Guys, swap links

yamifive 2018-08-14 22:25

It's really nice, but I think that at some point speed falling cubes rise too quick

Hello! I think it might help you get ratings if you tell windows users they need to get the zip file from the git page or just link directly to it! The link says html5 but also has windows binaries. Anyway I really like this. Reminded me of some old match-3 puzzle games like columns or dr mario but 3D instead of 2d. Your choice of music was really good and added to the suspense and mood (But tbh I dont think you should ask for a rating if you didn't compose and record it yourself). Good idea for the theme and cleverly done for some quick fun. Nice job! -RS

Hey, i like the concept of this game. Is very simple to play and its fun too. Love it. But you should swap the links.

This game fits the theme perfectly, and is very enjoyable to play - especially with the music fitting the game perfectly. The craziness of later parts of the game make it the most enjoyable to play as it becomes more frantic and difficult to position and rotate the cubes into the correct position. I like the art style although a different background would give the game more visual depth however at its current state it is great.

I felt this game was more comedic than serious but at the same time i couldnt help but think '**** those blocks!' and try to beat the game XD. i enjoyed it i liked the interpretation of a tetris like game.

Man, I'm bad at this! Great concept, and it works very well. It wasn't clear to me right away that only the top sides can match, maybe they can be greyed out a bit or something like that? For me, the game accelerated too fast, I couldn't do really do anything way before the end of the game. Control-wise, maybe the right mouse button could also switch between rolling and sliding?

george-lancaster 2018-08-14 23:30

I fixed that backward link and added the windows zip link as well.

george-lancaster 2018-08-14 23:33

I put the quick move rotate toggle on the space bar, and I should have placed it on the right mouse button as well.

I'm so bad at tuning games. I play what I make a lot, and I'm not sensitive to nonexperts. Something to work on for the next challenge.

Decent game, took a second to get the controls but is fun. Would make for a great cell phone game

wowa 2018-08-15 19:13

Hahaha this is great! The hall of the mountain king fits strangely perfectly to the game, good choice!

ryanjavanshir 2018-08-16 14:29

Nice little game you got here. A bit of a pain to keep clicking the box to change the move mechanic, maybe map this to a mouse click. Other than that, great job!

oskarolausson 2018-08-16 15:02

cool game, like the idea of surviving until the music ends, @ryanjavanshir you can use space bar. You should probably not be in audio since you did not make the music I think

go-out-gaming 2018-08-16 21:34

I love the use of classical music. The game is great. I love the 3d blocks, but sometimes they blocked my view. I wish I could make the blocks see through or move the camera.

wrenpirate 2018-08-22 21:21

Oof! This game went by fast! Things got a lot better after I read the directions about toggling between roll and push. I was thinking limiting the cube faces to two or three designs would help me predict the rolling better, but push/roll helped. The music definitely motivates me (raises my anxiety), but did you create this recording or borrow it from some site like Kevin Macleod's freebie music? I'll revise my audio rating if it's an original recording of the Mountain King.

stefan-jovanovic 2018-08-24 22:15

Really good and challenging puzzle! I like that you used "In the Hall of the Mountain King" as the music, really gives it the game dramatic feel! Keep up the good work! :smile:

bog13 2018-08-24 22:32

Great experience, but regular game. I love the way the music speed up while the cube fall quicker.

bbaf 2018-08-27 04:22

The nice and dynamic game with a solid gameplay! In case if you plan to create some post-jam version I would like to see some ability to tweak the levels of transparency for the cubes. This may be very handy to see combinations that are hidden from the player. Or at least - add some camera control. Also, a cube may get stuck in a half-rotated pose if you change the mode during the rolling. I don't know is it a bug or a feature. :smile:

Nevertheless, great entry for the jam!

Found it a bit hard at first, but nice idea dude. Keep up the good work ^^b

I am getting "The Witness" vibes!
