2012.10.09Bloblocks Stores' text

I am working on the iOS and Android stores description of Bloblocks. This text may also be used on Bloblocks' promotionnal website.

I really hope it is clear and good enough!

Notes:

  • I prefer to make the text personnal.
  • I'd like people to understand that I try to create games for them to enjoy.
  • I also don't pretend to be a company. I work alone so there's no place for 'WE' there. That would be sooooo lame…

Here's what I wrote (some parts were taken from the Ludum Dare event post I made since I liked them):

Hi, my name's Mr Laurent Bedubourg and I present you my first indie game:

Bloblocks, a puzzle/puzzling game developed with love and care.

Game-Play:

In Bloblocks you have to make colored groups explode. Touch a group to make it explode, rotate the world or swap blocks to optimize your explosions but beware that your moves are limited.

  • Arcade mode:

A fun and addictive mode where you try to survive and achieve the greatest score possible.

In arcade mode you have to harvest options and pass score checkpoints to survive.

This mode works with [iOS GameCenter] so you can compete with friends and compare with other players!

  • Puzzle mode:

This mode contains [50] levels using the game mechanics to challenge your brain.

In puzzle mode, you have to find the good moves which will group colored blocks together and make them explode.

Clear the board of every colored blocks to win the level.

The puzzle mode unlocks story artworks, win all levels to get the full story.

Features:

  • Addictive arcade mode
  • [50] puzzles
  • A strange story composed 8 black and white artworks
  • 3 basic actions: Rotate world, Swap, Destroy
  • 5 kinds of colored blocks
  • 11 extra kinds of blocks to make your journey more interesting
  • Music track from http://www.nosoapradio.us
  • 100% passionate indie work
  • A strange message of introspection!

Game's message:

I tried to pour something special into this game (however it is easy to ignore it and just play a hopefully good little puzzle game:).

The game's message is "introspection is fun".

I would like Bloblocks' players to become greater human beings.

We humans are imperfect because of our limited senses and our untruthful brain (our brains are both incredible and terrible, really).

When we accept the imperfection we can start to integrate the concept into our everyday life.

We think twice. We question our thoughts, behaviors and reactions. We understand people around us better. And pardoning them become easier too.

That's a way to conquer our lizard brain, to stop being afraid of everything and everyone, to start doing things of real interest and find the energy to complete and ship what we started.

And only then we can create a new world, a greater overall humanity because many individuals will be conscious of what they are and willing to learn and improve.

Hell, it may sounds arrogant for a little puzzle game! :)

I really hope you will enjoy Bloblocks and share it around you.

Best regards

Mr Laurent Bedubourg, The man who created that bizarre and fun video game.
