Boxez

Boxez

A game originally made for the Lowrezjam 2024 game jam, play the jam version here: https://gheja.itch.io/boxez

The current version is just a short demo, I tried to fit a few optional themes like Peaceful and All Systems Have Broken.

Changes

• Bugfix: destroying a Merger while it has one box inside it will also destroy the box so it won't stuck on the map
• The game no longer needs a separate window (Godot 4.3, single threaded web export)
• Disabled the edge scrolling - arrow keys and WASD still works
• GUI now fades out when player is inactive
• Minor changes on the map
• Some visual changes on the map

Tips and Notes

• The Merger can merge any shapes, even if they overlap.
• The Merger can mix paints in an additive way (red + green = yellow, yellow + blue = white).
• The paint works for already painted boxes as well, the colors will mix additively.
• The Merger building needs two inputs on its two slots, if one slot is occupied it will block further boxes/paints from entering until the other slot receives a box/paint.
• All the buildings can accept a box/paint from any direction but will output to the front, it works like a belt (in fact, there is a belt under the building that goes towards the front).
