{F} U LIEK B0OM BLOX!11??!

Posted by Fabio on June 21, 2008, 9:57 p.m.

In light of Boom Blocks for the Wii, I started a game of my own. Look at the latest posts for the newest version. (<3 physics) Please note: You MUST extract before playing.

Controls:

In Free Play:

Left MB: Place block

Right MB: Delete block

Mouse wheel: Change block type

Space+Left MB: Grab block

Left/Right: Rotate block

Ctrl + Delete: Delete all

Backspace: Return to menu

In Arcade:

Space+Left MB: Grab block

Download Block'd here. Note that upon starting Free Play, your cursor is in the air, so just move it down to see the ground. This was a silly thing I forgot to do before uploading. This update basically vastly improves the Free Play mode to keep you guys busy until I finish the arcade mode, and add some more features to the game.

LOTS of fun to be had in this Free Play mode. Here's just a few of the things I've been experimenting with:

-Build a structure of any kind (without using static blocks), and drop explosive touch blocks over it one by one until it collapses. See how many bombs your structure can take. (My high score on this one is 4.)

-Make a huge ramp and drop circles on it. Try to make them land in a box.

-Drop a lot (and I mean a lot) of circles around, and start dropping explosive touch blocks on them. For whatever reason this is extremely entertaining.

-Create a huge box filled with circles and some small structures. Once it's full, delete some of the blocks at the bottom and toss an explosive touch block in the back of the box. CIRCLE AVALANCHE!11!!!111!!! You can do the same thing, except making the box a volcano shape. POMPEII!111

-Try and balance as many circles/single blocks on top of each other as you can.

-Hotseat multiplayer games-

-Structure wars

Player 1 builds a structure on one side of the map. Once he/she is done, player 2 steps up to the opposite side of the map, and gets to throw 2 single blocks to try and destroy player 1's structure. If he/she succeeds, they win. If the structure is still standing, player 1 wins.

-Jenga

Kind of hard to play, and most games will end quickly, but build a Jenga tower (going 2 single blocks, and on top of that a long one, repeat) and play Jenga.

Try and think up of your own games/activities here and post them. (Screenshots are always nice too.) Personally, for me, creating volcanoes and playing structure wars=new love.
