Midnight: A monochrome puzzle game.

Unfinished and highly unpolished, since I have exams this week. Maybe I’ll make more levels and finish this later, who knows?

Controls:

- A to select something.
- Up, down, left, and right to move the character.

Use the character to move to the desired level in the level selector, then press A.

There are restart and exit buttons in each level.

to a wonder who the first person to beat this is going to be? 100% completion?  
This also uses @Kiwiphoenix364’s zoom witch makes this game look so good with 2times zoom.

Ok, I think this is my final submission for this game jam. There’s a scenario that I can’t decide the correct behavior yet ( it’s far more complicated than i thought 😭 😭 😭), may result in a strange game state, but MENU button can reset current level and (hopefully) do not block the game play.

It’s Tetris, but for Arcade! I decided to do this because not many people have made Tetris in Arcade!

At first, I was going to make it a 2 player VS game (with inspiration from the multiplayer on Tetris DS), but I didn’t have enough time so I just made it 1 player. That’s why half of the screen is almost blank. I did add another hud element on that side instead of the other, though, and that is the timer that shows how long you have been playing and stops when the game is over!

I added smooth controls that make it so that if you hold down the left/right direction buttons, the piece gradually moves faster and feels more natural!

This game will gradually move faster as you go! Have fun!

Update to my game with slightly improved losing detection that works better and is less unfair, along with fixing some rotation issues:

Sorry, I just had to… (I added auto-saving, so you don’t have to complete it all in 1 playthrough.)

I thought it would be funny if there wasn’t anything in it, but now I realize this may not have been the case.

Hey everyone,  
Greetings from NZ. Thought that I might throw in an old puzzle adventure game that I developed during during the NZ pandemic lock down while bored at home 🙂

Te Maro was an native Maori gardener and local scientist when Captain Cook and the Endeavour sailed to New Zealand shores. Unfortunately he was shot by the first explorers from the Endevour when they reached land. This game is a tribute to Te Maro in the form of an adventure, puzzle and quiz game.

Thought I might throw it in here to share more about him.

Enjoy and feedback welcome: [https://arcade.makecode.com/08336-88638-83490-79419](https://arcade.makecode.com/08336-88638-83490-79419)
