A downloadable Grid Master for Windows

Backstory

You are a sentient cube, being hunted by other sentient cubes and your only goal is to survive as long as you can.

Controls

W - Move forward

S - Move backward

D - Move to the right

A - Move to the left

Left Mouse Button + W/A/S/D = Attack

Right Mouse Button + W/A/S/D = Aerial Attack

Gameplay

Sentient cubes in the game move at the same time, including you.   At first, you (and all the other cubes) can only move once per second. However, as time flies by the speed of the game increases slowly, which means you and all the other cubes can move faster and faster with each passing second. The enemies always try to move close to you and if they manage to touch you while you are either moving or still, you die. But don't worry, you can kill them too!

You can attack by holding down the Left Mouse Button and press W, A, S, or D when it's time to move. The direction of the attack is determined by what key you press (W, A, S, or D), so if you press A while holding down LMB, you attack to the left and if you press W, you attack forward, and so on. If you manage to hit an orange cube while attacking, you kill it and score a point. They just keep on coming so you should definitely keep on killing them.

The red cubes are a little bit trickier though, they have spikes on their sides so you can't kill them like the orange ones, you must jump on them instead. The aerial and ground attacks both move you 3 tiles in any direction, so when the time is right you can jump on the red cubes by using the aerial attack. Keep in mind though, the red cubes move at the same time as you, so jumping on them when they are 3 tiles away from you may not be such a good idea...

Both attack methods have cooldowns though, sadly. You must wait for 3 turns until you can use a specific attack maneuver again, so keep that in mind!

Hope you like the game and thank you for reading this very important message!

Peace!
