Blocklings.

My entry for Ludum Dare 43.

A short game about morphing blocks escaping from a dungeon deep underground. However, not all of them will be able to make it to the top.

Features:

- Bouncy Animated Blocks with 3 shapes they can take

- Low poly art style

- 8bit inspired sound effects and soundtrack

- Puzzle focused game-play with repeatability to get the best score

- 4 Levels

Tips:

- The Blockling highlighted in Green is the current leader and is the one affected by the selected change.

- Blocklings will stay in the air once they change.

- After getting one Blockling to the end you can fast forward the rest.

Tools Used:

Blender (Models, Texturing etc)

Beepboop (SoundTrack)

LapChirp (SoundEffects)

Unity3D (Well.. The game itself I guess)

Genres: puzzle

Tools: Blender

Loved the idea behind the game and how well its been fleshed out, graphics look beautiful for the theme of the game. A very different idea behind sacrificing :)

One of the best game I've seen so far. Awesome learning curve as well. Well done!

interesting idea, I like it, only the music is a bit disturbing

I'm doing pretty poorly on level 2 as a bad bounce placement can pretty easily end a run, but I like the concept.

A really solid game. I love the mechanic and how it ties into the theme -- props to you! Really liked the mood and how it was created with the music and lighting :)

@ravarion Yeah I did feel like I made level 2 a bit too hard, especially compared to the levels after it. If I went back to it I'd personally make it so you can choose which block to change rather than it being in order. As there are a few scenarios where a block gets in front of the leader and you are helpless to do much about it.

Glad everyone is enjoying my submission so far :D

interesting concept, it reminds me of the lemmings game.

I reallyyy loved the idea here. The difficult was nice, and How you have to sacrifice a block to make way for the others was. Very well done here!
