PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
Throw your boulder at the enemies (the cubes) to squish 'em. Space bar to pick up and throw, arrow keys to move. Don't get squished yourself! Enjoy! Made for Ludum Dare 32 by James Moulang: http://jamesmoulang.co.uk <---- dev blog here.

I like the graphics, and the primitives actually looked good in this game. The walls too had a fun graphical look to them that made the game look really minimal and clean. Fantastic job in that regard.
Picking up the boulder was a really cool mechanic. It was funny to see that little cylinder pickup the hufe sphere.
Really good job!
Hey I noted that you draw the back-faces of the walls semi-transparent - nice touch! :)
I suck too much, a restart button would be nice :) I also managed to throw the boulder into a wall never to return one time.
This is brilliant! You should really expand on this after the jam :D
I love the idea and the fact that you may be hurted by your own weapon but having to refresh the page when you die is really annoying.
I like the little screenshake, when the boulder hits a wall. It think this game would be better in 2D. The enemy behavior was not very interesting. I like the basic idea and the graphics.
Good graphics and good concept. The game could get quite slow though. Also the close camera gave little idea of what happens. Good job though!
This game was really fun. Some of the minigames were a little obscure (especially the ones where you have to use the arrow keys - i was pressing WASD and clicking on the prompts to no effect). The shave-the-baby minigame did make me laugh xD
(disregard those comments - i posted in the wrong tab! I actually can't play this game because these computers do not have the Unity player :( )
Nice idea. I like the simple art style. The controls feel a bit slow and imprecise. Also some sounds would have been cool. But still, good work.
This game does not have a gameover state, so you have to refresh the page to restart. Other than that, it's nice. Having only basic geometric shapes (cube, capsule, ball) instead of actual models doesn't bother me at all, the game works just as well.

Mini Submission FAQ
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.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
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 at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
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.
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.
Had fun. Good job. I liked the concept of being able to be hurt by the boulder too.
