Blockstep by Amaury
We're proud to deliver our very first game for LD42 ! Have fun and feel free to rate/comment our game it will really help us :) (and we will check your game but chhhhhhhht don't tell the others)
Block it!
Blockstep is a 1v1 arcade game taking place in a construction site. The goal is to block your rival in a 1x1 square using your building abilities. But be careful ! You must build 1 block in your area in order to build a set of 3 blocks in your opponent's.
The game is playable with 2 controllers and in Windows only (sorry). WebGL supports controllers very bad. You can also play with 1 controller + mouse/keyboard if you only have 1 controller :)
Bugs and fun
We took this occasion to learn Unity and C# development. All the assets were created from scratch, except the music.
Works quite randomly on chrome and firefox, but Windows is good.
We had a lot of fun gathering for this 72 hour long experience. It was a pretty cool first shot !

Your execution could be a little better though. It seems right now the best thing one can do is spam blocks while walking.
The gfx were pretty decent and well put together.
@gajop when we tried the game we were liked you just spamming blocks and see what happen but try to block your opponent and clean a bit of your area and @s-knight we know that, and because of the dead line we didn't had some bonus but we wanted to ad a chance to drop something like a super block when you break a block. And for the tetris blocks we don't want to had a part of aleatory in the game now it's just skill and i think its good like that but why not had a group of differents blocks

We tried to create a simple IA, but in 3days it's really hard ^^ and don't worry were not gonna let down this project =).
And if you want, mouse and keyboard work too for this game, its harder and the mouse seems a bit glitchy, but you can play with this and a controler ;)
The theme wasn't the one that we expected so we are glad to hear that :)
Glad to hear that you are continueing your work on this project. It could really become a fun little local multiplayer game to pass some time with your friends.
@pixelformedstudios hey we definitly will make Blockstep work on more asap, we already have some idea thanks to you guys on how to polish the game we will see what we can do, we wanted this sound to be played actually is more a loose sound than a win one ^^ but we really wanted it in.
we know that an AI is welcomed ^^ but its really hard to create a good one for 1V1, even more in 3 days and we are just students, so we are certainly gonna do one, but its not our main project :( so you'r gonna wait a bit for playing solo sorry :(
