Box Avoider

A dodging game with a twist! The boxes will bounce against everything, making it very unpredictable. Nowhere is safe!

Another simple game, reminiscent of the first web games. This time it's a keyboard-only game.

I played around with Unity's rigidbody physics in order to get some neat emergent effects in the game. The box bouncing makes for a very interesting game of trying to anticipate the bounces. Situations that look hopeless will usually have a gap or two due to how the boxes interact with each other.

I used rigidbodies for the player control as well, but the result wasn't as I had hoped. I wanted the player control to be more responsive and less 'acceleration' based, but I wasn't able to get the settings quite right.

Overall, unity's physics system is quite powerful. I'll have to study it more in order to learn how to control it better.
