That Falling Box Game - Remake/Cleanup in Progress

[Kingdaro]

topic too old so remade

so port is helping me with the game in that he's basically recoding everything and adding multiplayer

he's just being so awesome right now and I can't thank him enough. game's now hosted here, but no downloads.

https://github.com/portify/falling-box-2

if you really want to test it out (even though it's not very playable at all), you can click and rename the downloaded zip to .love if you have LÖVE installed.

**disclaimer: as I know very well how difficult it is to upkeep large projects, I won't expect this recoding to fully pull through, and you shouldn't either.

here's the old OP so you can get older versions while this is being made, plus the info is still relevant.

aka the game where blocks fall

dafuq is this?
Good sir this is the falling box game. As it implies, boxes do indeed fall. However they can also kill you, kill other players, and can be used to kill other players.

There are also powerups, tiny, yellow squares that make a nice ding when they spawn. You can collect these to gain special abilities such as making the playfield gyrate uncontrollably and spawn a giant yellow block that runs though and obliterates everything.

Okay, cool. How do I play?
Arrow Keys - Move and Jump (you can also fall quickly to the ground with the down arrow to avoid incoming blocks while in midair.)
Z - Hold this key while facing a block to pick it up.
Z - Release this key to toss the block you're holding.

Kill the other AI(s) as many times as you can and try not to die.

Download
This is the game's development blog. You can find the download here.
This is the game's repository. These are basically the games files which change as I add upon them, so you can see my progress.

Media
I'll get some more updated stuff later.
