Nice randomly generated puzzle code. Sound is atmospheric but a bit irratating. Good work completing something so quick!

omg this is very nice logic game with random generator. This game is very nice.

Puzzles were good. Music was a bit irritating after a short while. Good job none the less!

mrnannings 2016-04-18 11:02

Good presentation of the game with the rolling box. Music is bad but it doesnt matter because there are mute options. The level generator is a big bonus!

Ha ha, puzzle 6 is a trap ;)

The music is pretty awful, but the graphics are not at all what I expected after your blog post. It's likely that simpler, stylistic graphics would ultimately work better, but these are by no means awful. Just perhaps a bit noisy for your puzzles with the candy pictures. You weren't at all wrong to experiment with graphics, even if they don't ultimately fit this game as well as they might a different kind of game. :)

The puzzles themselves are very good! The mechanic of having some switch to squares works nicely. We have to work out if it's necessary, and if so, on what piece or pieces. Full marks for Fun :)

Thanks for sharing this! I enjoyed it quite a bit.

holdmeimscared 2016-04-18 11:28

Er, at least, my level 6 was a trap ;) I didn't mess with the generation. But yeah, I had fun. Solid puzzles. Even more impressive if they're generated randomly, wow.

Good interpretation of the theme, well done on implementing procedural level generation!

jupiter_hadley 2016-04-18 12:48

I really like the take on the theme, as well as the concept of your game. I included it in my video compliation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/NUKW4hicpYU

Tetris with choclate. Sweet ;)

Nice puzzle game! I really like procedural stuff and I think this is a good showcase. Well done!

dunin 2016-04-18 19:29

simple but solid puzzle game.

hypp 2016-04-18 20:43

I like these kind of puzzle games. Well done!

owyoow 2016-04-18 20:44

Nice simple but good game

jod 2016-04-18 22:02

Wow. I am impressed! Very good level design and solid animation. Cute chocolates, too! Very well done! Very cool take on the tetris theme of fitting odd blocks somewhere.

landosystems 2016-04-19 03:54

Took me a bit to figure out it was just swapping between squares and the original shape, after that it was challenging enough. Great job!

gyfis 2016-04-19 06:47

I'm impressed by random levels. The graphics is pretty :)

alobker 2016-04-19 17:16

Big fan of the game, not a big fan of the music.

arzi 2016-04-19 19:44

I like the idea of randomly generated puzzles. There's a lot more that could be done with these mechanics.

horsed 2016-04-19 21:53

Nice addition of the theme to an existing puzzle mechanic. I had a hard time at some levels. Couldn't remember the second shape long enough :-)

blobby101 2016-04-20 14:19

Nice idea, very different, and the random generation seems pretty clever too. As others have said, the music got very tiring quickly though!

gromek999 2016-04-20 16:23

very cool

jiihoo 2016-04-20 16:33

Nice Game, but the fact that you can only make one shape in addition to the original shape feels boring. Perhaps more shapes, but it's more about how they are placed in relation to each other (more of the same type that are connected, more points you get)

mango-malarkey 2016-04-20 21:03

Nice puzzle game man! Didn't have the patience to play so much, but I am gonna come back to this!

g12345 2016-04-20 21:18

Great puzzle game.

This is a game I'd like to keep playing later on.

Sometimes it's hard to select the pieces, but I like this game a lot.

neontropics 2016-04-20 23:24

I like it a lot! It's like Tetris meets Mahjong. Impressive random generation!

wg_phancock 2016-04-21 01:11

Great job with the random level generator, and a solid puzzle foundation to build it on.

With some polish (more exciting sound effects, flashier art) you would have a pretty nice little puzzle game you could probably sell on an app store.

luquio 2016-04-21 19:33

nice twist in this game! challenging and enjoyable!

gord10 2016-04-22 18:42

Nice work!

rjhelms 2016-04-22 20:55

Nice puzzle game. I like seeing LD games that are challenging for reasons other than janky controls. :p

Random puzzle generation is an awesome bit of polish for a compo entry.

euske 2016-04-23 11:48

This is my kind of game. Finished in 1.5 hours. Good job!

digital_sorceress 2016-04-23 12:21

This is my kind of game. Finished in 1.0 hours. Good job!

markusfisch 2016-04-23 12:29

Nice game!

matt-beckett 2016-04-24 12:35

Fantastic!

guillaumegwi 2016-04-28 14:01

Great puzzle mechanics, becomme a bit too "try everything" after a while. Keep up the good work.

ludipe 2016-05-09 22:44

Nice puzzle generator, works pretty well. Adding some nice graphics and sounds would turn this into a pretty solid game. Good job! :-)

broknecho 2016-05-09 23:58

The shape fitting games are super neat! I like how you made each piece be able to change shape which allowed for more combinations. Overall an awesome entry!

notruespaceman 2016-09-10 18:29

Found this through Feedback Friends after LD36.

Great game! I love puzzle games like this. The biggest problem is that the control to switch between normal and boxed shape is really hard to use.

Also the music doesn't loop perfectly, which makes my hair stand on end. But the mute options make that not an issue.

I love that it's randomly generated and that the puzzles are still reasonable. Great work!
