A simple puzzle game applet. 5 levels atm, i am going to make more.

feedback welcome :slight_smile:

EDIT: 12 levels now.

#2

Some instructions would be nice!

#3

Er, isn’t there supposed to be a laser beam involved in there somewhere? I think it’s broken.

Cas :slight_smile:

#4

Aha, not broken - just a bit unintuitive!

Cas :slight_smile:

you have to make the lazers go into the outward pointing arrow of the same color.

#6

Hum yea, it’s a bit weird this way. Rotating tiles via mousewheel would be also nice.

And some graphics improvements it wouldn’t hurt. Well, it’s quite nice so far.

Btw this sub-category of the puzzle genre is called “logic maze”.

edit: Hm. The rules are a bit too complex, which makes the learning curve rather steep. (I cannot think of a solution, because I’m not familiar with rules, which means I have to resort to trial n error… that’s pretty bad.)

edit2: The shifter tile is also odd… R->B, G->R, B->G… so, like that RGB order… just… backwards. And the shift/splitter thing makes no sense whatsoever to me. :slight_smile:

edit3: The tile rotate mechanism isn’t button-alike. You apparently used the clicked event here, which means you have to click and release on the very same pixel. Otherwise the event isn’t triggered and the tile doesn’t rotate.

Ah, I get it. Cool idea for a game!

It would be easier to figure out if the laser was always coming out, instead of only coming out when the setup is correct.

#8

new version uploaded:

-graphics slightly changed
-puzzles slightly easier, still only 5 levels atm tho
-color rotator tile goes rgb
-mouse wheel can rotate tiles
-lazers come out all the time so you can see better where they go

i tryed making it so the rotation happens when dragging so long as the tile is the same, but it didnt feel quite right somehow

thanks for testing :slight_smile:

#9

Exception in thread “Thread-3” java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: i havent made that level yet

Had two leftover pieces on the last map tho.

#10

Ok it’s done. Please do the same thing for Ascent. Could you modify your JNLP file please? Please replace by to avoid people having Java 1.6 to install Java 1.5. Thank you very much for your games. Tell me if you have some other games to add or add them by yourself :smiley: on www.javagametome.com (no registration needed to add a game)
