The Wall Builder

The vastness here is overwhelming. Is it safe? You don't know, but it will surely be once you build the wall.

Gameplay

Your goal is to build the wall using the provided bricks. Walk to the stack to pick up a brick and move to the perimeter to place it. It's easy; even a kid could do that.

  • Use arrow keys to move the character
  • Press Alt-F4 to deny any aspirations the character may have
  • Two endings

reminds me of the Paul Auster novel The Music of Chance

Great concept. I'd like to show your game in a small video game festival in France. Could you send me a .p8 file ? I will credit you. Thx

Sure, feel free. I have added both .rom and .p8 files. The source is quite messy since I used shrinko8 for compilation, here's the command:

shrinko8 --focus-tokens --minify -c -m -f tiny-rom the-wall-builder-14.p8 the-wall-builder-14.rom

A photo from the event or a link about the festival would be nice.

I like it. It's surprisingly relaxing. :)

yes. the monotony of raising the walls around may give peace but it has some hazards as well.
