GBFlip is a puzzle game written for Bung Enterprises 2nd Gameboy Coding Competition.

User guide

In this puzzle game blocks will fall from four directions stopping at the border of each of the quadrants. The object of the game is to line up 3 or more of the same colour blocks, until you have lined the goal amount of blocks up.

In order to move the blocks you will control the Flip Box, which can be placed over the blocks and can be used to flip itself, carrying all the blocks within it with it. The flip box can be used in any direction, including diagonal. The game will be lost when a block that is not in play yet can not fall because it is being blocked.

How to play

Position cursor over the blocks you desire to move using D-Pad. Press A and the cursor will change colour.

While it is this colour, press a direction that you want to move the blocks. The blocks will move as though they were being mirrored in the direction that was pressed.

If you do not wish to move the block, just press A again. The cursor will change colour again, during this time you cannot move, it's doing number processing

Attempt to make rows of 3 or more same colour blocks. Once you have gotten rid of all the blocks then you have won. If you are stuck on a level, press select and the level will reset

Tips

You must never get rid of blocks of a same colour if it will leave 2 or 1 blocks of that colour remaining

If blocks of the same colour are separated by an odd number of spaces, you cannot have those two blocks meet. To get this two into a chain together, you must use a block from elsewhere to attach them.

Controls

D-Pad - Move cursor, Move the blocks in mirrored direction

A - Change the color of the cursor, Cancel move

Select - Reset level
