Built with C# and XNA entirely in Visual Studio. (And the tiniest bit of MS Paint.)
Click (Both left and right click work!) the screen to pull boxes towards your mouse. Try to get as many boxes as you can into the highlighted area. You get points for the boxes that make it and you lose points for those that don't.
Careful, though. Gravity changes every few seconds and the game will gradually get faster and harder.

Interesting game, took some time before I got positive score :P
Best score is -221 :D
Pretty good mechanic, but I couldn't tell if it was getting any harder or if my finger was just getting tired.
This is pretty fun, I haven't seen much like it before. It's a little cruel when gravity points, say, left, and the target area is on the right, because it's very hard to get the squares into the area. That said, it's cool to play, and quite intuitive. Good work.
Pretty good game, but quit challenging, kept getting negative score :/. Did enjoy it, but there were times that gravity was against me, and it got quite annoying!

Interesting idea, but seems super hard, unless there's some technique to the clicking which helps counteract gravity more in some way?
Click click click! I got 1467, but I may have cheated and used both mouse buttons :)
Sorry, everyone! I did forget to mention that both mouse buttons are valid and each work fine! It's definitely a lot easier with each. I'll update the description.
when i try to run the .exe nothing happens. looks interesting though
Take a look in the readme if nothing happens when you run it. It's likely because you don't have the XNA Framework or .NET 4.0 installed. I bundled an installer in the ZIP for XNA which you can run if all else fails.
Mechanics need some fine tuning but the concept itself has a lot of potential.
i love the minimalist game art! You could improve the mechanical, the system challenges!
Congrats, yet!

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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
I clicked like crazy and got pretty far. OK game, but I only got negative score - I guess I sucked at it :)
