excerpt from the function that handles clearing matched blocks:

if (matchCount != 0 && fighter != nullptr) {
be->PlaySound("clear", audioPan);
if (fighter->opponent->charges >= 2) {
unlockedTotal *= 2;

fighter->AddCharge((pow((matchCount),1.25) / 4.0) + (float(unlockedTotal) / 1.25) + float(combo/2.0));

#FallingBlockJam day 8: what's the point of a game jam if you don't spend an entire day adding something entirely unneccesary, like a fake bootup sequence and a title screen? (i also worked on fixing my audio code, and composed a battle theme! look forward to hearing that soon.)

i think its very funny how the 3DS modding scene is very careful about piracy, with warnings everywhere saying "FOR PERSONAL BACKUP USE ONLY!" meanwhile when you mod a PS Vita it just automatically installs an app on the home screen that lets you download every game on the system from a big list

screenshot of PKGj, a homebrew app for the vita that lets you install every ps vita game for free. listed in the screenshot are a bunch of persona games, and phantasy star at the bottom

#FallingBlockJam day 6 + 7 Yesterday: lots of boring animation tweaking that doesn't look quite how i want it to yet, and backend stuff for scene switching that unfortunately doesn't make for a good update post Today: locked myself in the music dungeon, even more to come probably (🎵: me??????)

#FallingBlockJam day 4 + 5 Yesterday: AI improvements, now a bit more human-like Today: I added a Puyo Puyo-like garbage system that you can use to send "locked tiles" over to your opponent. This is finally starting to look and play like a real game! (🎵: nelward - THE RUNAROUND)

#FallingBlockJam end of day 2, with some good news and some bad news. Good news: Basic game mechanics are all done and working! Bad news: I now have to figure out how to make an enemy AI that can play this game. 1st attempt at searching for moves got me 5FPS on 3ds 🫠 (🎵: Vospi - Reverence )

My ★★★½ review of 20 More, Somehow Even Smaller, Mazes (2026) on @backloggd.com : A Very Small Review For A Very Small Game bckl.gg/wCyP

DPS reviewed 20 More, Somehow Even Smaller, Mazes
3 and a half stars, liked, Completed on Windows PC

Cute little "expansion pack sequel" to the original. Some of the bits in the original game hit harder, but overall the quality here is still pretty high. My favorite was the Back from the Klondike maze, I think? The hardest maze for me was "eat all the dots", not sure why it took me so much longer than the others. Definitely reccomend this game, along with the other two games in the series, to fans of silly puzzles that respect your time.

Heyyyy @leafo.itch.io @itch.io I think something might be more than a little wrong with how game jam entry pages look when viewed without an ad blocker. itch.io/jam/falling-... I genuinely thought I had a virus on my phone when I saw this, with all the inserted links, popups, and malware DLs.

Screenshot of Cascadence by Mors from the falling block game jam, with a frankly scary number of malicious links inserted into it. Even comments have sketchy ai "enhancements" that try to get me to download a new browser if clicked on.

So the boosters are just making games for themselves and absolutely nobody else, and then wondering why they don't make any money.

I released a game a while ago but it only has 15 units sold. I marked the game as AI generated and I am not sure how much that affected sales. It could just be poor marketing

No it's actually colored! A few AAA games use it in cool ways, like changing based on your lightsaber color in a Star Wars game, but barely any indies seem to use it (besides us I guess lol)
