Wow! Did your kids play it? I’m amazed! Thank you! Do you think if I put in more time and polish this could be accepted by Poki?

Break It: Holey Moly

Made this small game when I was trying to learn Defold’s joints and collision shapes. It’s reminiscent of those funny Japanese hole-in-the-wall TV variety games. The goal is to rearrange the stick figure’s limbs to match the incoming hole shape by clicking and dragging the designated touch points.

Happy playing! :blush:

Tentacle Thing

Hi! tried to do a Carrion-like project, I always wondered how it was done with all the tentacles and particles going through walls. I am pretty sure that it was built using a custom engine so they might have control of every pixel and that’s why even sections of the tentacles are able to collide with walls, tried a lot of ways, static tentacles, tentacle composed by multiple game objects doing some kind of ropes with fixed joints (this crashed many times so I just dropped it). Lastly I just asked an AI if there was a different way and that’s how I ended up with the mesh generated tentacles.

Wow I really love it! Have a “Life” SF movie feel :sweat_smile: and the bleeding effect is really cool! Need to see the code, is it a shader effect or tile(map) changing? (EDIT: OK I just need to read the readme :laughing:)

This creature could be a freaking enemy in an action game :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: if you change the sphere to a space-octopus head

I wanted to make a game where the female character use her hair to grab things and hang on the ceil, this could be a good starting point!
