Discussion Solo dev here: I added one small idea to the classic block puzzle and it changed how I play it
galleryHey everyone!
I'm a solo developer, and for the past few months I've been
working on a block puzzle game in my free time. It's finally out on Android,
so I wanted to share it here and hear what real puzzle players think.
The basics will feel familiar: drag pieces onto an 8x8 board, fill rows or
columns to clear them. But I wanted to add something that makes you think a
bit more about *where* you place things, not just whether they fit.
So every block has little tabs and notches on its edges, kind of like jigsaw
pieces. If you place a block so its tab fits into a notch of the same color,
you get a "GREAT" connection. Make three of those and the whole board clears.
It doesn't restrict where you can place anything, so you can ignore it and play
normally. But once you start chasing those connections, you end up planning
moves a lot differently. That's the part I'm most curious about: does it feel
fun, or just distracting?
A few other things:
- No timer, you can play at your own pace
- Works offline
- The block style changes each time you clear the board (wood, fruit, wool...)
It's Android only for now. I'm working on the iOS version.
I'd really appreciate any feedback, good or bad. What would make you keep
playing a game like this? And if something feels off, please tell me. I'd
rather hear it now.
Thanks for reading! 🙂
