I promise I will as soon as I get internet back on my computer ! Thanks for the vote and the kind words :D (your game looks pretty good too from the screenshots !)

Great. So not only do I have to play Tetris, and not die in normal Tetris but now I have to keep an eye out for those invaders? And then I get distracted watching the lovely missile and explosions animation after I do a 4 line Tetris, only to realise I've forgotten that the next piece has fallen. Fucker. (Full marks btw!)

Interesting idea! Very fun to play until difficulty becomes too high. xD

I loved the low level pixel style - very nice. Music was okay, kept the pressure up ;-) Was a bit annoying but somehow fit the theme. The color changing was also a nice idea and the gameplay itself too (finishing rows to bomb aliens).
I found the game speed going a bit too early too fast - was still trying to get used of the controls.

Nice game overall.

Cool game. Nice visual effects and music. Very fun.

Retro mash-up brilliance plain and simple. Very enjoyable. For some reason the "tetris" facilities reminded me of NERV.

I love it! But I find it really frustrating that the up arrow key doesn't rotate the tetramino, because I'm so used to it being that way.

Very retro, annoying music. I'm bad at tetris, so yeah... Great game

Enjoyed this! Loved watching the invaders advance. Great music and good use of color.

THIS IS GREaT!
I really like the interpretation you made of the theme and had a lot of fun playing this version of tetris! Lot of anxiety! XD Well done!

Really pretty to look at.

Interesting mashup, even if the difficulty ramps up pretty fast. Took me some tries to get used to the controls and the fact that you could move the block while on the ground for so long. I guess my mind was already conditioned on how a tetris game should feel :P.

Nice juiciness and the minimalistic graphics worked. The screenshake could've been toned down just a tad though. Audio wasn't too bad either, but I can see (or rather hear?) it getting annoying after a while.

Really solid first entry, good job!

By the way, I don't think there's an easier way to get your controller supported by my game. I should've programmed it a bit differently to begin with, but oh well. Thanks for the interest though!

It's Tetris, with two ways to die. Well, I'll take it for what it is.

Hi! I've been playing little bit during twitch stream. Despite it's tetris it is different because of second death condition.

frosty 2015-04-26 00:36

While it's not completely original, I really like the retro style and execution of it.

jushii 2015-04-26 04:02

I suck at Tetris, so it got difficult for me really quickly! I enjoyed the overall presentation and anything didn't feel out of place. I got so panicky when the guys got near my turret!!! :D

roguenoodle 2015-04-26 14:19

Love the visual style for this! I think the use of a puzzle game controlling the outcome of the battle was pretty unique as well - I just wish it wasn't tetris. Or at least, I wish there was something more unique added to the tetris formula. As far as tetris clones go, though, this was fun!

elpaulo 2015-04-26 15:46

Already said to you what i think about the game on the stream, it's very very cool and original. Love it !

vulture-tamer 2015-04-26 20:58

good clone good clone! :-)

should have entried the 'mood' rating aswell!

flummox2d 2015-04-29 13:34

Awesome, though sometimes the screenshake is a bit distracting when I'm trying to stack the blocks fast :)

pierrec 2015-04-29 18:30

Nice idea and great realisation.
I would have loved to give you complete feedback as you asked on twitter but I don't find much too say. It's just good. The only thing I can see that could make it better is to have the blocks move faster when pressing down. They seem to do, but not much. When you're used to Tetris gameplay and those fast falling bricks, this could be annoying. Plus, it would probably makes the game a bit easier since we're kinda fighting against the clock here!

yuigoto 2015-05-11 16:54

That's a lovely game, for sure! :D As a Tetris lover, this was quite a fun game!
Gotta love the graphics style! Reminded me a lot of the handheld versions of tetris, some minigames and other fun goods from my childhood. :P

Soundtrack is AWESOME, BTW! :D

One of the best mashups this LD. Very polished, and a great first time jam! Congrats!
