[Game] Okosban

[Ove Ahlman]

Hi,

So I started reading the puzzlescript turtorial and thought I should mix around make a game with a lot of cool features mechanics and rules, in order to learn the tool set. However when I changed the rules for pushing blocks slightly I found such a interesting mechanic that I wanted to make a game around that instead. 

So here it is, my first puzzlescript game. Sokoban with a twist.

That was really good!

There's some nice level design here!

I got to level 7 and stopped there - I think it's a bit too big for my liking and it would be more fun if it was smaller.

I like it!  I'm stuck on 9 and 10.  I'm not sure how much mess I should make while solving them.

Level 7 is an odd one.  It is big, but I can kind of see why.  It's not a focus of positioning so much as priority.

Those last two are incredibly difficult, which is good, but I doubt I'll come back to them.

Thank you all for the nice comments.

Regarding Level 7. It is not big just by principle, but rather by consequence. It isn't very hard but it kinda introduces a new mechanic. In general I like when most levels introduces something new to think about. And also level 7 is the only that big level. But I will keep in mind that large levels can feel intimidating/tedious.

Regarding the difficulty of Level 9 and 10. I agree that at least level 10 might be unfairly hard. So I have added another level which "introduce" the mechanic necessary to solve level 9 and 10 (not 10 and 11), to make it a bit more fair.

As soon as I've figured out the rules of the game, I hacked it and put this rule in to make it so that I can press the arrow key into the crates because it's a lot more convenient that way:

[ No Solid | >  Player | Crate ] -> [ No Solid | <  Player | > Crate  ]
But I wouldn't advise to include this into the public version, it's not in spirit with the first few levels.

I am fine with the size of level 7 but I just didn't like the "new mechanic" it introduced at all. Levels 8, 9 and 10, on the other hand, definitely look overly complex.
