Amiya's Bemusing Room of Blocks

Description:

A puzzle game made for Amiya Aranha's Bucko Jam 2024. This was quite the small journey for me, from learning Godot Engine to creating assets and making a complete game using it all. Now that it's done and the silly idea I had is a complete game, I hope you enjoy the results.

Story:

Ami's Buckos are being forced volunteering to play a game for her amusement. Their goal is to keep the strange room they're in free of the blocks she's magically conjuring from just off-screen. To accomplish this, they must use their never-before-seen ability to turn into a block themselves! Clear blocks by using a Bucko block to form a group of three or more in a cardinal direction (up, down, left and right). Don't let the room fill up, or it's Game Over, bucko!

Controls:

Move Left and Right: Arrow Keys

Turn into Block: X

Swap to Next Bucko: Z

Pause Game: Q

Tips:

• Buckos are awful jumpers, but excellent climbers! Walk into a wall or block to climb it.
• Blocks don't need to touch the ground to be cleared. Go for those aerial clears!
• Pay attention to the color of the Next Bucko on the side of the screen. Use it to plan your next move.
• Most people believe that Buckos aren't worth many points, but in fact they're completely pointless! Clearing their blocks only frees up space.
• On the other hand, bonuses are awarded for clearing four or more regular blocks at once, making some good points!
• Both Amiya and Bucko's can't create blocks by the windows at the top of the room. Don't even try it.
