Especially if you got to levels 6,7,8 of the new release you'll see that there's a lot going on. I think the game is about 85% complete---I don't have an end boss yet---but it's getting there.
Here's my question: What do YOU tigpeeps think I should add next? I'll take your suggestions here! I'm definitely doing joystick support. What other ideas do people have?

it's fun, I like it.
though I'm pretty sure it generated me an unwinnable level 1. there were no colored blocks to steal color from that weren't hidden by those fences.

Did you search offscreen? On early levels it's often off to the side. I'll have to run more tests. Thanks for playing, Allen!

In fact, not only would I like to add a bit more content in terms of game objects/rules, but also I would like to introduce new objects a little more slowly. Right now the game feels a bit short, I think it would make sense to restructure a little.

yeah that's what I was thinking, because it felt like I started playing and a few seconds later I was at level 6.

Yes a bit more is needed to really flesh this out. I'll let you know when version 0.7 is out!

allen: what do you think of adding other items to be collected, like keys computer chips or something? i also had an idea for a shield powerup, but i'm not sure i want to include powerups at all.

How about these ideas i just added to my todo list? TODO free imprisoned white friendlies to open a white gate! escort friendly to exit right behind you TODO make moving blocks of selected color which sprout eyes and "meep" and run away. they don't die, but you have to chase them. they turn to white smileys when you grab the color. TODO extend game: do two levels at each difficulty level: one with three colors, one with four, introduce all the elements just a little more slowly.

Hi tigpeeps. I wrote a brief article about the game design and influences of 2x0ng, including a comparison with the original Xong: http://www.indiedb.com/games/2x0ng/news/what-is-2x0ng-all-about and I thought I would link it back to this thread, for those who wish to keep up with the next version. Thanks! hope you enjoy.

This release features numerous improvements, including: USB gamepad support, expanded level design with new enemies and objects, seventeen varied level "sets" to explore, new color schemes, and increased overall difficulty. This is a significant milestone for 2x0ng, because 0.7 shows the game nearly ready for beta testing. Virtually all gameplay elements are in place. What remains to be done is heavy playtesting, bugfixing, and additional fine-tuning. You can find the downloads at http://blocky.io/2x0ng.html
