Block Buster
A simple but addictive falling block game where you swap stacks of coloured blocks to prevent any stack from reaching the top. Includes 2 timed modes and an endless mode with their own highscores.
How to play
Move the cursor left and right and press O to swap the selected stacks.
Press down to drop the blocks faster, or X to immediately drop them to the top of the stack.
As you match blocks the speed that they fall will increase. For endless mode higher levels apply a multiplier to the score.
In timed mode see how many blocks you can match within 2 or 5 minute rounds.
Development
In late August I was looking to keep myself occupied with a simple coding project while I waited for my other half to go into labour. The code comes in well under the token limit at 3833 tokens, 90% of which was written in one day and I've slowly added bits of polish in the time since. The hardest part for me was trying to make such a simple game visually interesting. I'm fairly happy with how it's turned out and now I can finally push my first release to the BBS some 4 years after I became excited by PICO-8! :)
I found this fun and easy to learn, the gfx are nice too, thanks.
