I thought I might let you all play a new game I am working on in BlitzMax. I currently consider it an alpha release, as all the features are in it, but there are no gameplay bugs at this time. You can find it here:

You will need a username/password for the site to play the game so it can upload your stats for the leaderboards.

Let me know what you think.

As a note, once you do play, your highscores are compared here:

Very nice. I like it. Simple and quick correspondence but the brick explosions are a litle bit to much...

The final build is going to let you turn the particle system and such off or turn it up to 11 ;)

Do you have any screenshots?

heh, this sounds like you are planning to add some in haha ;-)

Nope, no screenshots at this time. I can add some later. I will also have a Mac OS X build up later (tomorrow?) and a linux build once I get Ubuntu re-installed.

How does the gameplay work?


gweedo767(Posted 2006) [#8]
The gameplay is pretty basic. You just try and get large "connections" of blocks of the same color. Blocks touching on the top, bottom, left or right build a connection. The larger the connection, the larger the score you get. Here is the scoring algorithm:
blocks * floor(blocks / 2)

So...bigger = better ;)
