The main feature of this game is game mode creation. This feature allows you to craft your own gameplay experience, by changing most aspects of the game.
Explore 4 different levels, choose from 5 different types of enemies, define and modify their behavior as you wish and make your own personal hell or make a relaxing mode, where the enemies run away from you!
You can save, edit and delete these modes. Make and save as many as you'd like. You can also share the modes you created with your friends very easily. Just generate a code in the edit mode, share it with them, they paste it in their game's edit mode, press a button and voila! (It is intuitive enough but if there are any problems, tell me and I'll try to make it better for ya)

Block Out was featured on the latest episode of my #indiegame series #5MinuteswithanIndie
Loved the simple and clean gameplay, you made blocks feel and look like premium characters
You can check it out here:
Oh wow! Thanks, I'll be sure to check out the video!
Can we modify the controls ? I wanna play with my gamepad but I can't shot
You can't modify controls as of now. I'll add that in and gamepad support before the end of the week. Thanks for playing!
If you have any other complaints, feel free to share :)

Yo! It's done :)
Once again, I'm extremely sorry I took so long.
I'll be better.
The first few times I tried playing zombie mode, no enemies spawned in, but then it worked
Oh, Sorry about that. I'll look into it.
I've fixed this issue, I'm sorry it took so long. The update will be out in a couple of days.
