I'm not sure how people have gotten under nine minutes. Even after copying the layout of a run under 11 minutes I could barely even get under 30 minutes. I must be missing something huge, but I can't seem to find it. It is just getting lucky with boxes?
Some patches were applied to prevent some of the unwanted behavior that gave some advantage on those layouts. ( not because of the advantage but because the game was not intended to work like that)
Scores will be reset soon just to have a better view of the recent patch updates.
PS: what was your score ? do you have a screenshot of your tactic ? i want to know !!!
I was playing the limited time map today and i got 22 ish.
292 days ago(+1)
I got to 10t at 29:30 and NaN at around 33:30 but I forgot to take a screen shot of the layout, It looked really nice though
Also if you don't mind I have a few ideas that might slightly improve the game.
an interesting idea could be to make a sandbox mode, where the player has infinite money, and can play around with different layouts, in order to make an efficient design.
I would also love to see a quicker way to upgrade things. It's a really small change, but just being able to shift click on a box and upgrade it, or double click, etc, would be a really nice addition.
hi, you can indeed double click ! it’s in the tutorial but it’s not so visible :)
and a sandbox mode is tempting … i’ll see what i can do , it’s also good for development as well!
at the moment the plans are to improve e the after game, where you can see what you built and when , and also analysis on the performance. (it’s a bit tricky due to the huge numbers and the difference in magnitude ahah)
i have some ideas on other secret tiles to add to the game, i’ll try to test them out and prepare them, they will be as always game changing and they will add more challenge to certain scenarios :)
i’m new with itch io, but i think if you follow me or the game or if you add it to a collection you’ll receive the updates when i push a devlog entry ! i’ll try to keep them to the minimum so it won’t spam anyone.
the game is still mutating a lot so there will be breaking changes from what it looks now for sure 😂
Thanks a lot for that comment, it made my day for real. I created the game with that purpose in mind, and each positive message tells me i’m going in the right direction.
oh also , be careful with the screenshots you see here, because they do not show the process to get to those layouts, maybe people played around with certain tiles for a certain time and then they replaced them for something different that gave them the upper hand !
That’s what i had to do in “The Line” for example :)
