Blockemon by Steven C

Blockemon is a pokemon-like game where you have to gather and throw fruits at your creatures to heal them, or throw it at wild creatures to tame them. And unlike in pokemon-games, battles are in real time in the overworld and you can run around freely!
I focused on gameplay rather than graphics, and as a result, I have made a fun game (IMO) I am rather proud of.
Instructions:
- arrow keys to run around
- "C" to jump
- "X" to throw fruit.
Some useful info:
thrown fruit can be picked up again.
throw fruit at wild blockemon to have them join your team, the lower their health, the higher the chance of success.
you can only have 3 blockemon on your team. as soon as one dies, you can have another join you.
if you die, or all of your blockemon die, you lose the game. After all, you have to keep 'em alive
pay attention to each blockemon's color and their projectile's color, the colors match the elemental-type.
Now go venture into the wild!!

Though game itself is a little tedious :wink:
I included your game in my video. Hope you like it!

It does make me wonder if you figured out how to catch (tame) wild blockémon?
Throwing fruit at them always heals them, but it also has a change of catching/taming them, the lower their HP the higher the chance (at full HP chance=0%, at 1 HP chance=75%)
The game is a good example what a few simple blocks can achieve, congrats on your entry!
I went to the gym and this is where my faithful Snow got murdered. I tried to avenge him but sadly, ended up dying with him.

And thank you for participating in our **Feedback Exchange** program :smile:
If i have one issue, it's that the fruit healer enemies when it failed to catch them. That felt weird.
Obviously the graphics weren't the most beautiful I've seen but they got the job done surprisingly well and I didn't really mind them.
The take on the theme is a *little* bit loose in my opinion but that's very subjective and doesn't really affect what i think about the game as a whole.
Great job!
