So, I’m finally back with blog content…and lets return swinging with a look at two new modes in Spirits of Metropolis!

\nFirst off, something that I’m rather proud of…a full-fledged colorblind editor for the game. Initially I was just going to add some symbols to the gems and call it a day, but thanks to some major feedback from some colorblind gamers (warning: somewhat strong language in this link)<\/a> I revamped it to it’s own menu. The game will have an option for shapes as well as changing the colors of the gems. Here’s an early look at the unfinished menu:

\n <\/br?>Here’s a look at the new mode called SHIFTER. Its a mode where the user is not allowed to place any gems on the board whatsoever. Instead, the player uses the arrows aligned along the entire game board to “shift” gems into place and create combos. There are only 2-3 colors in this mode, but that will still make it very difficult in the later rounds.
