About to waste a lot of people's time.
I'm writing a clone of Bejeweled.
If it's half as much fun as the original, it's gonna kill productivity for a while.
Here's the current version. You can actually play it already, it keeps score, and everything.
Sure, it has no sound, and you can't lose, but it's nice ;-)
The tiles are, of course, just a temp job.
What is the game principle?
Where's the download link? ;-)
You switch a piece with a neighbour piece.
You can only do it if, by switching, you form at least a three-in-a-row
Whenever there is a three-or-more in a row, those pieces vanish, and the ones on top cascade down, and new random pieces appear on top.
Larger groups removed add more points per piece.
You can play either by time (against a clock that you push by eliminating pieces), or until there are no moves left (neither mode is done).
Vaporware!!! ;)
It's not available yet ;-)
Looks really promising. I'm addicted to gweled! xDD
