Run. Scale. Crush.

You are the yellow Cube Crusher. Your mission (surprisingly) is to crush everything in your path!

Run over enemies, smash through walls, and reach the finish line. Scale to destroy obstacles and take on bigger enemies. Do not let your speed drop to zero, or the run is over!

Objective

Reach the end of the run. Enemies and walls will stand in your way.

The finish is reached once enemies stop spawning.

Enemies and Obstacles

  • Crush enemies smaller than you.
  • Use your size and timing to defeat more dangerous opponents.
  • Watch out for spearmen and other threats.
  • Break destructible walls, but be prepared to lose resources.
  • Hit bomb enemies to gain speed!

Ground Slam

While airborne, the Cube Crusher can slam into the ground, crushing enemies and avoiding incoming damage.

Between Runs

Earn money during each run and spend it on upgrades.

Improve your starting and maximum speed, increase your mass capacity, gain additional Ground Slam charges, and upgrade other stats.

Cool game loop. Difficulty curve is tricky. I spent the first half the game thinking I had to use the A and D keys for something before I unlocked scaler.

I added to the game description that you need a Scaler to use the keys after your comment, thanks for playing!

Actually peak. It's so good

Thank you! 😘

Great job! super addicting.
Even with all the upgradesI can barely make it halfway though.

yeah, i should have worked on the balance more, but time was running out. Also thx for playing!
