I would like to share the bigger picture why TrapThem has been created:
In the long run one big goal of mine is to create a "metroid-rethought". It is an original game taking the roots of metroid but expanding them to its own thing. However I want to add new mechanics and deeper repercussions to the game. In order to do that properly I decided to elaborately study the qualities of these mechanics in separate projects. One of them is TrapThem:
Here the focus is on new block-mechanics. In contrast to the game Boulder Dash you now have the complete control about where the boulder will collapse, it is not pre-baked to certain locations. In addition the boulder is sticky and will connect to its neighbor-blocks when it is resting. It might sound hard to understand on the first read but once you take a glance at some footage you will see it is fairly intuitive.
Now with new mechanics comes a new universe to explore, and that is what TrapThem sets out to do. By now I can confidently say the amount of variety and depth of play TrapThem can generate in a tiny space is astounding. In the end its valuable results will carry over to other bigger projects. Meanwhile I hope TrapThem gets the attention it deserves.
TrapThem is intended to be a complete game by release, from beginning to the end. Every finite gameplay detail has been spent a lot of attention. The gameplay will get pretty technical and demanding. Grow in its system, develop more and more ideas and techniques to solve the challenges.

Here is a short impression:
Roadmap:
There will be smaller side projects in the future since I am considering to get into android and playstation mobile development. But after the release of TrapThem-RC the work on big projects like Super Metroid Tournament will start. Interested will follow it on the SMTac youtube page until announced otherwise:

There might be some of you on the fence with this. TrapThem is now included in the indieroyale bundle together with 7 other games, which is dirt cheap.
