This is my first puzzle game named Refracted! This is also the first time I have made a game with sprites created by my friend, so I get really excited and want to make it perfect.
The hardest challenge when making this game is basically the box. TBH, at first I wanted to make the box able to rotate in 8 directions, while the tutorials that I found on YouTube only do 4 directions. At first, I thought I could change it easily, but it turns out impossible to do. I have to admit that for doing the box thing, I have to ask Claude AI to help me make it into 8 directions, and after I changed a lot of it, it still hasn’t worked. I finally gave up on making it 8 directions, which makes it harder for me to design the level.
Another things that hard for me is making the hint. I’m actually having some story in my head about the lore, but when I made it into a hint, it just got blurred. Also, to make the player have to open all the hints in the corridor before doing the next level, I have to make a lot of conditionals, which I know. I think there are better options for doing this, but I’m still a beginner. I’m still using conditionals too much, but I finally made everything work! Also, by adding the BGM, sound effects, making the checkpoints thing, etc. There are many things that I just tried in this game!
If you want to play this game, all you need to do is rotate the boxes to refract the light into another box until it reaches the sensor. But, you also need to do it fast! because there’s a hunger bar. Since our character is a human, she needs food to keep going. So, rotate the box, eat, and find the hint about what’s going on!
