About XETTER 2020
In this action-puzzle game, your goal is to clear each scene by collecting all the dots. There are 30 unique scenes to conquer.You control the main character using either a keyboard, controller, or on-screen joystick. Navigate the stage, avoid enemies, and use blocks strategically to survive.Two types of enemies chase you relentlessly. If they catch you, you lose a life. However, you're not defenseless—by pushing blocks and dropping them from above, you can crush enemies. Be careful though: if you're crushed by a block yourself, you'll also lose a life.Each scene has a time limit. If time runs out, you lose a life. Lose all your lives, and it’s game over.You can restart the current scene at the cost of one life using the \ button, or return to the title screen using the \ button.Once you clear a scene, it becomes available for selection from the title screen. Use the \ and \ buttons to choose a previously cleared scene, and use \ or \ to move the position of the on-screen buttons for comfort.Can you clear all 30 scenes and master every challenge?Additional Controller and Keyboard Functions

I feel bad about this one. In principle, this is a nice little game, are charming throwback to Boulder Dash and the like. Cute visuals, simple premise, a neat little free indie game. But. There is a problem that happen in all game development, but especially solo indie development; the people making it know the mechanics so intimately, and have playtested it so many times, that they lose all perspective of how difficult they're making it, and release something waaaay harder than they realise (or, at least, where the difficulty is only reasonable if you have intimate knowledge of the mechanics). Sadly, that's the case here. 30 stages? You'll be lucky to beat 2. Beating the levels often involves getting enemies somewhere you can drop a box on them... But if you're any kind of distance away they just kinda stutter-step about in random directions. Get close enough, and you can lure them close... But you don't [i]need[/i] them to come to you, you need them to go [i]under[/i] you. "Well fine, lure them lower down and then get out of range!". They move as fast as you; once they're on your tail, you're done. It's a shame, because I can't really think of a good fix that doesn't involve…1 found this helpful
