I Made The Hardest Puzzle Game Ever

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
- Pretty much Geometry dash on steroids.
In this video, I made a challenging rage-inducing puzzle platformer about gravity. It was made using python, with the Pygame library. It also has a level editor. According to my playtesters, it might even be the hardest platformer ever, maybe even a rage game, kinda like getting over it
After this, I plan to move on to another game engine, such as gamemaker, godot, unreal engine, or maybe even unity, but I’m not so sure, since they partnered with a malware company and laid off a bunch of employees or whatever. Might also do some pygame tutorials in the future.

I was hoping to participate in the GMTK game jam in July, but had to leave for vacation, so maybe I'll catch the next Wowie Jam in August
Quick tip when trying to run the game: PyGame doesn’t use RAM or your GPU, just your CPU, so keeping other apps closed while playing would be ideal
Thanks for watching :)

Thank you guys for watching!
Sorry if the clips shown don't match the described order in which the features were added, I didn't get as much footage of early development as I should have.
ALSO: If your computer still says the game is a virus, it's just a false positive, but if you don't believe me, the source code is on the itch.io page if you wanna put it together yourself.
ALSO ALSO: I have yet to finish implementing different resolutions / screen sizes, as it currently only supports 1920/1080. If you load up the game and the screen looks cut off, don't worry, I'll do my best to get lower resolutions to work within the next few days, hopefully. (Update: failed to implement this, but going into your computer settings and setting native resolution to 1920/1080 might work depending on your monitor)
Very cool!
can you make a mac version
@@TheTacoBros I’ll definitely try! I believe python has a module that can convert to a Mac application, I’ll see what I can do.
@@IrrationalMango can you make a mobile version
@@Shadys63 unfortunately I don't believe that's within the realm of possibility for python. sorry D:
this will totally not lead to unbelievably hard gameplay that may contain frame perfect timings like in the hit game "geometry dash"
2.2
this was exactly what i was thinking
@@snailland 2042
when i saw the 2 slimes i was literally like "hey dual mode from gd???"
That is what I thought of when he showed the flip gravity thing
I thought
S W I N G C O P T E R
honestly, i prefer "the grav lab" for the name, more unique then "a gravity game", other than that, this is INCREDIBLE
grav-lab feels like a rly nice and memorable name rather than "a gravity game" lol
And easier to search for as well
this gam is ot increible there are no ants
i agree grav-lab sounds better and will be easier to search up
yeah and also not "the" grav-lab, just grab-lab.
this is insanely well made and polished, both the video and the game. well done! i really hope this game becomes one of those rage games all the youtubers play, i'd love to see it.
do you think that the game would be better if there were defeatbel ants?
SO HAPPY FOR YOU AAA it’s finally done and it looks amazing!! Chris did an amazing job as well!! It was awesome to see how you went from 2D green block to amazing 3D art, aesthetic is great, 100/100 👏
u m acgualy it's 0/100 because theresno deafeatebl anrs!
So glad to a part of the soundtrack! Thanks so much man!
im gonna check out your stuff it sounds sick
This looks so fun! And like a professional game! This is honestly so cool, I'm gonna go try it out. I'm impressed. Keep it up!
it woule be fun if eteehr were defeatable ans
@@mallonalt Speak English.
hi huntedskelly nice to meet another scratch animator
Damn, you really went all out with this huh?
The game? Awesome.
The video editing? Top notch.
The fact you used creo music for music? 11/10 (I love creo's music)
Humor? Great!
You've got a lot of potential and you're showing it off here very well! Keep up the amazing work!!
based sigma creo enjoyer
@@IrrationalMango Aka every GD creator
@@IrrationalMango adding defaeabtle ants to the game would also be based and sigma!!!
@@IrrationalMango I’m a GD player and a Celeste player
So I love that you used creo and the Celeste soundtrack lol
This is insane bro, literally professional editing, game design and python knowledge. I'm blown away.
WTF this game is actually crazy good for it being made without a game engine! I can't imagine how long you spent on it lol. This video was really good as well ngl
Thanks man! Means a lot :D
Hey, itz DevBananaa
@@kurt2009 Yes
@@IrrationalMango HET C AN YOU PLEASE ADD DEFEATBEL ANDTS TO THE GAME?
4 month
UPDATE CONCEPTS:
1. More slime colors and abilities! I love the complicated aspect of different abilities being useful at different times, so why not make more!
2. A new block or something that changes your color when you stand on it or be around it in some way or another. You could also have this color changing mechanism as an interactive. However, you would need to be able to tell what color you are going to change into (or not if you want some randomization and/or risk-taking).
3. A teleporter thing that can be a block or a portal or whatever. When you fall into it or step on it, you are teleported to the teleporter linked to it. If you wish, you can make slimes able to re-enter teleporters at will. (this one is somewhat complicated, so it isn't one that I really care too much about; but it would still be very cool to see, and would open up so much new gameplay.)
