</>What does Game Speed do?
Walking a dozen bricks across the square to the Tower takes a while, and so does every lift ride and every magnet flight. Game Speed changes the pace of the whole game at once. Switch on Game Speed Enabled and set Game Speed anywhere from 0.25 to 4 (it starts at 2): at 2 everything runs twice as fast, at 0.5 you get half pace for lining up a fiddly roof row. It works while nobody else is in your world, because online play keeps its own clock. When a friend joins, the speed drops back to normal and your setting picks up again once you're alone. Pausing still freezes everything as usual. Running faster than normal in the town turns that world into a practice world, so its time stays off the leaderboard; slowing down never does. Switch it off and normal speed returns at once.
</>What is Game Speed?
Game Speed changes the pace of everything in Brick by Brick at once: walking, the Brick Magnet's flights, the scaffold lift and the placing animation. Pick a Game Speed between 0.25 and 4 and switch on Game Speed Enabled. It runs while you're alone in your world, steps aside when a friend joins and never writes anything into your save. Pausing still freezes the game as normal.
</>Common questions about Game Speed
What does Game Speed do in Brick by Brick: Tidy Up the Small Town?
Everything in your world moves at the pace you pick: your walking, the Brick Magnet's flights, the scaffold lift and each brick's flight into its slot. Set Game Speed between 0.25 and 4, switch on Game Speed Enabled, and switch it off whenever you want the normal pace back.
Why does it stop when a friend joins my world?
Online play keeps one clock for every player, and a host running at double speed would fall out of step with everyone else in the world. So the moment someone connects, Game Speed puts the normal pace back and shows a short message explaining why. Nothing about your setting is lost: when the last guest leaves and you're on your own again, your chosen speed comes straight back without you touching the options. If you want speed changes in co-op, the movement and placing mods change each player's own pace without touching the shared clock.
Does it affect the leaderboard?
Only when you speed the town up. The first time Game Speed runs faster than normal in a town world, the game marks that world as practice, the same way it treats sandbox maps, so its finish time won't be posted. Slowing the game down never does this, and your other worlds keep counting.
Does the pause menu still work?
Yes. Pausing a solo game still freezes everything, exactly as it does without the mod. When you resume, the game hands the speed back to Game Speed, so you carry on at your chosen setting without having to set it again.
What options does Game Speed include?
Game Speed Enabled
Master switch. Speeds the game up or slows it down while you're on your own in a world. Switch it off and normal speed comes back straight away.
Game Speed
How fast everything runs: 1 is normal, 2 is double, 0.25 is a quarter of normal speed.
Game Speed is a ProjectMods mod for Brick by Brick that sets how fast the whole game runs, from 0.25 to 4 times normal, while you're the only player in your world.
System Requirements
What features does Game Speed include?
- Game Speed goes from 0.25 to 4 in steps of 0.25, with 2 as the starting value.
- Everything speeds up together: walking, magnet pulls, the scaffold lift and the brick placing animation.
- Drops back to normal speed while another player is connected and resumes your setting when you're on your own again.
- Leaves the pause menu alone, so pausing still stops the game completely.
Best For
- You've got the Bakery's last wall to finish and the right bricks are on the far side of town, so set Game Speed to 3 and the walks there and back shrink to a third.
- A curved roof row on the Tower keeps catching you out, so drop Game Speed to 0.5 and every placement plays out at half pace.
- You're recording a quick lap of the finished streets, so set Game Speed to 2 and the walk between buildings fits in a short clip.
