BTW, for anyone wondering what the vsauce reference is about, my game was featured here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_nHZ3YGT3w&feature=context-gfa :)

Functionality issue - the A key seems completely unresponsive and is useless unless W is pressed and held first. This creates a diagonal movement, but the square still cannot simply move left with the A key. The arrow keys function fine. Overall a good game. Some polish and fixing of the aforementioned issue or key choice done by the user would be a good addition.

Thank you all for your support. This game is now the second highest rated Stencyl game on Kongregate :D, only topped by its sequel.

i think that you should make a bigger game or have someone help you with a bigger game and use this as a minigame inside of that for a way to make money for the length that you survived
Good idea. I may use it inside of another game someday. For now, as I learn how to use Stencyl, will be making more of these minigames, so that is a definite possibility.
Took me about a year to find a way to get a system to automatically notify me of new comments. Before then, I had to manually go through all of my programs (this is one of over a dozen) to see if there were new comments. My philosophy is that if you care enough to leave a comment, then I should care enough to respond :).

Simple game but fun. Good time-waster. Easy-to-Understand. Just the game i was looking for. I enjoyed it. :D. I just wish I saw this a little sooner.
I'm glad you like it :). If you check my profile, you can find all 8 games I've made thus far (hoping to release the 9th on Friday). In fact, this game has a sequel, The Lonely Square (see link in game news). If you want to be notified when I make a new game, please just let me know, and I'll add you to my PM list :).
Thanks to you and the other comments, I do have some ideas floating around for version 2.0 (which will be a new game entirely)... I won't share the details though in case it doesn't work out.

Enjoyed it when you first showed it to me, and still it enjoy it 3 years later. I'll always be a fan of the simplicity of this game and it's addictive gameplay. Keep doing what you do.
I'm glad you're still enjoying it :). There are some other simple games I've made too. The latest game I've helped with is "Inject", which has just gone live in the iTunes store.

You could make a mode where you control two squares at once, one with WASD and the other with arrows. And I like the idea of it being a mini-game within the game. By the way, I just started with Stencyl too. I've only made one game and it kinda sucks but I'm working on two more and I'm getting the hang of it!
Brooks, there is a two-player mode in my second game, The Lonely Square. I am planning to have all parts of my third game have the option of 2-player. Also, you may want to check out my tutorials on Stencyl if you are just getting started. I have two completed so far. The first is here: http://www.kongregate.com/games/Abigayl/stencyl-tutorial-first-game

Yay,I got all blue high scores(I like blue..)!Still nice,simple,definitely addictive on my part.I've been playing this for hours. 4/5 Hell I'll even through in a smiley.. -> :D
Glad you liked it! I have lost some about an hour myself to it (for fun, not testing). It's definitely addictive :P. Thanks for the 4!
BTW, MX just beat you out in every score ;)

Well - There is not much to learn in Stencyl. I would say if someone really want to make games with Flash. Learn AS3.
Aye, AS3 is the better way. What people don't realize is that you can use and learn AS3 in Stencyl. My games require additional codes not found native in Stencyl, so I have had to broaden into AS3 for parts. Still keeps the primary coding much faster though. It's a tool to be used, not to be depended upon (as I have seen many do).

I like this game it is simple but fun to play, gameplay is good, plus i like the fact that you actually respond to everyones comments - it shows u care :)
Thanks, a lot of the comments have actually been included in my new game, which will hopefully be coming out in a month or so... I'm still tweaking it ;)

I think that there should be an option to toggle speeds along with the "Hold" option. My pinky gets a bit tired around 4000 points. Addicting game though... Nice job.
I have realized that for the next game. In this new one, the standard speed will be the current fastest speed since I realized most of us would play it like that. Sorry about your pinky :(
UPDATE: Now the previous fastest speed is the normal speed. Hope your pinky has healed :).

Cool game, but as a suggestion i think it would be much cooler if you would make some levels with different mazes whilst you still had to avoid the balls.
And (maybe) you could start a story, because the title says last square standing, but there arent any other squares than the one you control, so maybe you could make a story that included other squares than the actual one (the one you control) :)
I have thought of expanding it to include mazes, still unsure how it would work out though. Also, I still don't get the idea of having other squares, since it is THE last square standing (implying all the others are dead or otherwise missing)...

For what the game is, it is fun. I would recommend instead of updating this version, make more fun minigames that are different and create a compilation of fun mini games. That's something I would play.
I am planning on figuring out why the API isn't working (I do have a highscore function set, but it's not coming up), but besides that, I don't plan on really updating unless I re-release it at a later point.

FYI, please read the instructions if you feel the square moves too slowly. I have three different speeds setup so you can choose your preference :)

PLEASE NOTE: I am no longer going to be checking on the comments for this game. If you have a comment, please send me a PM instead, else it might be a long time before I can get back to you. Please + this so others can see it too. Thank you.
The music was made specifically for this game. If you play my second game ("The Lonely Square") and go into the extras area, you can find the name of the person who made it (and a link to his/her site... I forget who it was).

I HAVE TO GET FIRST PLACE ALL TIME LEVEL 3 LEADERBOARD AND I WILL NOT STOP PLAYING IT UNTIL THEN! oh and here is a trick press p repeatedly for pauses so it is easier to see where everything is going and creator if you want to fix make the screen go black after pause then unpause normal. Anyways 4/5 could be better if there were more modes but i might not be most people.
Mode 3 was my favorite too ;). I won't take out the pausing trick as it's not overly useful IMO but can give an edge to those dedicated enough to use it. It's just like being able to snake in Mario Kart; it's something that takes dedication to learn how to do well and thus should be allowed to separate those who have been playing for ages to those who haven't. As for more modes... why not try The Lonely Square? That's the sequel to this game, and it has a storyline, achievements, a shop, and even the ability to make your own levels :D.

In mode 2, do the circles try to chase you? If not, a good mode 4 would've been that (even though as you said you can't implement that :( darn...) 5/5 Good job and I love these type games!
Nope, it's totally random. If it had been completed, "The Other Circle" (the third in the trilogy after "The Lonely Square") was going to have enemies that chased you.

Are you going to make any new games soon? I am so excited I have been waiting for like a year and i really cant wait until like some kind of sequel comes out!
Check out my profile. I have quite a few other games, including The Lonely Square, which was made as a much expanded sequel to this game. There are also an additional three games not on this profile but rather my new profile, 0_Tuo_0. Besides The Lonely Square and this game, none of my games have done amazingly. I'm great with simple games, but the more in-depth they become, the worse they seem to become. Go figure.

I love this game, it represents an element of simplicity but requires the skill to dodge through hazards and try to survive, an easy way to get a 5 Star rate.