This is super cool! This channel is wildly underrated for how high-quality the production value is, fantastic job on the game dude!
Very cool, I also watch those other game dev TH-camrs so all your subtle references were funny. Keep it up
This is incredible! The designs look simple and the animations and effects are awesome! Keep up the good work! :)
Wow! This is amazing! I absolutely loved hearing your thought process about your game.
I can definitely hear your passion about your creation and I’m so excited to play it! ^v^
The game looks super polished and fun! Awesome work. Impressive level editor too, it's always cool to see games let players make their own creations :)
props to you for coding a full game in python. Thats like trying to cook spagetti in a toaster so well done.
You couldn’t be more right
@@IrrationalMango I coul tho, i am right abo ut how o you should add andts to the game!
@@mallonalt can you rewrite that?
@@Wasser_Saft never in a million years
Wow. Keep Up The Good Work, I Really Liked It
This video was suggested. I don’t know why, since I don’t like hard puzzle games but I liked your narration and editing style. My favorite elements of your game were the mysterious forest aka paralax background and the lava. (I love to explore in games and these two elements made me watch the video to the end.) Congratulations on finishing your first game.
this was really inspirational im working on a game atm and have lost drive thank you for showing that you can make something so cool in the midst of all your other work
I can tell this is gonna be really popular 1 day, its incredible you made all this in pygame
This video does not deserve 7k views, how does it not have more, your work looks amazing
*88k
Normally, I find games on youtube from recommended, watch them, and leave, but your video and showcase has been so entertaining and interesting, I downloaded the game for myself! Thank you!
I'm very proud of you, it looks so cool and makes me want to try it out!
It’s so crazy to me that you did this all in py game, really shows that u just need to pick a tool and make something
this is really cool! i ought to try this sometime, i really like how it looks!
this is genuinely really impressive to have been made in only a couple of months and without a game engine! Your editing is top notch too! i love the water bowl sounds
I first found you from your will you snail video and subscribed,
Boy that was for sure a good decision!
Nice game! It'd be cool if you could make a mode where people could play against each other and maybe a 'race' mode with a timer where the winner is whichever player beats the selected level first
Great video! I can’t wait to play this!
Found this on my recommended. Great work!
This game looks like so much fun!!! I can't wait to download it, and try it out!!
Keep doing what your doing man, and you'll go places!!
I’ve been playing it since day -1!
This game is legitimately really fun! Keep up the good work!
jonathan
really cool video! one change I thought of was making the jump length go up and down, so that if you need to do a short jump, you dont have to press really quickly
also I love how its all made using pygame! its impressive
Super cool game! Glad you're having a good time building back up on YT.
If I had 2 words to describe you and your channel is underrated and impressive
This indeed randomly showed up in my recommended and holy shit dude this is a really well made video. You're very talented!
Also, Creo and meganeko? Great music taste :D
The production quality of this is amazing! G:clap::clap:
Congrats to your first finished game! It looks awesome! I definitely wanna look into it!
Great job, IrrationalMango! This video really deserves more views and likes, as this game is really well done! (I can definitely see these ideas being expanded into a full fledged game in the future, possibly using a game engine like Unity or Unreal)
Unreal for 2D would be a joke. Unity is kinda fine, but it is already losing to Godot when it comes to simplicity or Bevy when it comes to performance. If he learns a Game Engine I would prefer him learn one that is open source.
basically the 3D effect is also a parallax but just in very very small increments and instead of a background its just the level
this is really well-made! Definitely checking out the game, looks like a lot of fun :D
Nice! I like the splash sounds btw. They are satisfying.
I've never heard of you before but the fact that you made a game that looks this good using Pygame and also your general vibe...
Subscribers++;
:)
Suggestions:
-Make a block that affects the gravity like a black hole with changeable radius in the editor
-Create a checkpoint system
-Create collectibles
make it so my 1368p screen can see anything
"whatever goes up must come down"
Balloons,scientists, and btd6 players : Laughs in helium
Can't believe how far you've come since scratch, good luck on your future projects :)
This game deserves be something on Steam!!!
this is so cool, you deserve way more than ur current sub count. earned a sub from me and def will be 100%ing the game
Love that your using a new game engine! Love to see your moving to more complicated coding!
This video was amazing!
I remember a few months ago when you made some videos showing it off from the start to midway of the development
Can't wait for the GD community to get their hands on this...
Yes
2.2 soon😭
I'm gonna download this.
Edit: i uninstalled because holy crap even the lowest settings are slow
@@amnoobi3256 it’s been 6 years
HEHEHE
This just popped up in my recommended and have to say, good job. I would not be able to do this if I wanted to.
