Jilly's Farm Volume 1 - SokoBAArn!

[Morkin]

At level 24 right now, but didn´t figure yet how to complete it...

Yup - me too... Was pretty much flying through until this point!

Thanks for all the great comments everybody!

There should also be a cassette release of the game next year, potentially with more levels

I’d very much appreciate donations via my site or itch.io if you are enjoying the game

Great stuff. We had many Sokobans on Spectrum already but not an isometric one

We may have quite a few isometric games recently but they are usually made with this 3D Game Maker which offers very few possibilities to make your game different from previous ones. Here we have a brand new engine and I do hope that Bob will use it more times than once

Completed. It did get tricky in the mid twenties, to ease off at the end.

Having a play with the level designer and came up with this:



Level code here if you can't read the pic:

I think it's difficult, but I've been staring at it and rejigging it for a while, so there may be a shortcut that I'm blind to.

Yup, can be completed, a lot of middle shifting and unshifting (get me drift...) to slide those bails around.

Unfortunately I'm fresh out of ideas for new games, so although I have (most of) a 3D isometric engine, I can't think of anything to actually do with it right now. Each game seems to take longer for me to write than the one before, and I'm not sure if I'll write any more, or if I do whether they'll be for the Spectrum or not. But never say never eh?

[Alessandro]

Excellent stuff Bob. I must say I still like the Farmer Jack games more than anything else you have produced so far, but this is a worthy addition to an already great record.

Very cool 3D game!
This Escher's "impossible" painting may give you ideas for a new game.

There seem to be a few Escher-esque puzzle games on the Playstore, like Hocus or Monument Valley, though I had in mind an Escher-esque Pacman where the player could flip between different perspectives unlike the baddies who would be restricted to move in one single perspective. I think it'd be fun to play.

[Seven.FFF]

I agree! I liked the way you could flip in 2D, in Andy Johns' Ooze. An Escher plane game would be spectacular.

I have occasionally thought about Monument Valley on the Spectrum. That would be quite a feat to pull off...
