I love this! This is seriously cool. I adore games that force you to do two things at once, it is a very interesting state of mind to be in being forced to switch between two tasks. And you pull it off really well - in 48 hours of work, this is damn impressive. The best entry so far, in my most humble opinion. Fantastic work. Polish this up and release it!

I liked it... reminded me of one of my favorite JRPGs, "The World Ends With You". Doing two things at once is a tremendous cognitive delight, although I would have preferred if holding down would make my piece drop faster. But, that's just years of Tetris experience speaking. It got real hard, real fast. Nevertheless, I give you originality points for making me avoid and congeal (opposite tasks?) at the same time. Also, I would have loved to hear music from the mind that conceived this!

Thanks guys!
As you can imagine I had to cut a lot of planned features and the balancing is certainly skew-whiff, but since the general idea has been so well received I'll definitely keep working on it and turn it into something more substantial.

Very interesting adaptation of the concept and also control schemes in game in general.

I found my mind and eyes crossing between tasks, it was enjoyable, at times I felt the strain of balancing the chaos that was going on.

This game is so weird... tetris is sacred!

Wow, I think I need 2 brains running in parallel for this! :D Very nice graphics as well. Not 100% sure I know what I'm doing, and whether it constitutes 'winning' (not necessarily in the Charlie Sheen sense...), but I'm having fun. :)

A very trippy game, odd concept but pretty playable. Hope you develop it further.

I like multitasking games but it got very hard very fast. Very good!

I found this unplayably hard, but I'm giving you high ratings anyway because I love the idea (and also everyone else seems to think it's playable). I'd like to see this polished (and with variable difficulty please!)
