As someone who was around in the dusty old days, I very much got the impression that Steam was just gradually opening up their internal tech. In 2013 Steamworks felt like a weird Valve internal site they accidentally let you use... just like now 😅 I barely used steampipe though.

I support this! Lack of a good genre tag for Arcade Puzzle games hurts discoverability. I tagged Tetrachroma and some other games.

I like the concept of the Rainbow Dolphin game I made for the falling block jam, but I feel unsatisfied with the 9 day jam version, so I'm continuing to develop it! I'm waiting to reveal the post jam version when it's ready (soon!)

This is a clip of what the max speed level in my jam game Rainbow Dolphin is like. The noise blocks are "pollution" that you have to avoid breaking. It gets pretty chaotic but I find it fun. When I recover from the jam I want to develop the idea a bit more. #FallingBlockJam

My #FallingBlockJam submission is Rainbow Dolphin. Flip and push blocks to form rainbows, as a pink, blue, yellow, or green dolphin! I had fun exploring quirky mechanics and thinking about dolphins: sparsevector.itch.io/rainbow-dolp...

The game is more fun with the pink dolphin sprites. I want to make the dolphin color selectable, but it might be pink-only for the jam version (priorities).

020

sparsevector @sparsevector.com · 18/09/2025

Made good progress on my #FallingBlockJam entry today. Slowly starting to feel like a game as I add more visual feedback and tune stuff. Still lots left to do, most importantly making dolphin sprites 🐬

Day 4 of the jam and the blocks keep falling. Today I added DAS and a "DASh" button to the controls, a basic HUD, and worked on music. I'm still delaying sprite work until I finalize the block size, but I have a plan 😅

#FallingBlockJam Day 3! Still working out mechanics, very placeholder everything. My idea is you are a dolphin pushing and flipping stacks above the water to form rainbows. The challenge is efficient movement and managing "coyote time". Still early, but I think there's promise.

Day 2 of Falling Block Jam! Everything is placeholder as I'm still testing a concept. I still haven't finished implementing the controls, but I can confirm that blocks are falling!

sparsevector @sparsevector.com · 14/09/2025

Falling Block Jam Day 1! Spent time working on music and thinking about the theme. I'm also using the Jam to port my C++/SDL library to Emscripten, which... works so far? Still need to test a few things, and then it's on to gameplay.

Nice! One of the things on my TODO list is to get my C++ SDL wrapper building with emscripten before the falling block game jam. In theory it should work, but I'm kind of dreading it 😅

Yes! The game runs unlocked by default. The difference can be subtle because the pieces move one block at at time, but animations and controls run at higher refresh rates.
