What Block Steady Is
A breakneck minimalist platformer in which fast thinking along with quick reflexes are appreciated. The creation of gustav_k in the GMTK 2019 jam, Block Steady offers the players 16 levels packed with adrenaline into a tiny chunk of experience. Your role? Hop on the enemies to kill them, but every enemy killed causes their platform to slowly fade away. Keep collecting victorious certificates until the stage is all clear; otherwise, you plunge down below!
How To Play
- Move: Arrow keys or WASD keys.
- Jump: Spacebar to jump onto enemies.
- Objective: Clear all enemies before platforms vanish and leave you stranded.
- Survive: Time those jumps well; once the platform is gone, it's gone forever!
Tips and Tricks
- Think Ahead: Eliminate enemies in an order that will allow enough platforms to escape.
- Keep Moving: Find a safe position fast.
- Go for It: A missed jump will mean instant death!
