Squared

by Zilla · in Torque X 2D · 09/08/2008 (12:34 am) · 13 replies

I will submit my newest game "Squared" to the Dream-Build-Play 2008 Challenge. It includes Platformer Kit and other TXB components. I call it a puzzle-platformer because you have to jump on different blocks to build walls that you can climb to reach checkpoints and to finish the level. I will post more videos and a demo soon.

Hmm, for an XNA noob, how does one play one of these? I do have XNA/C#/TorqueX installed just been a while and totally forgot.

Zilla great game. I love the effects.

@James just download and click on the icon. If you have everything installed it should work fine.

James, if you have XNA 2.0 installed and device manager pointing to your Xbox 360, and your Xbox 360 is running XNA Connect in the "Waiting for Connection" screen, then double-clicking the .ccgame file will automatically begin the game upload and install to your Xbox.

James,

Please note that I uploaded the windows version of my demo. So when you download and double-click the .ccgame file it will automatically install the game on your windows pc. I will upload the XBox360 version soon and then you will have to follow John's instructions.

I realized that my demo is missing a detailed tutorial and that you need some explanations.

So here is the splash screen of my demo. It explains how to play the game and what the different squares mean.

Click on the image txo display a larger picture (1280x720):
