Many years ago, I programmed this game in AS3 and released it on Kongregate. Now I rewrote in for Pico-8.
Game play: join exactly 4 blocks of the same color to make them disappear. If you connect more than 4 blocks, they turn grey and cannot be removed any more.
The game will display a summary of your run at the end, and keeps track of the 5 best scores.
Wow ! I managed to get 295 until my brain couldn't keep up.
Nice game, @Once. Starts out rather slow though. You can play like KLAX or Columns to begin with, matching colors by column, and only after minutes of play does it become challenging.
Gold star work.
Great work man. Got +-405. Just a doubt: this game already existed or you had the idea?
It's an original idea that I published as an AS3/Flash game in 2009. You can still find the game on Kongregate. But I was certainly influenced by the many hours I spent playing Tetris on the original GameBoy !
fun one!
one thing I found unpleasant on mobile: very often when pressing down or O to drop a piece, two would drop. maybe using btnp rather than btn for these keys would be best? still possible to press twice in a row quickly!
Thanks ! I am using only btnp(). It should not be possible to drop two pieces, at least using a physical button or keyboard. I know that touch events on mobile are sometimes unreliable, I will investigate.
ah well if it’s the web shell not working well don’t worry about it. I will save the game to my console and play with real buttons :)
