Have played quite a bit of this now. Looking forward to reaching the 2k crash while it’s still an option. :)
It could be that making it randomly fair (as opposed to designed levels) might be algorithmically challenging, but perhaps there are ways to do that reliably. And/or ways for the game to ease back under certain conditions (such as halting lava climb while there aren’t enough landed blocks above the high water mark).
I guess it shouldn’t be surprising, but with more practice it’s become easier to get out of jams and jump around some edges. Fun to feel some progression.
Hopefully it will be a 4K crash pretty soon!
It can be unfair, but it’s very fun! I even enjoyed when it throws impossible patterns at you or suddenly traps you XD. I got to 688. Great game.
thank you for saying so! hopefully I'll be done optimizing soon, and can work to help mitigate some of the unfairness haha
really fun, got addicted 😂
thank you!
New Highscore: 1120. I dig your game!
>: o !!!!!!!!!
I think you could generate the blocks in a way that ensures they can be climbed (even if you have to figure out the route). Cool though!
Thanks! That's an interesting thought. Maybe I can hard code some patterns and mix it into the random ones ... hmmm.
Check out Tetris Plus and Gussun Oyoyo, both on PS1. Tetris in general is interesting because the pieces are not random but are pulled from a “bag” according to some rules.
A bit unfaire but funny game ! My Highscore is 453 (yes one point above the comment below haha)
Yeah, sorry about that! I think its a bit unfair too. I didn't get a chance to balance it. But I'm glad to hear you think its funny hahaha!
This is fun!!! My Highscore is 452
Thank you for saying so! 452 is not bad
