interesting gameplay, I like this game

roman-petrov 2018-08-14 19:03

Funny game! Hello from Russian Defold community in Telegram. I'd be happy if you also rate our game :)

That AI is brutally fast! No way I could beat it with a trackpad, but maybe a mouse. Good game, good polish!

cheetah 2018-08-14 22:15

Simple but fun gameplay with a nice graphics. I had a hard time to beat AI on trackpad, but finally i had luck to occupy last tile free on my side with a bomb, and AI just stopped and watching how i win.

I think this would be pretty fun against a human opponent, but man is this AI tough. I played with a mouse, but found it almost impossible to match it's speed. I think the AI could benefit from a difficulty setting.

I like the sabotage item, and I think it would be cool to add even more. Especially if you make a 2 player mode. Good work!

@cheetah I fixed this bug

Thank you all for your feedback!

It took me a while to just win one game x) This AI sure is fast ^^ I guess it's easier on android though. A multiplayer mode could be fun too ! It was simple but perfectly integrated into the theme with nice music

laminariy 2018-08-15 00:01

@deprecat @inferture You can play with friends on android version!

Nice looking game, It seems funny but the AI is just too good at this game, I had no option. Losed miserably everytime.

trocentraisin 2018-08-15 00:13

Good potential but the AI is way too fast. Also, I'm not fan how RNG plays such a big role (the opponent can get 3 bombs in a round, while you don't get any)

flubz 2018-08-15 01:56

Great game had fun with it, add more strategy there tho! :smile:

joh 2018-08-15 02:56

Awww, So much potential! Simple, to the point, looks nice, fits theme and fun! It only lacks in mechanics really, I read you wanted to add more boxes and that would be key really. At this point its like a speed race (and Ai too good!!!) and already fun. I can only imagine with added depth & strategy. I'll support that RNG seemed flawed for this type of game, should be mirror match. I also think being able to move boxes from both side could be beneficial. (take away bomb from your field, return box in opponent field). Quickest fix would be more bombs, shouldnt be matches without bombs, they "shake things up" from pure speed battle. (and are the only reason I ever won.)

Great game. Worth exploring further.

AI is way too fast! And bomb appearance seems too random.

But still, nice little game. I really like the visual.

Nice simple game with clean graphics and is fun to play but I couldn't beat the AI so I tried the android version too. I dont really understand how I'm supposed to play against someone if our hands are constantly getting in the way of one another but I didn't actually test it with another person so it might not be as hard as I imagine. maybe to prevent hand blocking the spawning platforms could be placed at the top and bottom of the screen instead of on the opposite side from where they are to be placed. I had also hoped I would still be able to play against the ai on the android version because it would probably be easier.

Otherwise, I agree with most of joh's suggestions and think that it would be quite a fun mobile game if expanded upon.

Made with Defold! 8)

flaterectomy 2018-08-16 06:25

A solid basic concept, but I couldn't beat the AI. I got a draw once, and that's it. 😅 Some ramping up of difficulty starting with easy would have kept me playing a little longer.

The graphics are simple but suit the type of game, and music is a cheerful tune.

All in all, quite nice!

nam-nguyen 2018-08-17 20:01

Omg this is so addictive. The red bot is sooo fast yet I keep wanting to beat the hell out of it. At one point this really has a vibe of a rage game, because the bot is tooo fast. You know what makes this game addictive? Its all reflexes-based so players know they WILL be better at the game and might stand a chance of beating the bot. So I play your game and I even forgot time, it was that addictive. An eternity later, I eventually was still beaten by the bot. Then I came to a conclusion: this IS a rage game. Reallyyyy?

I mean, GJ haha. I really enjoyed the game, I really think you should make another local multiplayer mode, this would be very very fun to play with friends!

tekugare 2018-08-17 22:21

I could feel the love you put into your game. I like the base concept, but maybe the game would flow better if players were trying to fill up their own space, and place bombs on their opponents space. The AI was pretty hard, and I had to carefully place a box down or it wouldn't count! Anyways, I'm pretty happy with it though, good job. Thank you!

ryfi 2018-08-18 02:33

I enjoyed the game but I feel like there is so much more the game could of had. It's quite simple for a Jam game but it was fun.

jokku 2018-08-18 07:06

I really like those graphics and the polished gameplay! Good to see you made a opponent to play against for those of us how don't have friends to play with :)

thibaultar 2018-08-24 10:48

Interesting! I like the gameplay, could be really fun in multiplayer :p

Maybe the AI is too fast, I didn't win even one time ahah ! The problem is that it didn't wait for a second ^^

In any case, I like this game anyway ! :)

tornquist 2018-08-25 20:21

As others have said, the AI is hard. Especially on a laptop with a trackpad. Even with a mouse, it's still really fast. The graphics were nice though.

leodesigaux 2018-08-28 15:15

AI a bit hard but nice graphics, nice sounds fx! i like the little squiz animations too! nice work!

jens 2018-08-28 17:59

Took me a couple of tries to win :D fun game with nice sound. Well done!

squid 2018-08-29 20:13

Good looking game. Its a frantic sort of fun!

bbapps 2018-08-30 01:30

Was a fun challenge to try and beat the AI. Love the art too

cristihkj 2018-08-30 16:42

Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D

anlaxix 2018-08-30 19:56

Nice thats was fun to play, great job ;p

wowbagger 2018-08-30 23:48

I feel like it needs one more game mechanic. At this point you kind of just rely on getting a bomb when the AI doesn't. I guess it just feels very RNG based. Anyways good work, it plays smoothly, looks great, and the audio is nice too. Hopefully this LD was a good leanring experience, I bet you do something really cool next time.
