Cool concept. Took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize I had to wait for the blocks to get to my side. Probably tried jumping that gap a good half dozen times. Could probably get rid of the middle safe zone and just start the blocks from the left.
Very nice little game. I enjoyed it for a few minutes, avoiding the block is kinda hard :)! My high score is 17 :p
I really like the art style, did you use some kind of filter to make the gfx looks "blurry" yet precise at the same time?
really fun and hard! :/
Love it! Can't get far though, I keep getting hit in the head :D
Crazy hard, but a cool idea.
I love the colors here
Took me a little while to get the grisp of it but I had a good laugh playing it with my wife. She hated the falling tetris blocks :) Great job :)
Very innovative. At this point, the real gameplay elements haven't really emerged yet. But I think this could be a really interesting puzzle / action game if given more time.
Clever gameplay hook. Not too deep, but entertaining and has a nice amount of polish. Good job!
Interesting concept!
Simple graphic and gameplay! I like this! Thanks!)
Good concept, and nice game. A bit hard but i think it's because i'm bad ><
Simple yet interesting! Looks complete. Very well designed overall :)
Haha I love it, this is so random :D
Really fun and challenging, great idea.
Cool idea but i think somewhat flawed. When you make a match the block disappears so you fall to the spikes. I couldn't figure out how to not die! Certainly has promise though.
Tetris platformer ? Hell yeah ! It's a bit too hard for me but great concept & game !
Very interesting! I like it!
Fun to play, but confusing at the beginning.
I liked the idea and was very fun. But the sensitivity of the character control is strange and could permiter control with wasd.
Nice little game.
LOVE VISUAL STYLE !:) also check my project mate.. if you like tower defense weird games x)
I like your concept :). The game is quite hard though, and I feel like the characters contribution is small (the blocks often match by coincidence if you do nothing).
Nice game! reminds me VVVVVV, i like the 8-bit art style. Best score: 19
oh no! I can not stop playing o_o
Difficult, but great concept.
Haha laughed my ass off trying to stay on the platforms when they lined up in color.
Controls are a bit unwieldy, but it's fun and unique overall!
I always jump and got hit by those brick
my best 17/17 :(
It looks so easy, but it's so hard! D:>
Really cool concept. Well executed. Awesome.
This is pretty fun. It's almost got me hooked. And i think with a few alterations I would really like it.
I found waiting for blocks to reach me before I could start annoying. It took too long and as I was dying so often I felt like half the time playing was just waiting.
I think it would be good if I could pick up the blocks and carry them above my head and throw them. At the moment it just seemed like luck when I got one.
This was really fun! Gonna play some more :)
Really fun :)
The randomness gets annoying at some points. Other then that I had fun playing it. I got a highscore of 27.
If anyone is interested, I put together a quick postmortem: http://ludumdare.com/compo/2014/12/08/chamber-postmortem/
Great idea, I think you could make the game even better by removing some of the what to me appeared as randomness.
I really like this idea! In practice, it's a bit too random; I think I maybe got two intentional matches out of the few minutes I played. Most games I started, I got crushed by the block over the left safe zone because the blocks on the spikes matched. It's also really hard to push the blocks around; maybe the game could have used a pick-up/carry mechanic?
This idea could really go somewhere! Just needs a bit more to it.
It's very hard (or I suck)! With more animation & polishing, this could be a VERY solid game :) It's an awesome entry, though :)
Very fun and difficult, and a nice graphics style too. I don't like the way you have to wait at the start for the blocks to sweep across; I think it would be better to have the blocks come from random positions.
Great game, I love the interesting mix of precision platforming and problem solving. The graphics and sound are great as well. Simple, put the whole package comes together well.
The only thing I would improve would be to make the controls a bit more tight, less floaty.
Nice and simple game. Very funny and polished.
Took me a little while to understand the mechanic but after that it was quite addictive. Weirdest tetris clone I've ever seen :)
I think it would have been nice if the game starts off with a row of blocks already fallen down, because you can't really start taking actions until that point anyway.
Neat concept!
Found it kinda hard to push any blocks up to match, spent most of the time dodging those falling blocks!
Hard to play, but still fun and good looking. Good job. ;)
30!
Interesting! You've actually gotten something that's playable and is fun, heh. The graphics and sound are great; the only issue I have is that the game is pretty unforgiving...You really have to keep on your toes and make sure to jump through every time the blocks "come around" to where you are. Good work, though!
I had a lot of fun playing this game, even though it was relatively simple! Good job!
I think the change I would most want to see would be some animation for the character. It's not too hard to do!
I think I'm going to polish this up and call it 'Pit and the Puzzle Blocks'.
