The globulator was too generous
I upgraded my Claude plan, and the first thing I started on was Polymatrix. The globulators, which are the life rafts, appeared too often. Once you got one to hit a wall, it instantly moved everything touching the wall out of the glass container. It was too easy.
So now, once a globulator appears, it can only save three ice polygons and then it disappears, although several can show up. As you get further through the levels it gets harder: it shows up only two times, and then just once by level 94. By 6:50 p.m. I’d created a new AAB version.
Updates with Lance
I was making updates to Polymatrix while Lance and I hung out together. It was fun. I enjoyed spending that time with him.
The first gameplay video
At around 9:00 p.m. I started making videos. I used my own screen recorder app to record myself playing Polymatrix, uploaded the video to Twitter, and wrote a short article to go with it.
