CINCH SORTER

by dirtbug games

Made for gamedev.jam #56 - Theme: Belt

note: I'm dreadfully afraid that audio didn't end up working on the final build for the jam deadline. i was minutes away from a fix but unity took its sweet time with build.js (story of my life). sorry :(


Fast-paced sorting game where quick reflexes and sharp decision-making are key.


TLDR

Let BLUE through. Block BROWN. Click to close the gate.


How to Play

Controls

Hold SPACEBAR or MOUSE CLICK (or touch on mobile) to close the red gate

Release to open the gate

MOBILE (TAP) SUPPORT IS POSSIBLE BUT NOT TESTED

Goal

Score as many points as possible by blocking brown boxes and letting blue boxes through. Don't let any solid items reach the furnace, or you'll lose lives. Game over when all 3 lives are lost.


Tips

Watch the colors! Brown = block, Blue = let through.

Timing is everything. Close the gate just as brown boxes approach.

Don't panic when clusters come at you. Sort them one by one.

Prioritize survival. It's better to miss points than lose a life.


Platform

Works on desktop (mouse/keyboard) and MAYBE/UNTESTED mobile (touch). WebGL build.

This was quite fun, it would have been nice to be able to get beyond 2900 I think, congrats!

I'm curious what high score people can get to? I haven't noted my highest but 2900 seems to be my average.

I kind of fell in love with this little game and I might be expanding it.
