4 hour game
« on: April 10, 2009, 12:14:07 am »

I made a game in 4 hours just to see if I could. I could, and I am rather pleased with the result.

This is a falling block arcade game, akin to tetris. It's called Photon and instructions are in the game.

Have fun.

I played it, and I like it!

One thing I'd add though is the ability to manually call the next row of blocks down, maybe with the spacebar.

Also, there's a glitch where the blocks will hang in midair.

EDIT: OH, and for some reason, the game just ends spontaneously. Why can't it go on forever? I could play collapse at the highest speed almost indefinitely, so I wanted to try my luck at this.

DOUBLE EDIT: Also, after the game spontaneously ends, there's a glitch where when you start a new game, you start off with the amount of energy you had when it cut you off.

Also, highscore:



I'm very happy with this game you made, and I'm surprised to see how talented you are!

Pretty fun, but seems to just end abruptly?

Game Maker. It's what I've been working with, and I've even won a state programming competition with it.
