Tiny Grave

[uberarcade]

After much debating over game ideas dealing with the theme of "Tiny", we have come up with "Tiny Grave" a match 3 involving body parts dumped into an open grave. We'll see how it goes.

It would be amusing to get bonuses based on certain configurations of body parts. Ultimate bonus if the parts lined up in the shape of a body :)

Good idea for the ultimate bonus.

Here is a screenshot. We have some tiles on the screen. No matching logic yet. Now for the hard parts. :)

Looks really Nice!

The Game Jam was a fun experience! We didn't get to implement the matching logic that night. We got to a point where we have the blocks drawn to the screen in a random order to start out the round. Music is playing. No block swapping yet.

We plan to complete the game over the next few weeks. I have some different ideas on the match 3 logic that will hopefully test out to be fun.

Thanks to the organizers of the Game Jam, and we will post the progress of the game here if anyone wants to follow along.

Nice Idea I must say and also I like the concept of the body part. I think you should arrange the bonus or extra power of the body when the player win more then some criteria. So the player get some motivation also by this.

I have been doing a lot of work on Tiny Grave. It needs more graphical polish, but I have most of the game mechanics working. Here is some video of the game play. You have a limited amount of free moves, and you build up power-ups in the form of alchemist's fire and acid. When finished it will have a story mode, timed, and endless modes. Will also run in native resolution on the ipad.

I am still working on the graphics. Not happy with the look just yet. I am dropping the block look in favor of a hand drawn style. Actually makes it a little harder to play.

The game development continues. I have stubs in place for the story. I have some slightly different graphics in here and some new music. Check out the video...

Here are a few updated screenshots. I am getting close to finishing the game. I think it is looking pretty good. Feel free to chime in.

looks good

Thanks! I have some more work to do bringing the art style together. Right now I think a few of the screens look slightly out of place. I am shooting for the style of the menu screen throughout the game.

I am almost finished with the game. I thought I would put a few more screen shots and an updated video here. I need to add in the story screens and a few minor things. The story screens on the video are just a place holder. That is about it.

I have tested it on every device from the 1st gen Ipod up and it runs great on all of them. It is a puzzle game afterall. :)

Just a quick note we are wrapping up development on Tiny Grave! I finished coding the final level over the weekend. We just have a little more testing to do and some adjustments to the difficulty. It should be submitted by the end of the month. :)

Finished recording the voice overs for the story mode last night. The voice of the narrator turned out great. We decided to record all of the dialog for the story mode. It was some extra work and it makes the game size a little bigger but it turned out really well IMHO. Trying to wrap it up this weekend.

Tiny Grave is finished!!! We should be submitting it this week. I will start a new thread when it is available.

[uberarcade]

Submitted to the App store last night!!! Awaiting approval...

By the way, the full version of the game is AMAZING! I love the story and I can't stop playing it! And I love all the sound effects and the laugh in the background if youmove them and it doesn't work, and how the words are read to you. Just great app!

You should make the bonus super brains or arms or other body parts
