Kartika Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I am a newbie javascript/html5 programmer . Please check out my game called BLOTS. Its inspired from the ink blot figures children make by usng ink and folding the paper in half. Would love feedback and suggestions as its my first effort. Currently it has only 6 levels and is very simplistic in design, but I didn't come across anything similar in my research.

nikolayku Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 mmm... nice game !!!I spend 10 minutes to complete first level add reset button to reset game state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentuat Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think this has the potential to be a lot of fun - and can see how it could potentially be expanded to different types of symmetry and other challenges using the same mechanism for later levels. I found the time limit to be EXTREMELY punishing though! - I couldn't even complete the 2nd level after a few attempts! also, having the ablity to click+drag to draw several dots together (rather than single click for each dot) would probably make it easier to draw things and be more enjoyable to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yhoko Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 For me it was easy; played through on first attempt with averaged 4 secs left on each level. I think the difficulty is totally based on the individual strategy how you place the pixels. And yes, not being able to click+drag really slows you down; if it were implemented I'd have needed only a third the time. The fun thing in this game is to see how simple known sprites from old games are made and seeing them appear on the screen. Wouldn't have made more than 10 levels though (mostly because clicking so often was annoying). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartika Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi All,Thanks a lot for your comments and for trying out the game. I am working on making the time alloted more person based, drawn from how they perform in the current level, but I am not sure what formula to use. Currently the time allocated is 1/2 a second for each pixel + 2 secs to adjust your eye. Personally I have played through the levels but then it may be due to practise. Click and drag has been in the todo list but i'll probably need some pointers on how to implement it :-( . ( newbie i know ) Kartika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackle Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Click and drag has been in the todo list but i'll probably need some pointers on how to implement it :-( . ( newbie i know ) When mouse is pressed, set a variable dragStarted = true; or similarWhen mousing over new squares, check if(dragStarted) { changeSquare(); }When mouse is released dragStarted = false; Something along those lines could work maybe?

Rustem Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 time to finish level is to short. otherwise game is cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartika Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 time to finish level is to short. otherwise game is cooloh thanks. It requires practice. otherwise time is sufficient. I have played through all the levels. It wont be challenging otherwise. The grid is too small and the figures too simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhmedElyamani Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The concept is very nice , but It's really difficult for me , Maybe you guys have higher IQ ( and better mouses ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartika Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Implemented click and drag and also added another level ( the question mark ) which i found interesting as it tests estimation ability as well as mental rotation.click and drag is only partly useful. sometimes it selects unwanted squares. Not sure if its because of my implementation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartika Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 The concept is very nice , but It's really difficult for me , Maybe you guys have higher IQ ( and better mouses )actually I feel, it can be played with right brain as well as left. Just need practise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhmedElyamani Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 actually I feel, it can be played with right brain as well as left. Just need practise. Cool , but also It's a nice idea to make an option for difficulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartika Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Cool , but also It's a nice idea to make an option for difficulty noted. AhmedElyamani 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karma Octopus Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Very nice game but to little time to complete the levels. If you (the developer) think a game is easy it's usually harder for people to play who didn't make the game. Kartika 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarion Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Start easy and get harder slowly to keep people playing longer. Kartika 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjbarter Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Wicked game. Love how difficult it is, these sort of games should be this difficult. Awesome. Kartika 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
