[Game] Drilltest v1.4 (Release)

[minetestlover]

Welcome to the official release of Drilltest. == drilltest.fun:30000 ==

Latest Version Download:
1.4 https://archive.org/download/Drilltest/ ... elease.zip

With the addition of the POP device, this project now covers our original ideas and concepts. We may still add to it in the future but version 1.2 leaves this in a near enough state of completion. There may still be more to explore gameplay wise with the popping of colour, size and shape but we have yet to think of anything.

This is a project of myself, my daughter age 11 and my son age 7. I am not a programmer but my kids and I have done programming projects for years. Both my kids love minetest and they also enjoy a game called Mr. Driller and puzzles in general. The initial idea was for a mod to add Mr. Driller blocks into minetest. Making the blocks fall and stick together was a fun challenge. After that they both got carried away with it and have done their best to shape a game based on their preferences and the spirit of the puzzle action game Mr. Driller. In my opinion, it's a good game. We made this on an old mac so the code had to be pretty lean but it runs great. Enjoy!

Any feedback and comments are welcome but bugs will take time to fix. We hope to have it as fixed as possible before release.

Thank you tonyph, we hope you like it.

We have released a 1.1 update. Some are features we intended from the beginning and some are new ideas.

Enjoy

[minetestlover]

Version 1.2 released. We have added a new device that utilises the digging of block clusters which adds the final piece we felt was missing from the gameplay.
We hope you enjoy and thank you for playing.

Version 1.4 released. Minor bug fixes for the hud and pop powers.
