Blueprint Bob

🔹 EXPECTATIONS: a puzzle game similar to World of goo. 🔹 REALITY: a sandbox puzzle game. 🔶 Blueprint Bob is a small puzzle game where we're given some building blocks to make a tower and bring Bob to a certain height (or higher). It has 3 scenarios with 14 levels each (plus a 2-level tutorial) and an unlockable 'Sandbox' mode. It doesn't have a story, though. 🔸 The gameplay loop consists on building a stable tower, that also has to be climbable by Bob. Once we're done building, we can control him directly and put our tower, and jumping skills, to the test. Each level grants a green star for reaching a minimum height, and a golden one for a 2nd height. 🔸 Each of the 3 scenarios comes with a different set of weirdly shaped blocks, and on each level we'll have available only a few of those. So the actual challenge lies in mastering, not only the best way to use each block, but in how to best combine them. 🔸 The physics system/engine is quite simplistic and I think that is correct. It makes pieces more manageable and the overall experience more fun. Towers being more stable means one can focus on the combination of blocks and making them climbable, rather than praying for it …

As I grow older with less spare time and burnt out dopamine system, it get harder and harder to find a game that is easy enough to get into but stimulating enough to scratch the itch. This game really succeed were other games fail. I love the physics and the global scoreboard makes me think of solutions while making the dishes.

Love the game! Been spending time just hunting records. Great to see public player score for each map and how I compete against others. Definitely looking forward figuring out new methods of climbing higher!

Very enjoyable and never gets old, every time you make a mistake you want to try again to fix it and get higher. Music is great and also never gets old even after nearly an hour straight of playing. 👍

Reminds of classic flash games. I like climbing the trash towers I make in this game.

This game made me pivot into an engineering degree
