Just 3 Blocks !
A Presentation ?
Well.... It's a variant of tetris. But it's not, as I'm not using 4 blocks pieces. So I guess it's Just Not Tetris.
Of course I did everything all alone. I wanted to do a compo. I mean... I manage to do most of the things in 48h.
"It was basically working well last night. But there were too many small bugs and placeholders. Like the blocks being to fragile, and some parts just... falling off."
"So as usual, I opted for 24 more hours. Now the interface is mostly complete ! :v:
Look here : "
"So here it is. Just 3 Blocks ! Based on tetris, but with 3 blocks instead of 4.
And a smaller play zone. I reduced its size last minute.
I hope the interface will stay stable."
---------------
Addendum (more serious presentation) :
It's a tetris like game with only 2 types of piece (as I'm using 3 blocs and not 4).
But it's not really tetris like but for the gaining point by completing lines and losing when you reach the top.
Don't hesitate to use you mouse to explore a bit (^^).

@hiisileiri Sorry to hear that ! My chrome also gave me a warning when I downloaded it but it only tells me that my program is not often downloaded therefore potentially dangerous (^^"). I can't promise web-build but I'll see if I can use the free game maker license available for the jam :)

I grabbed my score!

I am not certain of all the rules. Do the colors matter? Sometimes the blocks seem to break when I run blocks into them (not when a line is completed) is that because they are fragile? Am I getting points for that?
Cheers!

@hiisileiri That is normal for downloading Jam games. Antivirus throws a false positive on "unique files".
Be wary of files you download obviously, but also be certain that Antivirus is going to complain whenever you run a downloaded game jam game.

@the-lame-brain Thank you for playing (^o^). When you complete a line, the game add the value of each block or add a multiplier to the score line (^^). At the start of the game, a red cube is a x2, a green cube is 30 points and a yellow 40 points.
So if you have 3 reds, 4 greens and 2 yellows the line give you : (1+(3x2)) * (4 x 30 + 2x 40) = 7x200 = 1400 points (^^). At least if I didn't made any mistake in the code (^^')
And yup, block are fragile. If you break them with collision, you gain 5 points (but the points for breaking is arbitraty and not based on the color)

Pretty cool game, Its got some unique mechanics with the fact that you can forcefully break blocks that definitely plays into the unstable theme. I enjoyed it
Yohsk134 Oct 2021, 19:45
@hiisileiri Thank you for the bug report (^^'). I forgot to add a default value for the name.
Yohsk134 Oct 2021, 19:49
@kitsisuriyotsuru Thank you for your kind comment (^w^). You can also interact with some elements of the ui (^^) (like clicking directly on the blocks or clicking three times on the middle rotating bar (^w^))

I really liked the music to go with stacking the blocks. Very relaxing. Here is my score!
Yohsk134 Oct 2021, 23:13
@aaronfournet Thank you for playing (^w^). I'm glad you liked the music.

Very pretty game! I'm so fun when play it!
LDJam user 2614185 Oct 2021, 07:56
Haha cute "Please don't click too much"... Sorry about the sign..! Neat idea :)
Substain5 Oct 2021, 10:45
it feels too easy, because you can just drag the blocks to the side to destroy other blocks. I did have a fun time trying to figure out the mechanics
Dinwy5 Oct 2021, 13:13
I really like the new layout and the sound when I clicking the cat on the bottom right, haha. Good job!
Kit Gorn6 Oct 2021, 01:19
Thanks for your game. This is truly a masterpiece. A very interesting gaming experience.
DAk0016 Oct 2021, 01:38
It was fun to play. Nice mechanics! Didn't manage to get score above 10 000 :( But still pretty simple and cool.
Lex6 Oct 2021, 12:08
I guess you could call it Tritries? heh
Arttu Halonen6 Oct 2021, 13:51
Simple but effective, well executed! Keep it up!
Yohsk136 Oct 2021, 14:18
@arttu-halonen Thank you (^w^)
fabianfucci6 Oct 2021, 17:41
Simple and neat. I like the way it looks.
Kraghan6 Oct 2021, 17:45
Nice entry ! Simple but efficient ! And everything with an homemade engine right ? Pretty cool :D
Yohsk136 Oct 2021, 17:50
@fabianfucci Thank you ! (^w^) I still think I went a bit too simple, but I'm a bit too slow to code more in only 72h (^^)
LDJam user 2588638 Oct 2021, 05:39
This is really well made! Feels very stable, has a nice twist on a classic game, and has simple and cute graphics. Really well done!
denilseven9 Oct 2021, 02:23
dont know why but tetris gives me such nostalgia. I enjoyed the game, good job :3
Yohsk139 Oct 2021, 02:31
@denilseven Thanks (^^)

It seems unintentional that you can clear any type of block just by shoving and rotating blocks into each other. I was able to keep a clear board just be constantly shoving the next piece into what I just placed.
macaroni.dev19 Oct 2021, 01:31
I thought the music and graphics were very charming. I liked the "surprises" from clicking too :)
Yohsk1319 Oct 2021, 15:05
@macaroni-dev Thank you (^w^)
Yohsk1319 Oct 2021, 15:08
@ninjacreeper47 Hum.... Well, difficulty was clearly not what I was going for to be honest (^^). And while you can keep the board clean that way, each clashing block give you only 5 points, which is nothing compared to what you get from competing a line (^w^). But I was considering things like some unbreakable blocks or changing the speed of the game with time... Thank you for your feedback (^^).
Edit: I downloaded the game, and tried it. I come up with the error (the reason of the malware interests might be of the scoreboard you do have implemented on this)
