This is a port of an open-source puzzle game I made several years ago when I was learning C++ (so the code is bad, please don't look at it ). It's inspired by a 1993 DOS shareware game called BLOCK-MAN 1 but I added some new mechanics to it and took it in a different direction.

As an homage, the original levels are actually included; you can see them by choosing the "BLOCK-MAN 1" level-set.
EDIT: I have removed the BLOCK-MAN 1 levels from this version (they can still be found in the PC version, and of course in the original game, since DOSBox is a thing)

It's also possible to make your own levels, which is detailed here...btw does anyone know if there's a better way to include documentation-type stuff with an OPK?
EDIT: The readme is now visible in the app's context menu, thanks to Nebuleon

blockling.opk

Enjoy!

You add the X-OD-Manual key in the OPK's file default.gcw0.desktop, and its value is the name of a file immediately beside it in the OPK. That file gets displayed as the manual. Its name is case-sensitive.

Code: [Select]

X-OD-Manual=readme.txt

Awesome, thanks! I was hoping there was a way. Unfortunately it looks like it doesn't use a fixed-width font, so the level format (which is essentially ASCII art) looks all broken :\

I don't suppose there's a way to make it use a fixed-width font...oh well, it's better than nothing!

Anyway, I have updated the OPK; not only did I add the readme, but I also fixed a bug where replays didn't work on "BLOCK-MAN 1" levels.

Got my message ole' sport?

Yep, just replied!

That game is great! Good job 

Thanks! I'm glad you like it

I actually just now uploaded a new version of the .opk that has a couple small changes to a couple of the levels, in an attempt to make the levels better progress in order of difficulty. I had some people play it on the Zero (everyone I have shown it to thinks it is a neat little device!) and they all had a lot of trouble figuring out a certain part in level 5, so I decided to split it out into its own level, and move it to later in the game.

I am also thinking of creating some more levels soon, now that I find myself working with this project again, since I always envisioned the game having like 100 levels, but never got around to making that many

What I find especially missing is music.

Yeah, I have been wanting to make some .MOD tracker-style music for it for a long time, but I've never gotten around to it...

Anyway, I just updated the OPK again, with a new level! It's the new last level (if anyone has even gotten that far). Enjoy!
