RULES
======

(===============
 USING TERMINALS
 ===============)

(Erase all blocks of the given type that aren't on a starting floors, including ones that are filling pits.)
[ACTION Player | Terminal Floor1] [Block1 no Floor1] -> [ACTION Player | Terminal Floor1] [ ]
[ACTION Player | Terminal Floor1] [FilledPit1] -> [ACTION Player | Terminal Floor1] [Pit]
(Fill in all starting floors that DON'T have the proper blocks on them with blocks. This check prevents the sound effect from playing if a terminal doesn't actually do anything.)
[ACTION Player | Terminal Floor1] [Floor1 no Block1 no Terminal] -> [ACTION Player | TerminalPlaceholder Terminal Floor1] [Block1 Floor1] sfx0

(Repeat for the other block type. Copy-pasting, yay.)
[ACTION Player | Terminal Floor2] [Block2 no Floor2] -> [ACTION Player | Terminal Floor2] [ ]
[ACTION Player | Terminal Floor2] [FilledPit2] -> [ACTION Player | Terminal Floor2] [Pit]
[ACTION Player | Terminal Floor2] [Floor2 no Block2 no Terminal] -> [ACTION Player | TerminalPlaceholder Terminal Floor2] [Block2 Floor2] sfx0


(===============
 PLAYER MOVEMENT
 ===============)

UP [> Player] -> [> PlayerUp]
RIGHT [> Player] -> [> PlayerRight]
DOWN [> Player] -> [> PlayerDown]
LEFT [> Player] -> [> PlayerLeft]

(Pits are on a different collision layer for reasons, so manually block player movement into them.)
[> Player | Pit] -> [Player | Pit] sfx1


(==============
 BLOCK MOVEMENT
 ==============)

[> Player | Block] -> [> Player | > Block]
late [Block1 Pit] -> [FilledPit1]
late [Block2 Pit] -> [FilledPit2]


(======================
 TERMINAL RANDOMIZATION
 ======================)

(When the player hits a terminal, change the screen to something different than it's already showing.)
[TerminalPlaceholder Terminal1] -> [random Terminal2 random Terminal3 random Terminal4 random Terminal5 random Terminal6]
[TerminalPlaceholder Terminal2] -> [random Terminal1 random Terminal3 random Terminal4 random Terminal5 random Terminal6]
[TerminalPlaceholder Terminal3] -> [random Terminal1 random Terminal2 random Terminal4 random Terminal5 random Terminal6]
[TerminalPlaceholder Terminal4] -> [random Terminal1 random Terminal2 random Terminal3 random Terminal5 random Terminal6]
[TerminalPlaceholder Terminal5] -> [random Terminal1 random Terminal2 random Terminal3 random Terminal4 random Terminal6]
[TerminalPlaceholder Terminal6] -> [random Terminal1 random Terminal2 random Terminal3 random Terminal4 random Terminal5]

(On level start, just pick a random screen with no restrictions.)
[TerminalPlaceholder] -> [random Terminal1 random Terminal2 random Terminal3 random Terminal4 random Terminal5 random Terminal6]


(=================
 DEATH, APPARENTLY
 =================)

(You died. How did you even die? You did this on purpose, didn't you.)
[Speck] [SpeckMessageA] -> [Speck] [] message Okay, well, that's the easy place to die. Don't get too proud about having flung yourself into a pit.
[Speck] [SpeckMessageB] -> [Speck] [] message Okay, I'm legitimately impressed you died there. Now quit clowning around and rewind time already.
late [Player Pit] -> [Speck Pit] again

message Hey, use that forklift to clear a path through these blocks to the back so we can unload the trucks.
message If you mess up, drive up next to a gray terminal and hit [X] to reset the blocks to their original positions.
message Each terminal only works on one color, so you'll have to hit both to reset everything.
message It's inconvenient, I know, but the mark 2 terminals are still in the truck.

(min. # of resets: 2)

message Hit [Z] to undo the last move, and hit [R] if you get extra stuck and want to reset everything from the beginning, including yourself.

message Special shoutouts to PUZZLETALE by Connorses, which directly inspired this in two ways.


(

Outtake puzzle that I found really hard to cut. I like it because it *strictly* requires you to do something that none of the other puzzles do (although it does nicen up a couple of solutions). However, aesthetically it clashes really hard with the others, which are all geometric/symmetric.

The puzzles that I write tend to "look" like puzzles; typically I design them around an idea or maneuver I want the player to perform, and so they end up having noticeably asymmetric regions to the player can certain ways, or blocks/pits in inconvenient places obviously to complicate things, and so on.

As an experiment, my design philosophy for this game was to try to get away from that: I didn't want the puzzles to look like they were clearly designed with a solution in mind. I don't think I was entirely successful in that goal (particularly #6), but I'm generally satisfied that the feel of this game is a little different from the stuff I usually make.

This outtake puzzle is very much in my usual vein of puzzle design, so it doesn't fit with the rest.

Is anyone even reading this? :J
