 		Wow! That's an amazing game. Very polished

The only thing I think it's missing is Pac-Man-ish fruit for points and those things that let you eat the Ghosts. Those baddies sorta reminded me of Pac Man

Fun as it is though. You're really onto something with this one, it's really, really good!

 		Jay,

if you do add more...

how about some NPC and enemy AI blocks.

a trusty side kick: Red Square(for Robin)

Police Poles, and Comissioner Cord or Corner.
and an assortment of Block Beauties too.

now for some enemies:

Ice Block(Mister Freeze)
Worm or Wormhole (for Book Worm)
Cat Cube(for Cat Woman)
Joker Card(for the Joker)
for the Penguin-->hockey puck with picture
of a penguin.
and a blocked shaped Question Mark ? ...for the Riddler.

 		Really fun. Good music, good graphics. 635 on Block World is the best I've gotten so far.

 		jay - I tried doing a level, but couldn't load anything, I couldn't figure out which bit to replace. Anyway, a very fun game... You know I'm going to pressure you for a DS version don't you.

Just wondering though, are the graphics done in 2d using your wall detection thingy?

 		Yeah, all my own artwork. I think I went a little overboard on the color

The Level File is system/133/flow.lev, open it up and fiddle around with the topmost chunk to tweak World 1-Level 1. If you need a blank level chunk, there's one at the bottom of the file.


And, yes, it's all in 2D. But I haven't a clue what the "Wall detection thingy" is!
It's basically a case of having 40x40 sprites on a 32x32 grid, and drawing them bottom-top instead of top-bottom. Draw the chrs at the right place, and as you carry on drawing, if the next block's drawn over the chrs it kinda looks right!
Or at least, it looks right for the most part, but there are oddities.. I'm not going to point them out, though

 		I don't think you went overboard
on the colors. You can have a groovy
Diamond Sky experience but without Lucy.

hmmmmmmm....how about mood options?

different shades of green for those
green and ecological enviromental moments.

for the mellow yellows....shades of yellow

for depressing and really downers...greys,dark blues
and shades of blacks.

for cool and cold moments....light blues and even orange too.

for angry moments...reds or black n blues too.

True and Serious.

 		Today is Lego's 50th Birthday.
What better way to celebrate than with a game of Blockman.

New version!
A few more level layouts added, as well as 4 color co-ordinated fruit pickups.
