Squid Squares - LD20

So, I've made this game for the Ludum Dare #20 Compo

An young alien is decided to conquer a planet to show his father he is capable of doing so.

But this task is dangerous, so he takes a giant squid with him.

He will have to use the squid's ink spray to destroy the 12 defence stations of the planet and ultimately conquer it!

• Some blocks will only destroy a block at one of it sides.
• Star blocks destroy any block on all sides.
• Dark blocks are undestructible
• Destroy all coloured (this includes stars) on a level to win

Controls:

• Only a mouse is required

Known bugs:

Making a screen transition twice (like clicking a button 2 times) may bug the game

Nice graphics, I also like how you interpreted the theme Hope you do well in the competition!

man i wish i could draw like that.. do you use a tablet or you just do it with your mouse?

That's really good game, I can't believe how you could put it together in 2 days.

It's a good concept, and it's very pretty, but I think icons on the boxes that are more representational of what they actually do would be good. They're very arbitrary. I found that I wasn't "thinking things through" so much as just solving every puzzle by trial and error, which isn't very satisfying in a puzzle game. Eventually it got to the point where there were just too many blocks in a level to bother with trying to click through every possible sequence and I just gave up.

Sorry for the harsh critique, just my two cents.

But yes, it is amazing, and gorgeous, for a game made in two days

Didn't I see a time laps video on this
