :)
Note: I never got round to implementing the scoreboard :(

I like it. Really needed to have the wall touching physics implemented. Would've been loads of fun...
Need to make it so he bounces off the walls, or have some sort of penalty for hitting the edges...
I like it!
It would've been better though if you had implemented some kind of punishment for touching the walls.
Cheers for the feedback :) I wish I didn't get ill on Sunday. Would of loved to have finished this!
Hey, not a bug. You just have to press space to change direction :)
I didnt really get it at first as the first few times I started the game I didnt see the square... after I got ahold of the little guy the game was entertaining. You should keep developing
Nice start, the presentation is reasonable. Why move by pressing space, and not just cursor keys?
Took me a minute to figure out what was going on here, but I think the point is to keep pressing space to keep the little guy between the walls. I would be interested in seeing this one when it's completed.
Nice idea, still needs some work... But it's a good start! :)
I tried playing by the rules first and hit 28 blocks. Then I tried doing nothing, the Square just moves upwards out of the screen. Somehow it doesn't seem to hit anything any more after some time so I ended up with only 10 blocks hit.
I also vote for wall touching physics. :)
Not penalizing but keeping track of wall collisions was interesting, but you should provide some feedback so the player knows what to avoid.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
