Blocker: Duplex [1-2 Player]

Archive: 2 posts


Hey guys, I've created another brilliant level for you all to (hopefully) enjoy playing. You've probably played my level Blocker: Prime since it received an Mm Pick a couple weeks ago now. I've also seen the level featured in a few videos on YouTube! So I thought it was only fitting to make a second blocker game based upon player demand and previous criticism. The biggest flaws for Blocker: Prime was that it was found to be far too easy and got boring too quickly. Blocker: Prime was all based around relations to the number one, (Prime, 1 Player, first of it's kind, use of primary colours) so you can see where I have been heading towards with the second instalment of the game.

This time the difficulty level has been greatly enhanced as two blocks at a time will fall down the screen as opposed to just the one. It even took me several test runs just to get my head around the all-time
brain-tangler that is just playing it.

Basically the controls of the left block are the same but the addition of the right block adds all the confusion. The controls for the right block are effectively mirrored onto the other side of the wireless controller (square/circle move left/right, X to drop or you can use the right stick) forcing your right hand to mimic the actions of your left hand.

There is also the option to play with a friend. The second player will take control of the right block so both players are controlling one block. This will make gameplay very similar to that of Blocker: Prime, but take caution of distraction and collision with the other player's block whilst playing.

The layout of the level has been kept pretty much the same with the odd music and material change here and there to spruce it up a bit. The "How To" screen is now context responsive and will display gameplay instructions depending on whether there are one or two players currently in the level. I also suggest for the full experience that you play at least once with and without a friend.

Here's a couple of pictures:
