@chrisvfritz Awesome !
While I'm holding you, you're also invited to try my other game jam success here (it's got portal and time travel mechanics)

@chrisvfritz Wow, thanks a lot !
Did you visit the three worlds through the "choose level" menu ?
If you want to see more, this demo is a "hd remake" of a game I did last year for a game jam, and that game had other mechanics (3D puzzles, different music, eastereggs):

@DjackDDonovan Thanks for not forgetting me !
The development has been in pause for a couple months but it's restarting ;)

Subtle changes in progress on #LOSSST: now I'm only using public domain textures instead of random Google images, and make color adjustments myself 👨‍🎨

Puzzle count: 118!
Here's the room 3-5, with (I hope) increasingly difficulty. ⚙️
I also added new musics in rooms 3-1 to 3-5! 🎻
(starting with Antonio Vivaldi's "Winter", of course)

Puzzle count: 107!

(at the bottom right, I tested "wrap puzzle + wall". Not sure if I'll keep it)

>> Demo: https://t.co/Tw7rGX1dFZ <<

(Also, I'm preparing the music for world 3. It'll be here soon!)

Here are the first rooms of world 3

As always, it's WIP, and quite easy for now but it'll become much harder in the next rooms 💪

The first (easy) "wrap" puzzles of the world 3 of #LOSSST🐍
Don't worry, they'll quickly become hella hard!
(Snake transitions will be enhanced too)

[LOSSST @LOSSST_game]

Time to start the world 3 of #LOSSST 🐍...
With a new ambiance and a new kind of puzzles (the "wrap" puzzles) !

(WIP! textures are still temporary, that's why you can see a stock photo mark on the snow 😜)

[LOSSST @LOSSST_game]

oops!

[LOSSST @LOSSST_game]

Everything's in the little details...
In the desert world, the snake and the puzzles now sink a little into the sand.

Puzzle count: 92!

The world 2 is more or less complete, unless I find new puzzle ideas with those teleporters... stay tuned!

TIL Chrome can now transition between two background-images by doing a cross-fade 😮
I'm totally keeping that in the game!
(you can try it in the boss level)

Status:
- This summer: the free demo for PC & mobile will feature 3 worlds + about 120 puzzles.
- Later this year: the full game (less than $5) will have 4 or 5 worlds + at least 300 puzzles, hints, bosses and a puzzle editor.
- TODO: hire a texture artist, polishing, decoration.

[LOSSST @LOSSST_game]

Puzzle count: 87

>>> Demo: https://t.co/Tw7rGX1dFZ <<<

Let's start room 2-8!

(Also, organizing the ideas about the world 3 and about the free demo on Play Store and Steam...)

@zaffre_sheep @IndieGameDevGuy Well, currently there aren't textures, the horizontal and vertical parts of the puzzle are made of white/black/pink/tan squares. How do you imagine a different texture could look like?

[LOSSST @LOSSST_game]

Puzzles with wall + ground are kinda hard to decypher...
Does one of these alternatives look better?
#gamedev #LOSSST🐍
(hey this one is not trivial to solve btw 🤔)

[LOSSST @LOSSST_game]

Still adding new puzzles (in rooms 2-6 and 2-7).
Hey testers, are they becoming hard enough?
I'm still afraid to make things too easy or repetitive...
