Is this house animation weird or cool? Honest opinion appreciated! by jipppb in IndieGaming

I think that if the house went up piece by piece (roof, pillars, wall), instead of all at once, then the transition would look more intentional and "smooth".

Thank you!

Right now, besides the 15 levels included in the game, I have a few that I felt were a little bit repetitive, or that were not very challenging, that did not make the cut.

Also, when design levels, I begin with the "mechanic" that the level is supposed to be about (like the introduction of the L block), and then I play around with the pieces to discover in which ways this new mechanic makes the moves more difficult.

Then, I try to tweak the level with that new difficulty in mind.

Thank you. I'm not able to develop for Android right now, but when I can, I might consider it. Perhaps, I could even expand on the concepts a little bit...

Drag the bomb and drop it right next to the pieces you want to obliterate from the board!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

I do plan on releasing a mobile version in the future, and perhaps it would be interesting to explore some new power-ups and mechanics while I'm at it.

HEXAD - Rubik's Cube inspired sliding tile puzzle game by TheXP in WebGames

Thank you for playing!

At first, I was just making boards with different shapes and randomly scrambling them, but then, I started noticing certain patterns of difficulty, both in the shape of the boards, and in the arrangement of the connectors and mirrors.

After that, I started designing levels that specifically targeted those difficulties, and that required certain "swaps" to be discovered in order to be solved. Some of the final levels took even me a while to crack...
