Welcome to Occluder!

Instructions:

Keep the red orbs that spawn from the orange portal from reaching the red portal until the time meter is full. Block the orbs by inserting blue blocks on their way. There are a few spare blocks but you may need to remove existing blocks in order to create longer routes.

Controls:

• Left mouse button inserts a blue block (if there are any left)
• Right mouse button removes a blue block

A few words about the making

The theme this time seemed to be fruitful as I came up with a good number of different ideas for a game. For some reason though, I really struggled in trying to implement them. The games just felt dull (went wrong way maybe?) or developing them painful. In fact, I had to ditch two game projects during LD50 before this, and was left with basically only day to make the game. Luckily I was able to complete(*) this one in time for a jam entry. And what's important, I enjoyed developing and playtesting it. :relieved:

*) At least in sense that it has all the essential things in place: game loop, win/lose condition, title screen, reasonable graphics, etc. Wish I'd had time to create sounds and music too.
