Blocky Brothers is yet another clone of a well known game. The idea was inspired by Minimal NES on Flickr. Blocky graphics are part of the experience and not caused by my lack of sprite artistry :) The game is released iteratively and the direction is yet unknown. By now it's just a clone but new ideas start evolving during development.

Blocky Brothers second release is live today. Making its Mac and Linux debut! I am very happy for any feedback of Mac or Linux users as I blindly trusted in Unity's build system.

The gameplay is still very limited. However you can win, you can loose, you can collect points, you can die, and you can kill.


Lessons learned: Once you start making a game, even if it's a cover of an existing one, your mind starts to come up with new ideas. I hope that I find to make some of these come to live in one of the next releases.

@TheBowser: Thanks for your feedback. I'll take a look at the package size. Maybe I missed some option building the binaries in unity.

I am glad to hear that it works on Mac though :)

Very good demo! Needs some work but a great start. It was like 93 megabytes on my mac which is a ton considering the 2 minutes of gameplay.
