Inverter

I made this game a long time ago and the concept was to build a puzzle game as unique as i could make something. I really enjoyed busta move and tetris when i was younger so i like to make things basic and create something different with the same basic concept.

Tetris

This game had such an interesting basic game mechanic and the part that i really loved about it was it didn’t even have like a complicated level system. It just got faster which got more intense.

Busta Move

When i was younger this game had an affect on me in that it just made sense right away and it was just something i had in the back of my head. Something about looking for clusters of the same color and shooting the bubble on the right corner was just so good.

The concept was to have orbs (minerals) come in 4 different directions and catch them with the three plates around the White Core. Now like busta move you have to cluster the similar colors and that’s how you can get rid of them.

The difficulty is when they come in faster. Also if you let it get to the White core it damages you. The same bare you’re trying to max out is your Health also. So if you keep losing you’re losing your progress as well.

So you slide your thumb below the active screen and it will spin the three frames around. It’s pretty simple and I was finally made because i had this really good programmer friend that just cranked it out super quick. the problem is he had lots of other stuff to do and didn’t feel like he was all that interested because there were more to do on it and i wasn’t sure how to navigate around his build. It was really hard for us to communicate so it eventually just deteriorated.

My original concept was that this was the heart of a Makina and every time it ate stuff, this was how it was processing minerals. It’s a rough idea but one thing i wished to add was an image of the robot above the game screen that shows the robot moving faster when you process minerals faster. But I don’t even know how to get this made so it’s just ideas for now.

I’d like to get back into it again but I would have to start all over again from scratch and with a different programmer. Maybe someone out there will find this and would be interested in making this game again.
