Streak is a simple Puzzle game, inspired by games such as Tetris and Lumines. Right now, it is in it's fifth week of development as a class project, so I wondered if anyone would be interested in playing it and give me feedback.
There's a full tutorial with a 'Normal', 'Hard' and 'Expert' difficulty.
(Sorry, Windows only!)
The goal of Streak is to earn as many points as possible by creating jagged lines, from one side to the other.
I hope to actually release this as a mobile game come summertime, maybe even with a bit of help from Kickstarter. So, any feed back (positive and negative) would be great!
But, you also earn 'Boosts' which destroy all blocks of a specific color. You only earn more every 250 points, so use them sparingly!
If you want to download it (again, it is student work so it is free), here's the link (No log-in needed! Click the 'X'): https://www.dropbox.com/s/nikdo8znqqyrqyk/Streak_ImgurVersion_0-2.exe?dl=0
Imgur helped me create the first version, so I only figure it is fair Imgur gets a crack at the new version as well.

As a game designer/developer: What did you use to make this? And what language?
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
I needed to use a college's custom game engine/language. The closest scripting language to it would be C#, close engine is Unity.

What do I see here? OC? OP delivering? A cool free game? Just as I suspected... a front page post!
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
I sure wish... but this won't hit front page :P I just want feedback. All I'm looking for.
PolakOfTheCentury
Yessssss. OP delivered! I was excited and now I get to play. Let's do it!
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
:D :D :D Thank you! Have fun!
shinypixel
i really love the idea! you should clear ALL coherent blocks, not just the line itself, it would be much more satisfying!
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
Just saw that *you* have a game as well, I'll check it out later!
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
I tried something similar to that, originally. Problem is that this allowed all surrounding blocks, being the same color, (1/?)
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
to make additional lines, and thus the pattern continued until the board nearly emptied.

Must one have a dropbox account to download this?
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
No. Logged out myself to try it and be sure. Just click the little X in the top corner to make the log-in go away.
scurvybean13
Well that was quick also jolly good downloading atm I shall return post haste with my findings.
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
I hope you have fun!

WHOA THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR NOT CHECKING MY MESSAGES Geez this is fantastic!
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
Ha! Welcome back! I've got a new version coming out shortly with new stuff/better menu/pause menu!
plusoneforyou
YOU DELIVERED!! +1 FOR YOU OP!
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
Thank you @plusoneforyou! I am honored :D
plusoneforyou
playing it right now! i'll be sure to drop the feedback!

"Esc" exits immediately, instead of giving confirmation or going back to the menu. Also, I had trouble exiting the demo.
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
Yes. The pause system is something I'm still working on. It is kinda tough to implement/override as I have multiple layers running, but yes!
infiniteblaze
Thanks for the quick reply! Also, the tutorial covers clearing blue blocks, but not red ones; as such, I tend to get reds stacked too high.
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
The fourth tutorial? The first requirement is to get rid of Red (Pressing A), but I'll have to look into that. Thanks!
infiniteblaze
Some of that is getting the hang of the game, though.
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
If you need to get back to a main menu, just press 'Spacebar' until you lose. Janky, but it works for now. Sorry!
infiniteblaze
That's ok. It clearly states that it's in Alpha, and I've done plenty of Beta testing, so I know what to expect. Feedback, feedback, etc.
aviz
Praise it, not a red-green focused game. Hurray for the blue, thank you! Though darn, no Windows. Someday.
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
I'm sorry! The engine I made it on is only Windows. BUT... If this game goes well and is fun, I want to release on Unity (Win/Mac/Phones)
aviz
If it gets released on Unity someday please do let me know! I'd love to play it, it looks absolutely lovely. I do suggest other colours too!
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
More colors (or more specifically, better themes) are what I'm working on for the next week before class submission. But yes!! Agreed.
aviz
If I can make a suggestion, universal colour palettes!
