While we're concentrating on the main Little Square Things game, we're also keeping an eye toward other game modes to include in the future, more than likely post-release. There have been some good ideas and some bad ideas in the hopper. Here's one that hasn't yet been a victim of the chopping block.
Think "basically The Incredible Machine" as a layer on top of "basically Sokoban." Here's how it would work.
- Start with a partially constructed level and an inventory of parts, such as walls, switches, or even Square Things.
- Place some parts to make the level (hopefully) possible to clear.
- Then, play your level and clear it!
- If you can't clear it, just head back to the drawing board. Either way, play around!
The concentration here would be less on solving a puzzle, and more on designing your own solutions. There's no one solution; more a whole solution space. There would be room for exploration, creativity, and replayability.
Early Access is a place to bring up ideas and give you, the gaming community, the chance to help shape the games on the whole. This is the earliest of the early.
And here it is in Sharpie.
