Great simple game, theres no need to overcomplicate to do this great and engaging games. First time I did it didnt knew the blocks rotate, so the last one to get a nice score, toppled over cause it crashed with the one below. Went down hill from there and only got a 76. Anyway been playing for a while now, rly good game.
I really enjoyed this game and it goes to show how simple concepts can be the most fun. The game is very re-playable too because you want to get as close a match as possible and so you will try again and again. I think that you should play a more satisfying sound effect when you match individual squares more closely, this is great feedback for the player and will increase engagement. Well done, this is really good!
Most times I obsessed over this kind of details, but I didn't even consider making a different sound the closer you get to matching the block. I think it would be a great indicator and also give you a better satisfaction factor when playing, like when you press a button or close a door. If you don't get that clicky sound, you know that something is just not right, so I'll keep it in mind.
In the beginning, the game was supposed to randomly generate the structures, so it will just be and infinite game, making you play for a high score, so the replayability would be even greater, but time constraints for submitting it to the jam make me focus on things about the core mechanics, like the matching blocks' system (The thing that gets how similar the blocks are to the shape in the background), so I'll update the game soon to add a few of these things.
Thanks for playing it ;3
Very nice, too bad there is only one shape. Besides, it would also have been nice to have a button to be able to reload.
Thanks a lot, it was fun to make.
The thing about multiple shapes is that sometimes you might miss a block making you wing the rest of the blocks to match, sometimes makes it harder to get the good enough, and I imagine that more than one shape might make the game even harder, but maybe this is just due to a poor implementation, so I'll keep it in consideration.
Also, the replay button is definitely a must-have in this type of game. I just spent most of my time trying to figure out the matching blocks' system (For getting the similarity between the block and the shape and the background), so I was left with little to no time for solving some sneaky bugs. So basically, I ran out of time.
But thanks for playing it, I'll update it in the future to add the replay button :)
