Flood Tower
Made with Turbowarp for Scratch Game Jam #6 (Theme: The World's Against You) and The CookieJam (Theme: You Are Your Own Enemy)
Guide your spirit friend by placing Tetris-style blocks to make a tower for him to escape! The flood is always rising, and it seems like it's right behind you. Make sure to not crush your spirit or trap him, because he needs to escape!
IMPORTANT: Click on the game panel once before any other input to put it into focus
Controls:
[A] / [←] / [D] / [→] Arrow Keys - Move block left/right
[ ↓ ] / [S] Down Arrow - Place block
[G] G key - Toggle Dark Mode
[F] F key - Change difficulty
Note:
The spirit friend is controlled by an artificial intelligence (made by me). You cannot move him yourself!

Made a video
Wow! This is incredible! Thanks for finding my game video-worthy-- and making a video! :)
Even though we weren't too good at it we enjoyed how fun the game was so we were happy to make a video for it
In case you didn’t know, this game was made with Scratch :)
i managed to get a score of 78. awesome game, the design is really clever and execution is awesome
Awesome! Thank you :)
This game is way more intense than Tetris, and I absolutely love the design. It definitely poses a challenge, as I haven't been able to beat the 10-blocks challenge yet. I recommend adding a starting logo or countdown to prevent any confusion, as I initially thought the page was stuck.
Thank you! I might consider adding an easier and slower mode, because i have witnessed a wide range of skill for this game, from 125 points to <10.
I suggest adding a 'Start Game' prompt and a loading progress bar to alleviate any confusion I might have
Finally got a high score system! Points for addiction, because I reached 125.
where is the high score system?
When you stack at a certain point, like 30 blocks, 40 blocks, 50 blocks, and so on
@collin42 I added a number at the top-left that displays your score and the global score.
YOOO I GOT 30 SOMETHING
also where's the green flag if this was made in scratch lol
nvm im stupid
you can disable it in turbowarp packager lol
Would you consider updating the dev-log? It would be great to have it in the dev-log channel on Discord!
please tell me more, i have never devlogged before
What I mean is that you can post the update logs of your game in the dev-log channel of the Discord server. I believe many people would appreciate it
Firstly, I think this game aligns well with the theme. The rising water and falling blocks both lead to failure, leaving you with limited time for thinking. It would be more interesting and less challenging if there were some power-ups available to control the rising water or manipulate the position of the blocks. Additionally, it would be more engaging to have a score display and a restart button. Overall, this game is great, and I hope my suggestions can be adopted, at least partially.
adding a secondary mode which makes you can control both the guy and the blocks would be cool, could be a 2P mode or just a more challenging yet faster mode
Been asked about that a few times now-- i don't think i will add this in the near future, but maybe eventually :) I see it as a way to ruin friendships lol
please please please make an easy mode for noobs like me!
That little guy keeps committing suicide 😭😭😭
Why does the intro music pop off so much? This is a wild and fun game! I am bad at it. It would be nice if little guy was better able to dodge my drops, like I dropped a block and he died by jumping into the space that block was in. I'm pretty sure I dropped that block before he got crushed.
It's actually like part of the challenge of the game to keep from crushing the little guy! hint: he never goes downward, and always goes all the way to one side of a platform before the other. If he has the option to jump higher, he will take it.
great game with nice and simple graphics and fun gameplay! though sometimes once i die im stuck at the start screen without the logo.
That's an issue I will try to fix! just reload the page to bypass the softlock :)
love this game but it's hard for me.
maybe a little easy for green hand T-T
Great game concept, but it lacks a highscore system.
will be added shortly, make sure to play again when jam is over!
