Game concept

Like shipwrightery, create pieces by manipulating blocks of different marerials however blocks are moved by firing blocks into the central playing board from all directions.

Objective

To create the pieces shown at the side of the board.

Gameplay

To start with the player sees a (10x10?) grid. At the end of each row and collumn is a que of 3 coloured blocks with arrows pointing into the main grid. In the main grid there are some more coloured blocks with no arrows on. The player clicks on a group of 3 at one of the edges to fire the innermost block into the main grid(a random new block joins the back of that que). The blocks continue to move in the direction of the arrow untill they hit another block. (Note: Players may not fire blocks directly accross the board without stopping) The aim of the game is to create the pieces of furnature shown at the side of the board. When one piece is in place it will vanish, then other pieces will move, if possable, in the directions indicated by their arrows. It is possable for these pieces to create a combo of pieces. It is also possable for these pieces to go off the other side of the board where they will vanish.

Scoring

Creating pieces scores, combos give a bonus. Making pieces gives a small minus to the score.

Variability

ieces are genereated randomlly as are replacement blocks at the edges.

End criteria

Time Limit or numbor of pieces made.

Difficulty scaling

Higher levels will have an added material, pieces will also increace in size.

Crafting type

Furnishing

Known problems
