Hello fellow BabylonJS gamedevs !

Here’s my new project, MonkeyMind, a puzzle-action game.

It’s inspired by Frozen Fruits, another Crillion-like I loved on PC.

Here’s the link to play on Itch MonkeyMind by SvenFrankson

I made it for the Revival Jam 2024 organized by the Society of Play (in 13 days)

MonkeyMind features a Puzzle Editor where you can imagine your own puzzle and share it with other players.

(currently you have to wait for me to have checked and moderated your puzzle so it appears in the community list and you can play it. technicaly you should be able to share it with an URL right when you published it, but Itch does not support URL parameters so it will happen only once I upload Carillion somewhere else)

There’s also a highscore system implemented.

Carillion is mobile friendly (the Level Editor is not, yet)

Next steps

  • Make Level Editor more “user friendly”, it can still be a bit frustrating.
  • More Gameplay (I have not implemented ice/fire tiles yet)
  • Improve Highscore so it can support having a leaderboard with multiple entries, and implement a validation system to avoid cheat.

Thanks for your interest ! Have a nice day :slight_smile:

Very nice game play !
Also, I have to give a huge +1 :+1: for the fact that it automatically works with Q&D on a AZERTY (french) keyboard. So rare not to be blocked due to QWERTY layout :joy:

About the Gameplay itself, it could be nice to try a “all direction” game play, where you move in all directions :slight_smile:

Oui, pressing “Q” on an AZERTY keyboard or “A” on a QWERTY keyboard sends a “KeyA” code.

Supporting Azerty keyboard is very easy, it’s just that nobody cares about nous les français… :smiley:

Congratulations @SvenFrankson !
Nice graphics, pleasing music/sfx and cool idea/gameplay! I like the details (the dust effect when the tile falls into a hole!)

Very nice. I actually played and enjoyed it for more than a couple of minutes. Which is something rare… so, you can consider this an achievement :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: The gameplay is fun and an easy catch. With good levels and competitive scoring you could actually make it quite addictive. Perfect for mobile I would say. It seems to work perfectly and is neatly done. If that’s truly the result of just a 13-days sprint, I have to say I’m impressed :heart_eyes:

Sinon,

Avec mon clavier suisse-français :switzerland: :fr: moi, j’ai aucun soucis :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: :rofl:

Thanks all for your nice feedback :slight_smile:

Thanks Mawa ! It was really for real made in 13 days, but now I tend to reuse a bunch of thing (Explosion, UI Router, VertexData utilities, many math things…) from other projects so it makes it faster !

I think you’re not wasting time trying to work this out. You actually have an awesome base here and could do something out of it, in my opinion. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Hi there !

One month later, here’s an update on this project.

I’ve renamed it MonkeyMind, instead of Carillion, because people where confused by the fact there’s no carillon in the game. (which makes sense, and I’d rather have people be confused because there’s no monkey in it)

  • Graphics have been improved, with a mix of toon texture and outline effect

There’s a few more Gameplay elements

  • Water - Flows only one way
  • Cracked Tile - Can be crossed only once
  • Doors - Can be toggled by hitting the associated Key
  • Creeps that must be avoided

I combined these elements to create

  • 20 Story Mode levels
  • 20 Expert Mode levels
