 The gently caress is this? Phantom Block is a delightful puzzle platformer made by our friend and fellow goon Gamesfreak, you may remember him from the Zero runs of our X let's play series. What's it like? Sorta like playing a game in a level editor, it's a lot of fun with plenty of well thought out puzzles. But hey, I'm terrible at writing, so let's see what the website has to say. Phantomblock.com posted:Guide Boomer in his quest to collect coins, travel the world, and defeat mischievous Ballums! Use your mouse to change the world around you into mysterious Phantom Blocks with myriad uses: some blocks make walls intangible, others bounce you high, and some even let you stick to the walls! It's in your power to change the world; see where it takes you! Seriously, it's a lot of fun. And it's free! You can grab it from http://phantomblock.com/ and try it out for yourself! This is a semi blind 100% run of the game, I have only played a demo of it a couple of years ago, while Rik, who has completed it, guides me through the more difficult poo poo. Episodes will come out as I finish editing them, so maybe one every couple of days or so. Episodes Episode 01 - Failing at a Level Editor Episode 02 - Fast forward to Victory Episode 03 - Come with me Episode 04 - An Ah Ha Moment Episode 05 - Railguns and the Upside-down Episode 06 - Good Game Design and Salt Episode 07 - Like Tears in the Rain Episode 08 - Boomer's Big Finale MithosKuu fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Jul 2, 2019 |

This looks like a fun game. If you enjoy free puzzle platform games where you also do things with the mouse, I also recommend Beret. Edit: Now I have played all of Phantom Block. That was fun, except for one level. roomforthetuna fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Jun 2, 2019 |

Episode 2 is up, watch in amazement as Mith struggles valiantly through some of the most difficult traps designed by man; early levels in a friendly puzzle platformer! Episode 02 - Fast forward to Victory Death is pretty cheap in this game, it loads you back in pretty fast and, outside of a few instances in the last levels, check points are pretty generous, so it never really feels like a waste of time.

I decided to play this game because of the LP, and have gotten stuck on the final level. Good Luck indeed.

You managed to flip the Ballum to walk on the underside of the ground and then it falls up through a gap to walk on the ceiling to come back to you

This game is interesting and your LP videos were not bad. HOWEVER... There's something in the LP rules about the point of an LP thread being, at the very least, discussion. You didn't technically break any hard rules but I almost gave up on this LP halfway through and I'm pretty sure other people gave up on it entirely, you didn't get many comments after the start. Why? Because you dumped two long videos in a single post. Twice. Not giving people the chance to discuss each video. Instead just steaming on, expecting that people are willing to watch such a big chunk of LP at once (because readers can't even use "mark as read till this point" if you have them in a single post). I don't care if you upload everything to Youtube all at once, but not bothering to put a couple days between posting individual updates here on the forum? That's just chasing away your audience.

Mostly life got in the way of getting everything edited and released on a consistent schedule, and I wasn't always able to update the thread on time. It's also a reverse of our usual setup, with the experienced player behind the wheel and the in experienced one asking questions and driving the conversation. I don't fault our reasoning behind it, but I feel we could have executed it better. Coupled with an obscure game I'm not surprised at the thread's performance, but it got at least a few others to try out the game and for that I am most happy.
