Dot Dot Dash is a grid-based puzzle game with a one button control scheme. The player must solve box and button based puzzles using dot and dash inputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Made using Godot (programmed in GDscript). Keeping the graphics very simple let me focus implementing grid-based mechanics and the one button control scheme whilst leaving some time for puzzle design. The one button control scheme combines with a level timer intended to challenge the player to input the right commands whilst under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was pleased with my implementation of the mechanics, and with my puzzle design. However, the overall feel and synergy of the game could have been better. The puzzles and control scheme together gave the player too much to think about. It can be difficult to drop or change aspects during a jam, but making Dot Dot Dash highlighted to me the importance of focussing on creating a cohesive experience when making a game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video limit-size\"><video height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" width=\"1280\" controls src=\"https:\/\/lukestampergames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Dot-Dot-Dash-Short-2.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lukestampergames.com\/game-downloads\/dot-dot-dash-setup-x86.zip\">Download Dot Dot Dash<\/a> or download from itch.io below<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p align=\"center\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/itch.io\/embed\/463160\" height=\"167\" width=\"552\" frameborder=\"0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lukestamper.itch.io\/dot-dot-dash\">Dot Dot Dash by lukestamper<\/a><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download Dot Dot Dash Back to all games A 2D puzzle game made for the 48 hour GMTK Game Jam 2019, on the theme &#8216;only one&#8217;.
