Squares Puzzle Game With Map Maker

[jimmynewguy]

Never made a map loader/saver so I did for a very simple game. Had some fun with this one, check it out and what not!

[EvanBlack]

how does it work? I didn't look at the source, just went straight to game mode

even looking through the source, still not sure what its suppose to be doing. I know saves blocks that you make appear on the screen, but what does it do?

[jimmynewguy]

oh, duh. Instructions. haha, you just drag the squares around (only left and right they have gravity so they will fall down if possible) with the mouse to try and fill the goals (slightly transparent blocks) for the map maker control l is load control s is save, type a name and hit enter. Same for custom levels in game.

Hey, that's a nice game!
Anyway, it took me a while to find out that one has to press spacebar for creating the transparent block in the map maker..

But overall very nice game and a nice way of creating those levels!

Wow, amazing game. I am officially addicted

+1 for you

[jimmynewguy]

Addicted? Ha, well thanks. I figured all the puzzles would be too easy since I'm not that creative... oh well. Glad you liked it!

They are hard actually. It took me a while to figure out puzzle no. 13 haha

Awesome! Originally I was going to have different colored blocks do different things, like only blue can go in water, orange "falls" up ect. but became too lazy with making this. I just wanted to see if I could make a map editor

Hey, do that what you was going to do! This game will be very great then!
Also you should add help section to the game and maybe make those transparent blocks to be more noticeable some way.

I like this! Also, how about adding reset level, because when you fail the level you have to close and start the game again for trying again..

[jimmynewguy]

R resets the level, man I need to not forget to explain how to use things next time I make something!

EDIT: I can always put making the better version for this on the "back burner" so to speak. My only problems with projects I want to do now is art. I can't draw at all so nothing will ever look as good as I imagine

Dood, do that. That would make the game sooooo much funner (Yes I know that funner is not a word). But seriously, that would make the game much more challenging

You could make a readme file in the game folder. That would fix it probably

Oh and, there should be some way to easily add your levels to the main menu. Like once you finish making a level, it adds it to the list so that you can scroll to it and play it instead of typing the name of it in. You know

Originally was going to do that, once again just more of a "lazy" thing. I would just have another menu for player levels. Anyway, I will consider this later like I edited in my last post. Just need to collect my ideas and such.

Anyone have a good way to do this? I can't think of a good way for these to look.. Everything I tried is either worse or looks bad.

Have a slightly brighter dotted border rotating around it.

@sky
Duhh, why couldn't I think of that? Anyway, it seems to have proven way less easy to have a 3d matrix with the first holding a level number and saving it all onto one file instead of having 50 level files (or whatever). I have other ideas though...I hope.
