The current version of my game (will be improved though, this is not my submission) - SpeedBox
Controls:
- Numpad to toggle your matrix on/off
- QWAS to match the colors
How to Play:
Simply press the numbers on your NumPad to manipulate your 3x3 matrix (turning the panels on and off). The goal is to make the same pattern as the left-most box on the pattern preview (on the bottom), and then press one of these buttons: Q/W/A/S, according to the color (e.g. if it's red, you press Q, but if it's yellow, you have to press W instead).
Clearing patterns increases your time bar, thus prevent it from running out since you lose when it happens. Throughout the game, patterns will get more lit squares and the time will become harsher. You can maximize your score by surviving longer or by exploiting the Frenzy Mode. When you fully fill your time-bar, you will enter Frenzy Mode. During this 5-seconds period, your time bar will decrease 2.5x faster, however you also gain 50% bonus score. Thus it's an important way to improve your score. Additionally, patterns with more lit squares will give you more score than the easier ones.
There are currently 3 game modes:
1. Normal Mode - in this mode, you have match your matrix with the left-most box on the bottom, and after that, press one of the color buttons (Q/W/A/S) which matches the color.
2. Matiaja Mode - or No Color mode, you only have to match your matrix with the pattern and then press any of the color buttons. However, it's 50% faster!!
3. Tailupa Mode - or Hidden mode, it's the same as Normal Mode except that the left-most pattern preview is hidden, which means you have to memorize the next pattern before submitting the current one. The time is 20% slower here.
I am planning to make a Challenge mode where you can make a profile and your progress be saved
. Anyway it's not a good idea to start with the 3 currently existing modes if you are not good with the keyboard, so I will make the earlier challenges easier and let you get used to the numpad controls so that you will be able to eventually face the harder challenges.
Speed is everything here ;D . Eventually you will discover more efficient ways to build many patterns, such as sliding your fingers in certain paths or jumping your finger from 8 to 2 while your index slides from 7 to 1, interesting ;D .
Any suggestions?
