Looks nice although I've only watched the video. Please tell me that isn't the actual game music? Even for the video its a complete mismatch. I turned the volume down after about 30s.


Proger(Posted 2009) [#3]
Of course, this is not in-game music. Only for video. I think it's fun and attracts attention :))

Nice game - downloaded from BFG the demo this morning! Congratulations!

ps: your web site (www.lopens.com) is ... bad! There's no image about the game, only a DOWNLOAD button...


Proger(Posted 2009) [#5]
Thanks degac!
Yeah, "site" is not very good but we working on it :)

From what I see from the video, it's really cool. I like expecially the countdown, it advances thanks to two sprites that jump on two pistons, which with a rope turn a wheel that... well you know what I mean don't you ?

A qeustion: which physic system did you use ? Overall, which 3D party DLLs have you used to build this gem ?

Really nice and polished.

Sergio.

Not really. But I understand that you like it :) I'm glad!

which physic system did you use ?

Simple Verlet integration.

Overall, which 3D party DLLs have you used to build this gem

None :) Only BlitzMax.

Really nice and polished.

Thanks, Sergio!

LOL That music is hilarious. I've never seen a match 3 game like that though, very original.


Proger(Posted 2009) [#9]
Tunak-tunak rocks)) Thanks.
We have slightly improved our site. Now there is few images! :)

Looks pretty polished, good job! Interesting use of physics in the game.

Looks cool, just saw it today on BFG. Will try out.


Proger(Posted 2009) [#12]
Thanks, guys! I'm working on new version after receiving some feedback from BFG forums :)


Retimer(Posted 2009) [#13]
Wow...very nice. This one certainly out-does it for what i've seen with match-3


jsp(Posted 2009) [#14]
And another wow! This looks like a number 1 title ;)


RifRaf(Posted 2009) [#15]
I had to vote 5 on your gallery entry.. played the demo and its very fun. Congrats!

Great game, downloaded the demo.

Although I thought BFG downloader was somewhat tedious & unecessary
and have now uninstalled it all.


Bremer(Posted 2009) [#17]
I bought it not knowing it was made with blitzmax. I think its fun and I have spent a few hours with it already. Congrats on getting it out there and well done.
