LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

All the World by Cosmologicon 2014-12-09T14:33:00

I like the change level idea. Really fun game.

At least I tried to fit all of it in one screen by GameDevKlingon 2014-12-09T05:10:00

404 Error.

Fun game only issue was after the second inning I hit a bug and it froze. Didn't effect the rating I thought the game was overall pretty snappy.

Game doesn't run even when I go full browser.

I know what happened here. We had the same bug. If you have Unity Pro and using the New UI. Create an empty scene that loads your first scene (The UI scene). It will fix that top 1/4 view took me an hour to get that bug fixed. @schuran

The web link to Kongregate doesn't seem to work, will try the windows version instead.

I wasn't completely sure what the purpose of the player was, since the robots seem to spawn in random places once purchased. Is the player supposed to be able to repair pixels themselves, or is that also a job exclusive to the robots?

A fun game, wish there were more levels though!

Block Party EGOS by schuranator 2014-12-09T05:10:00

Thanks for the feedback guys, we're definitely looking at expanding on the concept - including adding an AI, more world sizes for larger groups of players, more kinds of blocks etc.

Thanks all! We'll definitely make the control system easier to use with the next version, especially regarding the camera control. Please do criticize to your hearts content, all of your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks Frozen Fractal, the music is original but the one-shot SFX was pulled from FreeSound with about 30 minutes left on the clock :)

We tested the game with some colleagues and they echoed the same issues you did, and also suggested a ghost block mechanic. I'm personally thinking that with the one screen game mode (as opposed to say, true multi-player over LAN), it might be good to restrict the area in which subsequent shapes spawn which the camera can then focus on, and have the game gradually shift that area around the world.

Thanks very much for your feedback!

SIRTET by stray 2014-12-09T14:22:00

What a cool take on Tetris, I don't really have any criticism to level at it, since every feature worked quite intuitively.

Toytown by Frozen Fractal 2014-12-09T20:40:00

A really great game, although apparently my citizens don't care too much that I just demolished every single road in the city. We've gone Green!

It would be nice to be able to rebuild trees, although I can understand why that might not be allowed.

I was also briefly confused by the prices for items, I couldn't seem to find them anywhere.

I found it a little difficult to see where I could place new structures once the high-rises started coming.
