Omni-Lights: A Lights Out based puzzle with menu

Archive: 8 posts


I'm very excited to publish my first level, I hope you guys like it! It's essentially the opposite of Lights Out, so you have to turn all the lights on. The whole level is played through controllinators using just the d-pad and x. From the menu you can select either a 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5 puzzle, and it randomizes when you select one so it's unique each time. I have 2 counters that show how many moves you've made and what the minimum number of moves is to the solution (the latter part needs a little tweaking but I'm almost done). Right now it only gives you a score for completing each puzzle, but i'm trying to set it up so the fewer moves you make the more points you get. Let me know what you guys think!

Although I always hated Lights Out because as a child it was one of my toys, this level is a great idea. I had no problems to speak of and everything appeared to go off without a hitch. Good job and keep up the good work!2011-02-11 05:05:00

I just added a hints feature, let me know what you guys think! Also, let me know if you manage to beat the "minimum" number of moves.2011-02-13 04:17:00

+ Nice menu, and how it flips through the sequence of moves before you start is really great.
+ Never noticed the "5-4-3-2-1-0" bit in that music track, nice detail.
- Name your objects that you give away!
Some great prizes would be the 999 led counter, or that nice font. (that would make me want to back and solve the harder ones). You may have this already.

Boy I am rubbish at these puzzles. I was only able to complete the 3x3 without hints.
Maybe you should give away a booby prize to people who can get the counter up to 999?

Some faults:
- Timer starts before you choose the puzzle.
- Only three scores possible. Perhaps consider race options in the future. (quicker you solve, the more points you get)
- Players still get the same amount of points if they use hints.
- Would look/play better if all the circular lights were viewed as circles. Since they are cut into the material, you see football (not the soccer kind) shapes instead. Perhaps change the level to front view? (change depth of field on camera)

Hope that helps.
Oh, and how do you get the second prize?
I completed all 3 puzzles (with hints), but didn't get the 4x4 prize.

EDIT:
Cheers for the fixes/updates.
I already knew I was kind of awesome, but the confirmation is welcome.
You are awesome for listening/repling to my critical feedback!
I would be happy to test any future levels from you, keep it up.

That is extremely helpful, thank you.

All items are now named properly named
I cannot give away the counter because it is tdarb's, but the font is now a prize for getting all other prizes
The numbers in that font are given away as a secret prize for going hitting 999 moves (great idea!)
You should be able to get the 4x4 after winning the 4x4 puzzle now
Timer starts after choosing puzzle
You now get points based on how fast you finish (eventually it will also be based on number of moves)
Using hints drastically reduces points
I think I'm going to swap the hints and selection lights so selection will be done by highlighting the square and the hint feature will make the inside of any squares that need to be hit red on the inside. That should make it easier to tell which square you're on.
You are awsome!

edit: You are now scored on both time and number of moves.
edit:edit: Switched selection/hint lights, should make it easier to navigate.

Q'ing for later

ADDED:
Finished the level (3x times). Lots of fun, and saving for later. One of the few levels where I seriously want to get atop the leaderboard.

No suggestions, it's great at it is. If you get a chance, you can check out my level.
