Neat! I was a bit confused by the glass as it's invisible and also can't be placed in / replace sand, water etcetera. But managing to get more than three elements out of this is very cool.
Thank you!
Brings good memories since I'm a long time fan of Dust(always thought it was called Powder Game lol). I'm even feeling inspired to try and develop my own version of it. Though I hope the inspiration ceases soon enough because I got more important things to do.
I'm glad I was able to aid in the nostalgia! I heavily referenced this video and this Noitda dev video for the particle system. You can actually get an MVP running with very little code. Let me know if you undertake this!
I love these types of sandbox games! The way water flows is super relaxing, I spent longer playing than I thought I would. It would be really cool to add more element types, if you can somehow get around the color limitations :) I like what you did with lava using 2 colors, maybe other elements could also mix colors? Or maybe do some kind of palette cycling?
Anyways, fantastic game, thanks for making it!
Thank you for your kind comment! I'm really glad you enjoyed playing it! I'm planning on adding more types like an invisible flammable gas, or living elements like fish (keeping track of them here) -- but yes I'm limited by the colors! Besides that, the sky's the limit.
Palette cycling is a good idea, I'll have to experiment more with this; I might need some advice on getting around the color limitations.
Some Gophers just want to see the world burn. So: Lava it is!
Not sure it can be called a complete game but it really cool!
Nice game, i spent a lot of time just for this.
