An interesting variation of the tetris game.

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ i love this game but it's so hard

It is hard, especially when you revert to Tetris reflexes. Which even as one of the developers I would usually do four or five levels in... Thanks for taking a look!

Clever twist on tetris

Cool take on tetris and shapeshift. It takes a while to get use to the speed of the game, and get used to the shapeshifting mechanic over regular tetris; but it is quite cool. Got used to it on my 3rd game and was able to survive for quite a while!

Interesting mix up of tetris, I like how you changed the goal as well, so it wouldn't be so easy

Oh man, this is brutal in the best way possible. I haven't felt this useless at playing a Tetris-like game since I tried bastet - but this is even worse, because bastet just hates you, where as this isn't even really Tetris.

I love it!

I like the music and the theme. The game was way too hard for me though. I had a hard time getting used to the fact that the shapes change, not rotate.

It seemed realy similar to tetris and was interesting.Good job.

Google drive asks me to login...

I really liked the music used in the game . An interesting variation of tetris . I think if I started slowly and were increasing the speed would be more interesting! Very good.

@scorched - I just verified that it does ask to login on the far right top of the window. You don't have to login, though. There is a button at the top middle of the window that looks like an arrow pointing to a horizontal bar. That's the download button. I'll look into getting a direct download link working as soon as possible.

Super great twist on the Tetris formula. I was surprised and smiled once I tried to rotate the shape and just ended up with another one. I also really liked attempting to fit a specific shape rather than just clearing lines. Great job!

Interesting variation on the theme.

Well done!

Great game. The pieces come down a bit fast, and so it was difficult to choose the piece I wanted. I wanted to see the ending, but I couldn't tell how many machines I needed to build, so some progress indicator would be good so that you can see your progess. Nice music and well put together.

@terryg - We had plans for that, but they fell on the cutting room floor. The checkerboard level is second-to-last, if that helps.

I like the background music

yazara 2016-04-28 19:12

Really cool idea!
You should definetely slow down the gameplay though. The speed would be nice for a later level, but it's way too difficult when you first play it.

tomlum 2016-04-30 03:42

Very cool, a very frantic feel not knowing what shape was next.

One of the best games I've played during this LD! Awesome Job!! Hard to get the hang of it but it really makes you think!

thecain 2016-05-04 01:07

Clever.
It crashed on the 'slanted fill' level.
I think you should add a slower option for losers like me.

Nice spin on the tetris formula, quite challenging game despite what it looks like.

pikmin4000 2016-05-09 04:08

It is a hard game to complete, but I do like Tetris! I wish there was more of a storyline to push myself to challenging myself. Or perhaps have level 1 be something I can accomplish.
