My entry for the game-builer 20 event game contest

Xtreme box + is a puzzle games which involves puzzling puzzles! You can mode in four directions and once you have chosen a direction, you are dedicated to that direction until you hit something.

There are numerous different blocks throughout the game:

Speed lock:
You will only be able to get across this block by moving atleast 1 block before moving through.
Direction block:
This block will only let you pass if you are travelling the direction it's pointing.
Movable block:
You are able to move this block by bumping into it! It can close off spike pits and other stuff.
Switch block:
The switch block will turn on/off switch blocks, allowing you go either go thorugh them or not.
Spike block:
This is the spike ball! It's a baddie, don't touch it or you'll DIE! There are also rotating spike poles.

Controls:
Arrow keys - move

Have fun =)

One of my favorites out of the entries I've tried so far (about 1/4 of 'em all). Just the kind of puzzling I like. Smiling

This would have been a nice game, but it's very buggy for me. I just have to press right, then down, and get stuck between two blocks. Now I can move in single steps for a while. Also, the character is a few pixels off the grid.

Gameplay – 10/20 - Great concept but playability destroyed by bugs (stucking with blocks - not pixel perfect engine).
General Professionalism – 5/10 - Presentation is great, but during gameplay lack of polish and testing appears.
Appropriate Graphics to the Game - 4/5 - They are quite good.
Appropriate Music and Sounds – 5/5 - Yeap that's it.
5 POINT BONUS Event: 0/5 - Some of frames are with no comments.
5 POINT BONUS Flash/Java: 0/5 - Some actions are not supported in either Java App or Applet.

Total 24/50 = 48% = 5*

Hmm, strange, I didn't notice any gameplay affecting bugs in the executable version, aside from the speed locks sometimes lagging. I wonder if people are using different versions to try these entries in or something? O.o

Oh well, like I said earlier, worked fine for me, and I enjoyed this game. Smiling

I didn't notice any bugs in the sense of getting stuck etc. I thought the game was great, except for the bonus level, that seemed really out of place.

While judging, we realized the bugs happen only if you run the game with Build 249. If you run it with 248, it runs fine.

I don't know why, but I keep thinking this is an XBox game Sticking out tongue

I wish I still had 248... hopefully it will be alright...

EDIT: Doesn't matter, I don't have the Key Object... But the description sounds incredibly close to Iceball, so it must be pretty good! (I mean, Iceball is the greatest game of all, second only to pixel arcade...)
