esviji

esviji is a free puzzle game where you have to fire a colored ball to destroy other balls of the same color

Crazy blocks

Some features:

  • interface scaled to fit any viewport size and ratio without any visual loss
  • multiple interaction options: touch, mouse and keyboard
  • game persistence: close the game and resume it when you return
  • full off-line support

This game came out of my mind 20 years ago thanks to the great platform that were HP 48 calculators (I've had 3 of them). I loved playing Puzzle Bobble, Tetris and other casual game on my HP, but was also eager to develop my own game (a sily habit I have to develop games to discover new platforms/languages), and came with this idea of a kind of mashup of Puzzle Bobble and other games.

I never found a satisfying name for this game, so I now took "esviji", a word game on "SVG", the technology used for its development.

esviji is open source, under MIT licence, feel free to fork it on Github, make pull requests and open issues for bugs and improvement ideas.

Thanks a lot to…

  • Jérémie for inspiration about SVG's power and assistance finding great docs in Mozilla Developer Network
  • Karl for his kind assistance on Opera issues (some were real bugs, some were my own mistakes)
  • Anthony for his kind assistance on Firefox issues (again, some were real bugs, some where MDN errors, some were my own mistakes)