Yo dude it’s so cool that you blew up! I used to be a follower when you had around 300 subscribers :). Congrats on nearly 10K
Remember scratch!
yep
where are the ants
The world is coming to a end without the ants
@@concon9999 can he pelaease add defaetble ants ot the game
I remember when you used to make scratch animations. You came a long way from then. Keep up the good work!
This is extremely impressive especially for something made in python an pygame. Great job!
This is criminally underrated, Seriously, You have REAL talent, Keep it up!
Dang, this looks like such a cool game! I'll definitely be playing this when I get the chance. I love the Portal aesthetic.
Omg! You deserve to be so much more popular! This channel is so underrated!!!
This is honestly incredible! I'm very glad I was able to find this channel just by pure chance. Not only did you spend four months laboring on a game IN PYTHON, but you edited a fully entertaining game log with exceptional quality. ^w^
You deserve youtube award of the year. TNice tutorials video truly nails it! Very well explained... The way you cut the bullsNice tutorialt and get straight to it..
wow this is the first video i watch from you and dang you're good! keep up the good work!
TH-cam is telepathically connected to my brain
About a month ago, when I thought I needed some videos from Polygon Donut (I hadn't seen him in a while) i saw him on the menu screen without having touched the search bar.
I literally just thought about this game, and without even refreshing the menu screen, nor using the search bar, this exact video pops up
Damn this is impressive, I also love your animations
Your filmmaking quality is god teir! That intro was fire
I just realized that despite never having searched up Scratch related stuff you still appeared in my recommended. Good for you :D
holy moly, amazing job!!! today i was trying to make a game in pygame and wow it's hard. I have a new appriciation for people who can make games in pygame
New to this channel, and I'm immediately greeted with Celeste music, Will You Snail sound effects, and Celeste music - instant subscription lmao
this feels like a combination of every good gamedev video, the WYS sound design, dani references, mark browns celeste music use, MEMES
this is surreal, you are SO dedicated to make something like that in PYGAME of all things
first time i messed with python took me a month to make a glorified flappy bird clone
This is actually super super impressive! I wish I could play it, because I'm on an M1 Mac, but honestly, that's OK. I know its really hard to develop for M1 Macs especially if you don't have a real game engine to handle the build process. Love the game and your videos! Keep up the amazing content!
I unironically almost choked to death because of "The Funny Box"
But seriously, really cool game! Can't imagine how hard it is to make something like this, as I am still only a beginner in programming.
Overall, really cool video and game, earned a sub from me.
Instant best game, developer channel. and I like how you mention size once and never touch it again
Great! I love it. Games with level editors are always great, especially platformers. It could easily make this game last for years without major updates and still have an active community. That is, if you ever added an easier way to share levels to the whole world. Updating this game to have easily shareable levels (similar to geometry dash’s system) could make this game EXTREMELY big. Could be very difficult to do, and it probably is, but if you make if bigger, better, and add that system, maybe it could be a pretty popular indie game with an active community.
this is awesome! i have an idea tho, you should add buttons and pushable blocks to make the game even more fun! still really great game though
This feels like your making stick with it and geometry dash 2.2 into one game. Good job 👍
THE LAST TIME I WATCHED ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS WAS LIKE A YEAR AGO AND THEY'RE SO GOOD NOW YOU'VE GONE SO FAR SINCE SCRATCH
also you fucking legend using creo and lena raine as background music
I’m very surprised that you made an actually good a game in python, well done!
honestly man, sick intro! i subbed in the first minute
This is very well made :)
Great job!! I'm sure it will be a great game!
This looks awesome!
this looks amazing!
Just found you, keep up the good work
This is great man! I'm actually learning Unity myself, but game development is unfortunately really hard.
this is honestly an amazing looking game. if I could change only two things, I would make the green slime a little more special and I would make the cyan slimes you split into smaller than the original. Still however, I give this game a 5/5 stars, perfectly well done.
Holy cow- this is WAY too high quality for you to only have 12k subs. Just earned a subscriber, keep up this amazing work!
Edit: Thanks for the heart!
Thanks man!! You've earned my respect
I haven't watched the whole video yet but that initial slime jumping system reminds me very very heavily of MO: Astray
Bro this is one of the best looking pygame games I've seen
Yoo celeste soundtrack and will you snail sound effects? Epic pogger
Edit: holy crap dani reference? Concider your button, subscribed
bro u got some good editing
Wow! This is so cool. It honestly surprises me that the person who made this also made (censored for privacy, but it probably doesn’t matter). This reminds me of Dani or other game creators.
*cough cough* griffpatch *cough cough*
Looks cool, kinda reminds me of n+
Also a slime that combines with same color slimes to get bigger and thus make farther jumps would be cool.
Sonic Team: hire this lovely guy. We need people like you.
IrrationalMango: and since the player looks like a slime I gave it some squish too. MiNeCrAfT rEfReNcE?.?.!,.!?..!
No stop
Me: it is
