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 to not wobble too much. 🔸 The game comes with a score leaderboard with which we can compare our achievements to others'. It also has the option to share solutions between players, thanks to a codes system, mainly shared through the game's Discord. 🔸 Blueprint Bob is a small and short game, but its nature as a sandbox can make it give back as much as one is willing to invest. If you're after a puzzle game with open solutions, sharing them with others and competing for high scores, this is a good option.
