THERE IS A KNOW ISSUES THAT WHEN YOU START A SECOND ROUND BEFORE ALL THE BLOCKS HAVE FALLEN FROM THE SCREEN THESE BLOCKS CAN FREEZE UP!
THERE IS A KNOW ISSUES THAT THE BACK BUTTON IN THE TUTORIAL IS INVISIBLE. IT IS STILL CLICKABLE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

How To Play

Simply DRAG and DROP the various materials with the MOUSE to JOIN them TOGETHER and build a scaffolding for BOB.

But be aware that not all materials will stay JOINED TOGETHER as some might require some sort of connection or otherwise might FALL OFF.

Some materials might even have certain properties UNIQUE to them.

How To Play (Guide and Spoilers)

This additional guide contains SPOILERS about the game contents and various materials.

General:

Most of the materials can be DRAGGED AND DROPPED with the MOUSE. These will snap automatically into the GRID.

Some of the materials will start changing in color after 3 seconds. From normal to yellow to red to black. Once a material is black it will fall immediately down and will be lost entirely.

Some material are affected by GRAVITY and placing them in the sky will result in them falling to the lowest row or onto the next lower material.

Materials

  • The TNT-BUTTON material will trigger all TNT BLOCKS visible on screen immediately when pressed (BOB touches the top of the TNT-BUTTON).

    This BLOCK WILL FALL if there are no other materials adjacent to the left or right.

  • The TNT BLOCK material is relatively harmless. It can not explode by itself but requires ANY TRIGGER BLOCK to explode. When exploding the TNT BLOCK material will instantly remove all adjacent materials immediately! (no animation, no audio)

    This BLOCK WILL FALL if there are no other materials adjacent to the left or right.

  • The COMMON-GRAY-BLOCK material has no special properties.

    This BLOCK WILL FALL if there are no other materials adjacent to the left or right.

  • The COMMON-CONSTRUCTION-BLOCK material will stay afloat without any adjacent support materials and will NOT BE AFFECTED BY GRAVITY.

  • The FLYING-BLOCK material will stay afloat without any adjacent support materials and will NOT BE AFFECTED BY GRAVITY. They will however slightly move while floating making it difficult for BOB to cross them.

Known Issues

All listed issues WILL BE FIXED once the GMTK GameJam 2021 voting ends.
  • Starting a new game IMMEDIATELY after the previous one before the blocks disappear keeps them on the screen frozen
  • The tutorial has no "Back"-Button
  • The TNT explosion has no audio or animation
  • "Falling"-Block offset is off by 0.5 units
  • "Falling"-Block texture is not applied
  • "Trigger"-Block texture is not applied
  • Fullscreen is not working
This was made for the GMTK GameJam 2021 (Theme: "Joined Together").

Really cool idea. Its a bit confusing to see when blocks are not supported, and i dont get what tnt does, but this game is fun

Thank you for your feedback! We are currently considering a few changes and to implement a bit of feedback we've received during the past few days once the GMTK GameJam 2021 voting ends!

Wow, this is a lot of fun. Great job with the level generation and the different kinds of blocks.

BTW, Would love for you to try my game too.

It is an Action Platformer with unique controls.

I had a lot of fun playing this game! The music, sprites, and animation are super cute and the gameplay is simple to understand, but very challenging to get good at. It got so hectic at the end! I got a high score of 15604 after a few attempts.

Great job!! Would definitely play it again after the jam!

Thank you very much for your kind words! We are currently discussing the continued development of this game. At the very least we will fix all known issues and make a few other changes once the GMTK GameJam 2021 ends!

Awesome! Looking forward to what you make in the future.

Pretty fun and cool difficult game! My high score was 8857.

Only encountered one problem: When you go to the tutorial screen you can't go back to the main menu needing to restart the whole game.

Thank you for your feedback! We will keep that in mind and fix it once the voting for the GMTK GameJam 2021 ends. (In the meantime you can still click on the empty space next to the images and text. The entire background acts as an emergency "Back"-Button to the main menu).
