They even look cute\u2026 Anyway, now I have to decide on exactly the gameplay is\u2026 I can drop blocks from wherever I want and they explode if they come in 8-way contact with blocks of the same color\u2026 So now, I just have to decide between the explicit building (where the player has to place blocks so they don\u2019t blow up, according to some pattern and as fast as possible \u2013 this option would have me change the 8-way collision to 4-way, I think, or else it\u2019s just alternating stuff. This choice is also more work in the level design thing); or the implicit building, where blocks come out of the sky and the player has to change their color while they drop, so that they don\u2019t explode when they land… This last option is much easier, since it becomes more or less random and I just have to design towers\u2026 I\u2019ll do a break now and decide\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n \n
