Block is a simple, but pretty looking side scrolling strategy style game. A nice papercraft design works really well for the overall cutsie theme of the game. The gameplay itself provides a decent challenge, since you never know if/when an enemy will attack you.
Good job on this, dev. It's pretty well done for two days of work.
Thank you for playing Block! We're always happy to see other people enjoying our game, the same way we enjoyed making it. It's also good to know that we got most of our points in terms of design and influences across, since we only had a couple days to make it. Regarding the Cape, it prevents the ranged enemies from attacking when you aren't moving around or attacking, but they'll still go through their cycle (the little animation they do when they fire), so you can use that to dodge their attacks more easily. Lastly, there's no formal end to the game, as you correctly guessed. You decide at which point you want to stop playing and save your score, since the theme of the Jam was "He who has the most, has even more fear of losing it". So your score is gone if you die without saving, and at the same time, you can't continue that run if you save.
