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 ! ✌ 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 (^^).
My Chrome malware did not like the file i downloaded :( but this still looks interesting. I really hope you create a web-build for this game!
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)
@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 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?
@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)
I come up with error while pressing "cancel" to add score: ___________________________________________ ############################################################################################ ERROR in action number 1 of Async Event: Dialog

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
@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^))
@substain Thank you for the feedback (^w^). I guess it is really easy. Difficulty was something I was not sure about and given the time left I opted for easy over hard (^^").
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.
@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 (^^).
