A simple game, made with Stencyl, and you made it so well! So much shit has been pumping out of Stencyl that I thought no one cared to give a game any thought.
Thanks. I'm trying to prove that good games can be made with Stencyl since so much indeed is shovelware. My next game might have a shot at badges, depending on its reception, but right now I need to find a sponsor first.

whichever version you can crash into (it happened to me w/ the pink circle), it was horrible watching the it bounce around afterward after my thousands of previous attempts. But it did get rid of my rage, so it wasn't all bad.
Oh... never had that happen to me (except in Last Square Standing, where it can happen to basically anything in the game :P). Will keep an eye out for issue like that in future releases (I no longer have this base file since I cleaned out my computer :( )
Which version? There's two completely different versions of the level 7 dialogue, depending on whether or not you got the pink circle in all the previous levels or not. ;)

@Abigayl What about having the enemies already there before you start the level? there don't spawn any new ones and it becomes easier/possible to predict enemy movements.
Also, for strategy: enemies with different abilities? like simple enemies that just shoot or chase you, to more complex enemies which can spot you and force all enemies to you or maybe spawn (a limited amount) of new enemies!
I don't know, these are just examples of what I would like to see in the second version of this game. Thanks for responding to my comments!
Unfortunately, the sequel was lost in a computer malfunction a while ago. In it though, I did have enemies that chase you. I will think on those other ideas. Thanks :)

5/5, really enjoyed playing it. Beautiful yet amazingly simple, nice little motif at the end! But, why reach for the sky when there are footprints on the moon..?

the circles spawn right next to you and are sometimes extremly fast. I found completing levels based on luck instead of skill/strategy. which I feel are very important in a game.
Generally speaking, the circles don't spawn right next to you (at least not when they begin spawning). That being said, in the next game (when I get back to making it), there's a red marker where circles come out from, which should help. Yes, there is a decent amount of luck in getting the right timing of the circles, but several levels rely more heavily on fast moving (i.e. maze, key, bomb, and door levels). There isn't a lot of strategy since this is more of an action game, but there is skill in quick reflexes and moving quickly through levels. If you have an idea for increasing the strategy, let me know.

lots of people seem to like it for it's story, but the game in itself is very bad. The spawning system could use some work and even on easy it's very hard to dodge the circles. (what do the modes do? less/more spawning?)
3/5, only for story, level design and concept
3/5, but only for the story and concept.
I don't get your comment. What would you improve about the spawning? Easy mode is supposed to be "easy"... The difficulties increase spawning rates, but that's about it. If you can be more clear about what you didn't like, then I can do better in the future ;). Glad you liked the story though.

I like the game. Clean simple and with a story. Perhaps you could had some colisions instead of just increasing number of enemies. And don't know if you want to continue this game (like the lonely square 2) you could had like shooting like in your tutorials ;).
Aye, cake was a last-minute addition, after the other 3 had been programmed... so I needed an "easier" sound than "easy"... and I figured a cake joke couldn't hurt :D
If you take the time to write a comment, I should take the time to respond. That's my stance anyways. Besides, I appreciate comments. They let me see what your thoughts are on my games. Because of comments, games have been radically changed over the months. This game is not nearly the game I first published ;)

all in all good game could use somw tweaks and abigayl hey you have me still muted but i have some ideas for a game and well
Even with all of my beta-testing, when this first came out, there were several issues with it. The game has gone through a ton of updates. Unfortunately, Kongregate only puts badges on NEW games that do well, not old ones that have been updated to the point to where now they are good. Thanks for your support though :)

wow at the end it makes me feel so relaxed I LOVE the art it is soooooooooooooo good this must of taken you awile to make I LOVE IT!!!
If you click on the Menu, it takes you to a bunch of further options. One of which is the credits page, where you can find the links to all the artists who helped out :). The ending itself was done by Allexia from DeviantArt.

that was an exceptional in it's own right. the story line was certainly.... interesting. i haven't yet unlocked the alt ending (im working on it) but how exactly does a human get magically transformed into a square and gets stuck in a white room with other squares and a door taunting them to leave? i mean, perhaps the point is that there is none, but a random human turned into a square in a world inhabited by evil circles..... keep up the fresh ideas and make more :)
Thanks! The project started off as just an expansion of my minigame, but I wanted a lite storyline to go with it. Then, I got to thinking that if the characters could talk, why not make them human in the end? As for why he started off in the room or how he got there... tis a story for another time. There is indeed a backstory, but in case I can use it later on, don't want to reveal it now.
It's a rather large game, and I made it before understanding some tricks to keep the size down. If your computer or internet is slower, it may take some time to load :(
It takes checking the game every day (which there was some system to auto-notify me of a comment), but I like to read what people have to say about my games, both good and bad. It's the best way I know of to improve.
I get some minor lag too... it's something I've been trying to solve for a long time. I'm pretty sure it's to do with the Kongregate API submissions... dunno for sure though.
lol, thanks. I think that is the first time I have gotten a 5 for my rather pathetic title choicing :P. EDIT: This is now a top-rated comment? Lots of people like the title???

Nice game but there's a bug. In survival, When you click "Survive" without selecting a character, The game starts normally but there's no character involved in the survival mode (It's not appearing)
You do realize that there are a ton of in-game achievements and a shop that uses those achievements to unlock customization, right? ;) Thanks for the 5 :)
The game is very large, so it might take a long time to load... if it doesn't load at all, can you tell me your specs so I can try to figure out what is going on.
Aye, one of the reasons for making my tutorials is to show people how to start with something basic and grow on it, just like what I did to change Last Square Standing into this (and soon this into my next game, The Other Circle). Thanks for the 5! :D
You can find the meaning in the boss battle dialogue. The point is to not let the norms of the world control you but instead decide your life for yourself :)
Not every game is about graphics. Games are about gameplay. That said, if you look carefully though, you may be surprised with some of the effort I put into doing the graphics, like the lava that actually moves or the moving electricity in the walls on level 3.
