Avoider, an awesome game where you dodge a path of never-ending black squares. You are green square, a little naive square that is green, and you just want to go home and eat spaghetti with your two children Bob and Jenna and your lovely wife Susanne (Storyline is not given but is shown subtly.)
Use left and right keys to move left and right, respectively. Collect tan hearts to gain lives, and avoid the black squares. Avoid the blue squares as they are especially deadly, killing you by 2 lives. R to reset, and space shoots lasers at the cost of 100 points. You gain points for every black square that touches the bottom. It is statistically possible to play forever, but I’ll leave that up to you.

No bugs here! Reminds me of the old Flash game “Cube Field”.

Ah yes I remember that game! Of course, most of it was spent with my hand on my chin. Still, I liked it!

It got a little bit boring towards the end. You could do some patterns, and increase speed as a function of time. Or you could let the player choose, as you do.

I think you should develop this game, could be cool with items to collect, powerups and so on. Would consider making something like this myself.

These type of games are quite popular on Android, like the 3D looking running game where you dodgy carts etc.
