Snap to Grid
2009


Snap to Grid is a single-room puzzle game where your goal is to use the tools at your disposal to get to the goal before the advancing wall of DOOM reaches you. It's my first Ludum Dare entry ever, and it features a convoluted control scheme which was a signature feature of most of my early LD entries. Luckily the turn-basedness saves a lot here.

The game explains the basic rules at the start screen, but do note that due to jank in the way it is coded, the motors falling down due to gravity seemingly spends one turn. I added a counter in the top-left corner in 2024 to make the timing of the wall of doom easier to follow.
