My first Jam: DwarfSweeper!

This is my first game jam, and now my first published game! So far I've just got the linux build, but I'll see if I can get a windows version up.

I was excited to participate, and I'm excited to play some games!

I just pushed a windows build. And with that, I'm done, like really done this time, ha!

If you have a game you want rated, comment it here, I'm on linux, but if you only have a windows version, link it here and I'll try playing using wine. If it works, I'll comment that on your game's page!

Graphical Updates and Post-Jam Plans

I've been really happy with the feedback I've gotten from y'all on my game DwarfSweeper! If you haven't got a chance to play, here's the link:

Anyway, I've been working quite a lot on improving the game, and I think it's solid enough to make a full game out of. The first set of changes I can show are graphical improvements!

This is the new entrance to the cave, where you start your DwarfSweeper journey. I've made it so the graphics are pixel perfect, and the couple blocks beneath the entrance are unbreakable. There will be other area where the blocks can't be broken in the future!

And here's my latest attempt. Not even close to my high score, but you can see the vast improvement to the tile set, along with using smart tiles. The flags have also been changed by popular request to be on top of the block you mark, instead of sticking out. Much clearer!

I'm not totally sure what direction this game will go in the future. I want items and shops, and probably caves separated by doors instead of infinitely going down, but the overall game? Still in the ideas stage!

Can you hear the Gods? They're pretty mad.

If you can survive for longer than five minutes, the Gods will have much more to say!

Finally, I have a desire to share!

My brother and I are working on a game where you must deliver the tetrominos to the tetris board, while playing Tetris.

So far, the hardest part has been figuring out what shape you made in the factory. It's basically turned out that you have to create a map with each rotation of the piece, and its exhausting. Thankfully, it's my brother doing that!

Presenting: Overtime at the Tetromino Factory

Hey all! We did it, my brother and I have published our submission!

It's called Overtime at the Tetromino Factory, and you can find it here!.

It's a puzzle game where you have to deliver your own blocks to play the game. We're spending the last 45 minutes adding as many achievements as possible, but you can play the game now if you want!

Thank you all! We had a lot of fun!

Play my game, I'll play yours!

Hey all, if you are looking for a game to play, try out mine, and if you leave a comment below, I'll play yours!