A silly little physics game, couldn't be described better.
and I meant this in a good way.
But that's great, one of the most engaging game I've played so far. I love that rythmic block dropping that makes it easy to anticipate, there's a survival feeling, sometimes you are in helpless situation, you take your chance and make one big jump. Very cool stuff. Could be easier though, I don't know how...
5* for Innovation. Hard to master, but after a while you take the control of the game.
Well made!
I had similar issues to GreenyUK. While I'm not too great at platforming, I was having a tough time trying to figure out how to not die. :(
I managed to get a high score of 16, but it was mostly due to sheer random chance in terms of the falling blocks, and I felt like I really did nothing to earn that score.
The art is well done, and the idea of pushing blocks around and matching them and avoiding falling blocks is alright -- there's just too much death potential. Maybe if there weren't any spikes on the floor?
the moving when not having to push anything didn't always work. felt quite floaty when playing. no way to move blocks by pushing them down with your weight.
Nice little idea. It's quite challenging, I like it. ;)
Really cool idea and a lot of fun! A litle more polished and better, sharpher controls you really got a fun game here : )
It was okay, but I didn't really feel I had control of what was happening. Jump, push blocks together, score some points, get hit in the head. Could become something great though :)
I somewhat like the concept and for a simple physics game I liked the pixel art and sounds. Just too hard to make it fun for long for me.
Cool idea and fun to play. Great entry.
Very cool concept. I think it's a little to hard at first. I think maybe if it was more of a vertical screen view that would help to see whats coming?
Very nice) Interesting gameplay, but maybe if brics wont hurt will be easier to play
Nice concept. It's just too hard to actually push the blocks together without dying and the platforms are too far away from each other. Has potential though :)
Nice game. Really liked it..
nice game, got 24 after I got the puzzle mechanic
Lack of good instructions took me a while to figure out the basics(and don't know if there was more advanced never lived long enough)
Love the sounds! Wasn't quite sure how to play it though!
Interesting idea!
I thought the puzzle mechanic was simple and clear, and it was presented cleanly--it didn't take me much time to figure out what was going on.
With the speed of the movement combined with the ever-changing landscape, I think it would have been nice to have had an indicator to tell me where the next block would fall to give me a little bit more time to react.
Either that or googley eyes. Googley eyes would really take it to the next level.
Very cool and fun game! Also nice concept.
It was quite hard in the start but when I got the grip of it I really enjoyed it! :D
Nice game overall. I would make the cubes starts poping on the same side of the player. This way we don't have to wait one turn to start playing.
I really liked this. It was simple and a nice twist on Tetris. It was very tricky though.
Good idea. A bit too annoying because you die too easily.
Interesing idea. Mixing some of my favourite games on one piece of cake. Like it. Congrats :)
Very cool, very well made, fun to play too. My only suggestion would be,if you decide to continue development, add some new game play features like an enemy maybe.
Nice tetris game, with innovative game play. Well done! :)
Funny idea ! I think this is just a little too hard. It's hard to combine pieces, and basicly this is more juste random than anything. But it's still fun !
Silly but great! Dynamic levels can be very rewarding, and the physics makes it quite a bit of fun! Adding some other guys to the level could be good, maybe some random hoppers or flying bats or somesuch. Anyways, nice job, really liked it!
A platformer with tetris blocks. Why not? Love the sound effects.
Fun little game enjoyed it a lot actually still trying to figure out how I actually collected the score other than that it was a very solid entry.
Ok, when you are anticipating your next jum, and the blocks disappear because they match, and you've already jumped.... ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Good game. Quite hard. I see many rage-quits in this game's future.
Very innovative! Nice game
The idea is really good, but the game lacks agency.. i often feel i did not have have a fair chance before dying
Nice idea. It's pretty fun/funny to be rushing around inside (sort of) tetris and it's harder than it looks.
This was pretty hard. It made good use of tetris blocks, and the platform mechanic, and it kept me coming back a few times. Perhaps add difficulty settings, because although it was good, it was also frustrating.
Very interesting idea and decent execution! ps. when you comment on a game you could leave a slightly more detailed explanation on why you couldn't get the game to run. It would be more helpful. Just a heads up bro!
Wow, that was hard and unexpectedly fun! Thanks!
That was cool, but the difficulty is quite high :) would be cool if the blocks fell slower in the beginning so you can get used to it.
I can see a lot of potential in this, giving the character additional powers to manipulate blocks or protection etc.
nice concept, cool game as result ;]
gj!
Interesting ++
Pretty fun and hard! I liked it!
Nice idea, definitely something that could be built on. Controls are a bit hit and miss, and its a bit difficult to get very far, but lots of potential here.
