That's cool, also similar idea to a game I made some time ago for a lisp game jam

Your game is faster paced, I like it. One issue I noticed is that the red blocks can spawn right in front of your block, making it nearly impossible to avoid. Rage quit inevitable.

...I'm having a strange amount of trouble describing what I'm doing, but there's a strategy to avoid this that I got the hang of after a few rounds. Basically, you can't move too fast at the moment you're collecting the green squares.

Yea, that was an issue that I skipped over and never got around implementing a fair enemy spawn
