This game was made by (ToastKitten) @TannerM for the GM48 game jam for it's 28th edition with the theme "Companion."


This game is heavily inspired by "Super Crate Box" by @Vlambeer. It's an iteration based on their unique scoring mechanic. If you enjoy this game in any capacity, please go check out the original. It's fantastic.

The source code is included for those interested. Note that this was during a game jam, so lot's of things are rushed/hot fixes!!!

HOW TO PLAY:
The title screen will load, and you can select "start" to begin a game. The green number on the bottom left is your high score, while the white number on the bottom right is the total number of boxes you've collected.

At any time in the game, there will be one box on the screen. Move yourself to the box. Touching a box will reveal another box somewhere on the screen. Touching a box will also give you a new companion! These companions will help you fight off bad slimes that are trying to kill you. Don't touch one, or it's game over! Falling off the bottom of the screen will kill you as well. Your companions can harm you in any way. They're your friends! Some companions are very powerful, but remember that your score is the number of boxes you get in a single round, and not how long you survive or how many enemies you kill. Good luck!
