My Garden Glitch Game - for LEGO fans

Hi all,

This is my version of Garden Glitch. I teach a group of middle school students about Media. They are massive Lego fans so I put a little game together for them. I even had them design the characters on paper and then I made models from their designs. I modeled the characters in Animation Master and used Photoshop for the backgrounds.

Here’s the game: Fig Vs Gig - Extreme Sport.

I’d love to hear your feedback! :slight_smile:

Glitches:
-I had a heck of a time converting up to Unity 5. Backgrounds went totally wonky. Had to reformat it all.
-The Particle Systems are actually little lego pieces but the graphic appears brocken up when I post it to GameBucket.
-Volume for music defaulted to 0. Can change in the options window.

just tried, got to level 3, nice game, I loved the art style!

I found a couple of bugs:
1 - You can deploy your defenses outside the gameplay space;
2 - The game didn’t saved my progress (When I lost on the third level, I had to play it all over again).

Awesome game you have over there, congratulations!

Thanks for giving it a try; much appreciated. :blush:
Yup, there’s a few bugs that need to be taken care of but I’m going to shelve that one for now and forge on in the course work. Thanks for your input.
Cheers!

Fair enough,

It is a good game Mike, I liked what you done regarding the art style. Looking forward to see the next games that you come up with.

Hi Mike,
Nice job with your endeavor with teaching! I liked the game. I am sure your students enjoyed their efforts. You might want to provide some instruction’s for the user on how to select the player and how to place them on the board. You might want to provide a short description between the players like the stop sign for defense etc. I am sure you have inspired our future game developers. Kudos!

Very nice!

I tried your game, very nice!!! I would only change something that I noticed, when you kill an enemy while the dying animation is playing if a projectile hits it, then the projectile disappears as well. I would deactivate the collider of the enemy as soon as its health reaches 0 :relaxed:

Hi, I liked the lego flavor.

It’s great how it is mechanically the same game we all created but it feels different. Makes you think about how great videogames are as a medium.
