A Blocky Stroll
This prototype was made for the GMTK 2021 game jam with the theme joined together.
I spent about 8 hours on this project (wasn't planning to participate but came up with an idea I thought would be fun the night before the deadline).
This is a puzzle game in which you "roll" your block around and pick up other blocks when you touch them (hence joined together). The puzzling elements come from both being able to maneuver your block structure around as well as figuring out the shape you need to build to help you climb stairs and high ledges.
It was inspired by Bloxorz the flash game if you've played it.
This is a prototype for the concept that has 3 tutorial levels and one puzzling level.

Fun little game, but too short. Concept could be expanded. I had fun, still.
Yeah, wish I had a little bit more time to work on levels. I had a couple more ideas that I was using for testing, but didn't make the cut because I wanted to make the game easy enough for people to get the rules and they play with it in the last level. Hopefully I keep working on this and add more levels but who knows :p
Hey. Long time. It's nice you keep releasing games. I like it.
Heyo, yeah my game dev has slowed down a lot since I started my new job. This one was definitely a confidence boost. Not because the project is amazing or anything, but that I "completed" it in 8 hours. Makes me feel like I've got plenty of time even with my job :D
that's cool
