You are a brightly colored box. Dodge faintly colored boxes for as long as you can and hope to get a high score!
Use WASD or arrow keys to select menu stuff, F/Enter to do stuff and R to reset.
Oh, and if you get to the top of the screen all currently placed boxes are destroyed. Hooray!


This game was made with the goal of being fun with as little flashiness as possible. No sounds, no animations,  heck, no real colors either. It also has a microscopically small file size of 1mb, so if you can read this description the game has probably loaded already.
Essentially, it's the idea of making a Minimum Viable Product stand into a fully enjoyable time waster in its own right.

However, there are still issues that will hopefully get ironed someday:

- Limited to 4:3 aspect ratio...? In 2021...?
- Blurry text? Oh yeah, Bitmap text.
- Questionable cover image.
- No mobile controls!?!?


Well, that's it. Let me know if the game's fun enough, or not.
And feel free to throw suggestions!

Install instructions

Download the appropriate file for your system.
If you see four squares at the bottom left of your screen, download the "Windows" version".
If your computer has an Apple logo, download the MacOS version. Otherwise, Linux.

After downloading, open the file's folder, right click and use Extract All to extract it into an empty folder.

The downloadable files are astronomically large because it runs on a BROWSER EMULATOR of sorts (runtimes? Electron? I dunno). Because of security reasons, running the HTML5 version directly in Chrome/Firefox will not work.

On the other hand, fitting what's essentially Chrome into 50MB is pretty impressive...
