Block Blaster is a small game I started creating last night. I plan to finish it by the end of next week.



Anyways, in Block Blaster, you control a little green ship. You must destroy certain coloured blocks that fall from the top of the screen. This isn't a game where you "Shoot the red blocks, but let the purple ones through). Instead, you have to build different walls of colour. In the game, there are different "rows". Lets say that the first "row" is blue. To gain points, you want blue blocks to fall into the blue row. If a red block falls into the blue row, you lose points.

Now, lets say that a red block is falling from the top of the screen, and it is going to fall right into a blue row. If you let this happen, you lose points (-150). So, you have to shoot the red block, destroying it.

If you shoot a block that is going to fall into the wrong row, you gain 10 points. If you shoot a block that it going to fall into the correct row (like blue into blue), you lose 50 points.
Lastly, if you get a block into the correct row, you gain 100 points.







There are currently 15 levels (If you beat level 15, it just goes to level 16, but level 16 looks the same as level 1).

To beat a level, you have to fill in all the rows. Depending on the level, there will be a different number of rows, and the rows will also be a different width.

Some Notes:

- Do not let your ship get hit with a block. It restarts the level AND you lose 500 points.

- If your points go down to 0, you lose, and the game restarts. (you start with 200 points).

- Blocks with no colour on them are just there to get in the way. Don't let them fall into any row.
