Our mini-game Space Cargo is getting a few enhancements. Yellow lines represent the Alien laser shields. They make it harder to rescue the blue Pods. If you get too close to the yellow line, you rapidly lose energy. If you get in contact with a yellow line, you lose your Space Cargo ship. By the way, the laser shields were Human once. After the Alien invasion and our Y10K bug, the Alien were ab…
Space Cargo is still in early preview. But we've just added 2 features. · You have a certain amount of time to complete the level. After that the Alien spots you and you failed your mission · Score is now persisted. Rescue all the pods in the level. The more energy and time you save, the higher your score. So you can choose to play slow and carefully. Or burn more energy and move fast. Space Ca…
Controls are simple. Game Pad Analog Stick 1 controls the rear of your cargo ship. Game Pad Analog Stick 2 controls the front of your cargo ship. Left Trigger / Right Trigger also let you accelerate / decelerate along the axis of your ship. But this primitive cargo ship does not come with fancy gravity stabilization tools. Aliens ruined our fancy ships, all that's left to pick up and rescue our…
The controls are now more aligned with their layout on your game pad controller · Y - A game pad buttons: increase/decrease size of the selected square · X - B game pad buttons: rotate the square counter clock wise / clock wise It's now much more convenient to decrease the selection, you no longer have to maximize the selection size to return to the minimal size.
From Start Screen you can bring up the Solar System Map with (RB)+(Y) buttons on your controller. The Solar System Map summarizes all your success for the 9 planets / 81 districts of our Solar System. Blue represents liberated districts, Yellow represents districts remaining under Alien Control. In this latest release, Solar System Map now includes a visual of the corresponding planet so you ca…
From Start Screen use RB + Y buttons to bring up the Milky Way Map. This shows your journey starting from our solar system as you jump to liberate districts through our galaxy.
In Start Screen press and hold RB button on gamepad + (Y) button. After a few seconds a map of all 81 bridge levels in Solar campaign are displayed on the screen. This acts as a visual reminder of the disruption you need to bring to Aliens to reclaim the Solar System. Reminder: the regular campaign map is accessed from Start Screen by holding the RB button alone. This summarizes all the distric…
On start Screen your Character's success is summarized by their Score (in White). And you can now see a breakdown of each planet score. It is displayed in blue if the planet has been liberated by you. It shows up in yellow otherwise.
Pluto has 3 nice Shapi levels using the CORNER shape behavior - allowing you to influence the direction of moving tiles. Bridge The Pods levels no longer include hollow tiles. We found this was not that fun to make it harder to build a bridge.
Pluto's second district has a new Shapi level, with our latest addition : the ability to create corners with atoms. Moving tiles like atoms or solid contacts will do a 90 degrees turn when hitting the corner you place in front of them. This allows you to control the flow of moving tiles, while using the basics of Shapi - moving atoms around and staying in one piece!
This week we introduced a new kind of tile in Shapi : hollow tiles. These tiles are transparent and their behavior against other tiles are a little bit like wall tiles but with significant differences for you to discover! Also they allow us to make non rectangular levels. This release includes a new Shapi level in Pluto planet, where you have to cross an area mixing walls and hollow tiles.
The tile that looks like a cross X is the Shapi Worm Hole Gate. It behaves, you guessed it, like a worm hole, with a second nearby worm hole gate. So if you enter it, you exit through another nearby gate. In this release, worm hole gates can now function while moving. They can transport live shapes (in one shot). They can also transport any other tile that happens to cover the X tile. This make…
Two celebrations in this release: 1) 50 Shapi levels manually crafted, some of our finest and most fun - combining worm hole gates and moving wall tiles... 2) Since moving tiles encourage us to create larger levels, it was becoming tedious to use the D-Pad to move the shape one at a time. You can now hold down D-Pad in one direction to move multiple times in that direction. Use the Right Trigge…
Today we have a total of 40 Shapi levels crafted manually, from Mars to Uranus planets. With 2 new features. First feature added : moving gates The latest district 004355203 in Uranus features gates that can move across the map. Shapi is about keeping your shape alive, in one piece. And activating the gates, to solve the level in as fewer moves as possible. Second feature added : laser tiles If…
Shapi is undergoing a phenomenal evolution. Laser Tiles Stuck in a level? You can now shoot laser tiles at walls and other shapes to free up some space. Press the B button on your gamepad and hold it down while pressing your D-Pad in the desired direction of fire. Laser tiles are emitted by your shape, at the cost of hundreds of moves. A reminder that a Shapi level is most elegantly resolved in…
Until now, Shapi has supported 3 different gate types. · contact gate - your shape must touch it to complete level (diamond shape) · path gates - your shape must bridge two of those to complete level (cross shape) · dead gate - your shape must not touch them to stay alive (square shape) A new exciting gate is added in this latest release. We call it the Worm Hole Gate . It is shaped like a x. T…
Radio Resistance has updated stories (how to play the game, pick a different planet, see the solar system map) Radio Resistance is accessible from Start Screen > District Code and enter 000 000 000 . A shortcut is to click the LB button of your game controller multiple times to scan through the 10 channels 000 000 000, 111 111 111 etc. Each broadcast contains a message from the Resistance on ho…
Mini-game Bridge now has a new type of tile: hollow tile Hollow tiles cannot be moved. As a result, districts with lots of hollow tiles are more challenging to complete. You need to build the bridge around hollow tiles.
Start Screen used to support two modes for the Tiny Pods Rescue board game via the (Y) game pad button. · real time · turn based, max 20 moves With this update, TPR only has one mode, real time, where each player or computer player play as they see fit. This simplification was done to make the start screen less confusing - this toggle did not affect the other minigames. This makes it clearer wh…
Solar campaign comprises 9 planets. New player should start with Mars planet. Its 9 districts feature introductory levels for Shapi and Tiny Pods Rescue games. These are perfect to familiarize yourself with more sophisticated and challenging levels in other planets.
Go play Tiny Pods Rescue against district 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 via the district vault. These districts were crafted with the Tiny Pods Rescue editor. They use a new kind of tile, vacuum. Unlike the hollow one, vacuum tile cannot be terraformed by terraform pods or crossed by any pod. This allows us to create maps with transparent portions that are truly out of reach to any pod, human and alien alike.…
