Would You try out this game?

Hey,

I have been working on my game Stack the Blocks! for about a month or two. Currently it is my first ever full project.

What do you think about the game? What should be added?

Thank you :star2:

Thanks to everyone who helped the game by replying to the previous post :star:

I think that the falling bricks should be tweened to fall, maybe exponentially, and fall through the other blocks. Also, the falling bricks have surface textures, which should probably get removed.

Now a very small detail is the leaderboard scroll far extends the bottom frame.

Other than that solid game!

Hey!


What did you mean when you said falling bricks should fall through other blocks? Do you mean they should not be using physics at all and be tweened straight down?

Also yeah the blocks do have the default Roblox texture. I think I can fix it though.


Oh yeah… That has been in the game since the beginning. I’ll be sure to fix that soon.

Thanks for trying out the game :star:

Yeah, I was talking about the physics, I also forgot to mention that a trail could look cool for the falling parts, that’s why I was talking about an exponential fall.

Excited to see where this game will go! :fire:

Thanks! I will take a look at adding trails and changing the physics soon.

I hope it will succeed one day!

Sad to see that you are using topbarplus, and the interface needs a bit of improvement keeping smooth (“seamless”) UX in mind. Everything in general needs a bit of patching up, but the framework seems awesome, so keep at it (if you get any revenue to motivate you, at least :D)

I don’t think it will ever “succeed”, but it’s definitely a fun project you should continue working on if motivated - remember DON’T SET YOUR GOALS sky high, robux and playerbase is nice and motivating, but don’t go about thinking you’ll be able to earn enough to even DevEx (50k).

That aside, Enjoy the process, and take breaks! This is something i still struggle with too.

Hey!

What do You suggest I replace TopBarPlus with? I found it the easiest option to implement at the start so I kept it.

Also, how would You make the UX more “seamless”?

Thanks for playing :star: !

So far I have made 7 :robux_light: , but that only makes me more motivated :wink: .

I think I have unconciously started to believe that this project might achieve something. Even if it doesn’t make a lot of profit, I would still have learned a lot about planning and finishing projects.

I would say that is more important than a few fake coins :upside_down_face:.

I mean hey, lucky 7 lol. Hope this game takes off for you, looks pretty good so far.

Sweet game, maybe add more features like game modes or maybe an online competitive aspect. And then advertise a bunch and i bet you’d get concurrent players, as I can see this game being addicting.

I think you mean the sound that plays when you got 5 in a row?

Also, you are pretty good already :wink:

Thanks for playing!

The projected revenue from Premium Payouts is 147 though. Do you get those at the end of the month or?

I love the detail! I would definitely recommend and favourite. Maybe make some smoother sides on the GUI. I can see where you got the idea from. :+1:

You could add currency that player earn’s each time they stack the Blocks, you could also add leaderboard and shop to your game where players would be able to buy different block textures, colors, meshes (shapes) etc.

Of course you could also add robux shop where players would be able to buy currency or other stuff for robux.

The rest of the game looks amazing! Maybe fix some bugs and add some better physics, i would like to see this game on the front page!

It’s a bit too late to replace it with anything now. Sorry if I came across too harsh, and thank you for responding :slight_smile:

Most public modules like TopBarPlus are great for commissions, reading, or playing around in general. But, their formatting is terrible. Most of ForeverHD’s work’s formatting standards are above that of most public modules, though even his formatting/syntaxing/styling is not great.

Formatting is key, and I’d argue is more important than pure knowledge. If you’re making your own game (not project), I strongly believe that you should not use any public modules. Promises, Knit, Selene etc. are all strongly unsuitable, ill-advised, and not practical for your own game. These modules aren’t always terrible, though they definitely should be avoided in your own game.

Since you’ve already worked hard enough to use these modules, the best thing to do is to continue working with them, enjoying, and learning.

Right now, my suggestion is that you should finish off this great project of yours, and start learning a completely different area of the Roblox engine. I really admire your efforts and work, but I believe it’s best you don’t dwell on this game for too long. I’m really sorry if I sound a bit harsh.

Thank you for reading.

Hey!

The game already has a leaderboard and a currency. Since the game is in the development stage, meaning I have not perfected every aspect, you might have missed those.

Thanks for playing though :star:
