There's something oddly pleasing about this, and I can't figure out what. The controls itself are a bit horrible, after all - at least the red cube could show better what side is facing "front" and "back" for the movement. :)
Yeah, the controls were a little confusing, but I really like the music and the game fits the theme well!
Agree with ZeroDivide about the controls. Left and Right are the wrong way around! otherwise I found it to be fun knocking those shapes off.
If you gave all the shapes angry eyes it would be funnier though :)
I had the same issue with the reversed controls. Otherwise, fun little game.
Good game that requires some skill. I had a little trouble remembering which way the cube was facing. Once I worked that out I was able to work on suminating the opponents.
Controls are really hard to get used to, perhaps because I have no idea where the cube is facing, music fits in nicely
It took me a little while to get used to the controls, but once I did I enjoyed it. Great music, too.
While the controls were confusing, I found the general concept pretty well executed. Nice idea.
I don't know why that green cylinder keeps humping me, but great job!
Very cool concept, try to improve controls maybe. Or add a face to the cube to know which way it's going.
Here there is a photo of the Developer during the Ludum Dare xD He can confirm!

it was fun to see geometric shapes sumo
the controls need some work
Cool game. The movements gave the simple shapes a lot of personality.
That was a lot of fun. I'd recommend adding a texture to the player so you know which direction you are facing. Well done
Any game that makes me think is the winner! This is definitely a good ride.
lol... that is very cool! I like the control and lack of shadows... adds a novel simplicity to the game. Great mood.
Fun, but still needs some work, like a way to show where the player is facing... :) Nice music!
I really liked the music! Knowing which way the cube was facing wasn't a problem for me, but the left/right controls being inverted threw me off. Also, I have no idea what I was supposed to do. But I hope it was push the other shapes off the platform. Because I did a lot of that, and it was fun. The momentum for overpowering the other shapes feels very right.
This brought a smile on my face when I played it. Loved the concept.
One suggestion would be to give an indication of what way the player is facing - not being able to see that made the controls a bit difficult to handle at times.
I really didn't knew why I was having more score , I took 110 ,and I was confused about the front of my square :(

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.
Interesting concept, and the music is nice. The controls, however, are confusing: the rotation directions seem to be reversed (pressing A rotates the cube clockwise, and D counter-clockwise), and there's no indication of which was it's facing.
