I broke the game by moving onto a pile of blocks right before hitting the ground, which sent the stack sky-high :P

Do the colorful blocks appear later on? They look quite interesting, especially with the overlapping lights.

lamprabbit 2013-04-29 02:39

Has a match panic feel to it, nice work! Also loved the camera shake you had as the block hit the ground!

enp 2013-04-29 02:43

Great submission keep up the good work!

broxxar 2013-04-29 03:03

I was at like 70 points and I had never let a block land on top of another. Naturally I was like "pffty, what twist? camera shake and lighting?" Then it happened. Cubes... cubes everywhere.

Simple and fun, great work.

somenetworkguy 2013-04-29 03:36

Nice job. Fun little game you've got here.

ecool377 2013-04-29 03:59

Cool game needs audio

gafblizzard 2013-04-29 04:26

You might want to add a fast-drop button since impatient Tetris players might want it. :P

I didn't know there was any twist until I read the comments about stacking blocks -- three in a row seem to always vanish, so I wasn't sure if there was any reason to stack blocks on top of each other. Once I thought I saw a block bounce.

Great game, run 'Evolved', hold down, win...

uhfgood 2013-04-29 04:44

hilarious, it gets crazy

predominant 2013-04-29 05:18

Nice work! The lighting is excellent. Ran into a problem with stacking, but overall looks good!

nseward 2013-04-29 05:22

Great. Very simple yet awesome.

felix20 2013-04-29 05:29

That was sweet, though some music certainly would have helped it out a bit.

taro 2013-04-29 06:53

At first, I was like...???

Then I was, Oooooooooooh, that's the twist. Clever, clever!

hemuuuli 2013-04-29 06:56

I loved this, I wished you had went even crazier with effects and added sounds!

infernal 2013-04-29 07:03

sounds would have taken this way further! it was fun as heck with the visual effects and lighting in the higher speeds.

mekuri 2013-04-29 07:28

This is a very simple game, which suits the theme. At first I felt like it was a bit boring, but then the colors start comming, and when you get close to 100 the speed really kicks in. I had fun playing it, although sound would have been very nice.

linuus 2013-04-29 07:59

"Weeeell... this is boring..."
...
"OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING?!? PAAAANIIIIIC! XD"

Great game! :D

tiffi 2013-04-29 08:56

Enjoyed it, but took me quite some time to realize whats happening :D

joritan-cety 2013-04-29 09:33

Interesting game, cool concept!

diamonde 2013-04-29 11:22

I didn't understand whether the colored cubes could be matched in some way and give more score or not, and by only letting the cubes fall I got double the score compared to when I tried to actually form some color matches.
The simple visuals was really cool and I could swear I heard the cubes crash into the ground before I realized there was no sound at all in the game :D

amour-maternel 2013-04-29 11:42

I didn't get it. Is it a tetris with cubes?

xgeovanni 2013-04-29 11:53

I thought it was going to be really easy, but by damn it gets fast. Beautiful use of lighting to make a minimalistic but attractive game.

timtipgames 2013-04-29 12:27

oooh i whish this had sound. It really needs some nice stomping sounds to make the impact even harder in my opinion :) Really liked how it turned out to be not only another tetris game. Also the lighting looks really nice. Well done.

grimpunch 2013-04-29 13:02

Wish it had music! :D otherwise fun

rmatey 2013-04-29 13:58

Great idea, love the effects and really enjoyed the shockwaves.

villhest 2013-04-29 14:17

Awesome game! I love the effects!

aksami0 2013-04-29 14:19

It was nice game.

reustonium 2013-04-29 14:33

nicely done, I enjoyed the game play, but would have liked better lighting in the scene and maybe some simple-understated textures.

geoege 2013-04-29 15:34

At baginning i was, "Oh god that game so boring..."
but when my blocs started to get away of their plan i was like "Wut ? Oh !!! So cool."
Collision feedbacks are really nice.
Gameplay a bit to simple, but works nice.
Good work.

rialgar 2013-04-29 17:01

Most things allready said, I like how impatient players will never get to see the fun part

martin_monosys 2013-04-29 17:53

This shows how a simple idea can be great fun. The fast action gets your pulse racing, and the multicolor neon cubes look soooo cool! Just needs a funky disco/techno soundtrack and some fx... :)

fabienporee 2013-04-29 18:16

Cute :)

cryogenesis 2013-04-29 18:20

Nice take on classic.

xatulu 2013-04-29 18:31

I really enjoyed the graphics and gameplay, those neat little effects you added are nice, keep up the good work!

thevideogamemechanic 2013-04-29 18:33

Nice feel of panic after a while when there start to be left overs on the field. Like how it sneaks up on you.

iamorim 2013-04-29 19:01

Wow! I enjoyed this game a lot!! Nice touch about the camera shake. Amazing colors ^_^

zampi 2013-04-29 19:21

That realy cool! Simple and fun

girlflash 2013-04-29 19:36

wow, that becomes amazing out of nowhere! really wish it had some sounds though! :)

tobiasl 2013-04-29 20:00

Simple and fun. Got really hectic after a while.

liamlime 2013-04-29 20:24

The first 10 rows don't prepare you for the next 40, which don't prepare you for the rest :)

purplemoustache 2013-04-29 21:25

Fun game. Gets fast kinda quick. Sometimes a bit hard to change lanes when a stack gets stacking.

zerebruin 2013-04-29 21:36

Very nice rythm to it!

fabricio-brito 2013-04-29 22:09

Why didn't you start or at least offered the evolved option from the beginning? I wouldn't mind having more than 3 lanes to work with... Nice lights and shake effect, though.

ming_tea 2013-04-29 22:20

Fun! Got pretty crazy at the end.

waynetron 2013-04-29 22:34

Nice touch adding the lighting. Audio would have made this game really come together.

theomnis 2013-04-29 23:10

This reminds me of a game I once made, so of course it's awesome :)

gaeel 2013-04-29 23:24

NEEEDS MUSIC SOOOO BAD!

shohs 2013-04-30 00:59

Good game, although it could have used some sound. At first I thought, "Hmm, this is really easy," and then it got crazy. I liked that the blocks emitted light too, it added a nice graphical touch.

cherrynukacola 2013-04-30 03:56

Hahaha, that was fun. Well done, thanks!

lotusgame 2013-04-30 09:05

Good physics engine. Needs some sounds. Good job !

bender 2013-04-30 13:33

Wasn't expecting this "Panic!" situation. That was stressful ^^

anatolat 2013-04-30 13:58

Like the simplicity of the idea. Illumination also looks very appealing. As the others already said, this game really needs some good music on background.

christina-nordlander 2013-05-01 21:46

Gameplay is nothing special (though it's an OK way to kill a minute or two), but I like the various graphical tricks you played with the blocks, and the increasing difficulty. The fact that the blocks could topple over was a nice touch. In short, very simplistic, but polished.

SPOILERS

I also like that you gave the option to play "pure" or "evolved" once you unlocked the "evolved" level.

christina-nordlander 2013-05-01 21:53

OK, turns out I quit just before things started going crazy. Think I'm gonna have to increase my score a bit...

mrexcessive 2013-05-02 20:48

Cool to play, bit boring after a while but mania in the meantime. Love it when changes to blocks carrying lights. Nice visuals. Grab away of blocks on completed line is very effective.

tammilion 2013-05-03 16:48

Haha this was so much fun! I was trying to get high stacks and then make them fall over! Loved it ^^

badlydrawnrod 2013-05-08 19:58

Gets a bit frantic as it progress. I like the lighting on the coloured blocks.
