Socoder -> On Topic -> Humble beginnings of a puzzler

So I finally decided to get going and start making a game. Here are the beginnings of a 3D sliding blocks puzzler, with a twist of course. Still working out the exact mechanics of the game, but it's going pretty smoothly right now.

I'm coding it in C++/OpenGL ES, and with a little bit of luck I should be able to port it to more platforms when I'm done. But that's all for a later stage, back to coding now!

Feel free to post your own screenies if you have anything to show!

Looks interesting.
Can't grasp any gameplay ideas from that screenshot, though, so I won't be able to quickly cobble together a rip-off edition by next Tuesday! grrr!!!

Generic Advice : Be sure to double-check your control scheme on the device. What you think might be working fine, when you use a mouse, isn't always the case once you've got your thumb over the top of the screen.

Haha, admittedly, it's a bit nondescript at the moment, but more revealing screenies are sure to come. I'll keep the stuff about controls in mind. This is my first touch game. And it's my first game in, well, years!

I'm partial to puzzle games and have done a fair few myself, so I look forward to seeing more.

Besides, anything isometric is automagically 157% better than something that's not.
