Very amusing. Would be nice to be able to rotate blocks. Also it seems you can't lose.

Interesting. The random generation was a great idea. You don't really realize how important rotation is until you don't have it.

Cool idea and implementation of the theme. Would be interested to see how a shape preview changes the difficulty. I was sadly never able to clear more than one line in a row. Good stuff though.

Nice idea. Without rotation and because of the unusual shapes is very hard to not mess up the lines. I'd love to see this developed more

Cool idea, just if you could rotate the blocks it will be better. Nonetheless good game. =]

Surprisingly fun and challenging Tetris clone. I like that you took an opposite stance on the theme.. what is Tetris if you don't get to "shift" the pieces? :-) Fun.

I had a few crashes in the middle of sessions. Unfortunately there are no log files so I cannot make a proper bug report.

I had so much fun playing this, I'm a sucker for tetris and you guys nailed it! The randomized shapes are such a good mechanic. I would like to see this finished one day.

Was neat to be able to get some of the more weird and split shapes to fit in some seemingly impossible spots! Definitely a familiar feel compared to tetris which is a good thing! Rotating blocks would be neat but also would add even more crazyness to the placement puzzles.

Good start here!

There are only so many ways one can remake Tetris so I am always a little surprised to see some new twist.

I like the twist taht you introduced to the classic teatris game. I would like to rotate the blocks and maybe have some kind of "next block preview, but good work anyway!
