Blockheads

For starters I love the art direction. The puzzles are fun but a bit confusing. It was the swamping game mechanic(when you press up) that confused me and it was often hard to tell what was happening. If I could give a suggestion I would interrelate the blocks to there changing positions if that is whats going on, like I said it was hard for me to understand. As for the music I thought it was a very enjoyable and the loop was long enough so that it didn't get old so Overall good job. I would love it if you could checkout my game.

Nice, I just recently played some Puyo Puyo and it looks like this is a similar mechanic but turn-based and instead of real-time + rotation you get to choose whether or not you want to drop or reject a given piece.

I cleared all the levels and think it's actually pretty interesting; have you guys considered adding an infinite mode and also some system to prevent you from infinitely rejecting pieces? My first thought would be you could reject at most 3 pieces in a row before you're forced to accept the next one.

The art's also pretty cute and pop-artsy.

This is really entertaining and cute! Though I think there should be some sort of punishment for refusing too many blocks(pressing the up arrow) It took me a while to win, and I would totally install this as an app on my phone if it had more levels!

Loved the art style, and the music really fit. I did find the mechanics a bit confusing though, probably could have used a page explaining how stuff works.

The game was very cute graphically and the music was very fitting. The game itself was quite fun and very nice for 3 days work. I was somewhat sad there wasn't more XP. Good job guys

Nice entry! I particularly liked the music and the game itself was okay but a bit confusing. I played the four levels and repeated two of them again and I'm not sure what is required. What I understood was to accumulate the same color together but maybe it requires the shapes of the heads to be a certain way too. I'm not sure.

The game looks nice but to be honest I expected more content and features from such a big team.

Also, you obviously missed the genre, I don't know why :)

Nice job overall! Cute art and nice sound choices. I wasn't sure if there was a penalty for rejecting pieces, but there didn't seem to be, which means you can just reject them all until the perfect piece arrives, ha ha. Anyway, good work.

For some reason I could not hear any audio, but since other people did I'll abstain on voting in that category. It was an innovative puzzle game. Good job.

For any other last minute raters that want to hear sound: Try playing in Firefox. Chrome doesn't appear to want to play the .wav files.

I rather enjoyed the art here. I was expecting more levels too, but at least that made the playthrough pretty quick.
