About Obstacles: Gems of Power
Obstacles is a thoughtful and tactical bullet hell where everything only moves when you move. Pick between one of six different player characters and try for a high score!Three things will increase as you collect gems; your score, your streak, and the number of obstacles in the game! As your streak rises your score will increase more and more rapidly, but be careful! If you get hit by an obstacle your streak will reset to zero.Each player character has their own special ability, Blue can reverse the direction of obstacles, Green is sturdier and has more health, Pink can teleport to her heart, Cyan lets there be more gems on the screen, Purple gets a random ability from every other colour, and Red can summon friendly obstacles to help out.

This is one that probably gets a quick glance over unless you're into some old DOS or Nintendo games. A small game made by an extremely small team with some potential for a serious puzzle game. I did receive this game for free so bear with me and my review as we unpack this one. The [b]gameplay[/b] is fairly simplistic. Pick a character (or different coloured square with a different "special" ability) and collect a specific item to progress to the next "level". Sort of like Tetris, the more of the item that is collected means that the game becomes more difficult. The game starts out with the character cube, an item to pickup / collide with, and a single spike looking object. Whenever the player moves (even slowly or slightly) means that the game continues to move, or play. This allows time for the player to figure out a path safely to move their character in order to pick up the object. For each item picked up results in another spike object being launched at the player. They are launched in a grid like fashion and the character as well is [b]controlled[/b] in a grid like 8 direction scheme. The game is fun, initially, and the movement of danger coinciding with the movement of …5 found this helpful

Defo biased since I'm friends w/ the dev but good game, I like the different characters abilities. The gameplay difficulty ramps up quite fast and it's honestly a lot harder than it seems like it would be. It's a fun challenge to try to keep moving constantly so you never catch a break, but the game certainly isn't made for that and you'll quickly become overwhelmed if you're not stopping to plan out a path. Though maybe if you're some crazy mega-cracked touhou veteran or smth you'd manage it lmao1 found this helpful
Good game! Easy to learn, but takes effort to master. The way obstacles stop when the player does allows time to consider how to approach what the game throws you; this has not stopped me from crashing directly into the obstacles lmao.1 found this helpful
Not a bad game at all. Well I've only played it for half an hour and I seem to be absolutely ass, but not a bad game at all.
