{Game Release} Blox Official Demo

It's finally here, the demo you've all been waiting for! With 5 levels, 60 fps mobility, and colorful 2D graphics. Introducing....



Bugs:

1.  Sometimes the ball gets stuck going in a certain direction and you can't stop it. This can happen going from the bar to the wall or between walls/blocks. If from the wall to the bar is the case just let the ball die or try to manipulate it (it is possible almost every time). If it gets really bad you can reset the ball by pressing “Enter”, this will act as if you died only you don't lose a life but you do lose the 100 points.



Programs and Tools Used:


  • GameMaker 8.0, 8.1 - Putting the game together, minor graphics
  • GIMP - All major graphics, images for the manual
  • Sony Acid (Free Version) - Sounds
  • Goldwave - Volume adjustment, sound editing/mixing, format conversion.
  • Word Pad - To make a check list
  • Opened Office Writer /Opened Office Draw - Making the Manual
  • Calculator - Coordinates, any math needed
  • Sketch Book - Concept work
  • Markers - Concept Work
  • Internet -  References/ Tutorials.
  • Snipper Tool - Graphic help, screen-shots
  • Mp3 Compressor - Compress music size

Nice work! You did this all with dnd actions? The only complaint I have is those little yellow blocks; they are so hard to get when they are the only ones left :p.

I really like the concept of being able to move the paddle in all directions. It really brings a fresh light to the breakout concept :D.

Keep it up!

Thank you for the comment! :D
I had a lot of DnD but I also had some code too. A friend of mine who's kinda a mentor helped me with codes since he's fluent in GML so he gets credit for helping me as well. - Yes those cursed little yellow blocks, they are a pain aren't they. LOL
Thanks! :D
