I found it less than obvious if multiple blocks blocked the lava more effectively than just one. My conclusion is that you only needed one.
I also didn't realize the significance of the refresh button until later in the game; however, discovery really is part of the game, so maybe that was a feature?
It may have been interesting to add colored blocks to the mix with special effects somehow.
I enjoyed this game. Thanks for making and sharing it!
It did take me a while to realize that the refresh button was actually faster than dragging boxes out. But, it's a pretty good mechanic as it means that every single box you drag out has an opportunity cost. I imagine in the right circumstances it would even be a better choice to sacrifice a star with very quickly advancing lava...
So overall, a very nice small game.
- Оригинальная механика
- Визуально приятная
Вызвало вопросы:
- Однотипная тактика прохождения уровней, было бы неплохо добавить каких-то внешних факторов, которые бы разнообразили процесс
Спасибо за игру!
