I didn't like the survival mode much, but the puzzle mode was very nice <My Allegro projects> |

Really nice game, very polished. I also prefer the puzzle mode. Maybe with some carefully designed puzzles it would be more interesting. Oh, and I liked the random hat detail.

I do agree about the puzzle mode thing. I think it has potential, kind of like the puzzle mode in Bejeweled or such. But that being the only mode wouldn't have fitted within the random rule or the laziness one(maybe with giving clues). BTW, there's a kind of "level editor", I just didn't document it at all. The level#.txt on the data folder are the 10 levels for the puzzle mode. Quote:

The first 12 lines repesent the blocks with their ids. Line #13 is the width of the arena. Line #14 is the number of moves. If anyone wants to play with it, there you go. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

I found the number of moves kinda... confusing. Sometimes I would do some action I thought would be a move, and it didn't decrease. How exactly does it work? <My Allegro projects> |

The move is considered when you destroy a block. Pushing is free. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

Yes. I was planning on playing the survival mode again to get the rules figured out. |

Matthew Leverton said: I tried to like this game ... but I think I don't get how to play the game. I think I overload the player with too much information(too much to learn, and barely anything explained), tho if you don't try to understand it at all you might be just fine pushing and destroying around(hence the laziness rule) If you want to give it another try though, the mechanics are pretty simple.
That's all about triggering. I thought leaving it to the player to find out on his own would be enough, but it's not intuitive enough(a good example of intuitive is Mark's game; crash once, and you know the effects already) Combos are just when after destroying a block, 2 blocks of the same type are next to each other after falling because a block below was destroyed. The first stage in the puzzle mode is the best example for it IMO. All that info is just too much I guess, but all feedback is good. I just think that survival mode shouldn't start so soon with the stage events and give you more time to experiment with just colored blocks. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

I think playing puzzle mode is a good introduction into the arcade/survival mode; That's how I played it. ---- |

Awesome game If you play it for long enough, you do figure out how it works. I did. Some combination of trying things out and reading the hints did the job. What's lacking is a non-punishing environment to do it in. Avoiding floor spikes early in the game might be enough. Another possibility is to start with not all the block types enabled and then enable them later. I think it can appeal to two audiences at once: smart players who can figure it out and create fancy combos, and players who simply enjoy the sensation of blowing stuff up. Maybe I'm both. By the way, was this meant to happen? {"name":"wall-laser.png","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/0\/9\/09b423ce6af290beac71bcf52a4f4a80.png","w":1280,"h":960,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/0\/9\/09b423ce6af290beac71bcf52a4f4a80"} -- |
