this is simple but fun! it reminds me of captain n (the cartoon) where he played the big tetris game. It would be better if you can choose the level / speed to start with.

Had to zoom out (~90%) to fit on the screen. I got it part way figured out but couldn't get the blocks rotated. Graphics were fun.
Had to zoom out a bit and couldn't figure out how to rotate the blocks. Maybe speed up the tempo a bit too?
@jshaffer94247 and @croewens thank you for playing. Yeah when I designed it as 1000x1200 I was thinking of just a monitor and not in a browser. Wasn't sure how to resize everything :S to rotate the blocks hit the up arrow. this can be done at any time. If you rotate while on them though you might die a glitch I have yet to work out.
@MartinTristan hey thanks for playing! yes I really do need to tweek this for settings. With limited time though I was still trying to figure out row destruction if you complete a row. I still dont' have that work yet.
Graphics are really great!
I like the idea and looks of it. It's addictive enough to keep you playing for more than a few tries. There seem to be some bugs thought: * you can get stuck in a 1-space location. The audios go crazy but you have to restart yourself. * when you move a part right when landing you will move the next part without standing on it. * when landing sometimes an additional space is taken somehow?
A also feel that the physics could be tweaked to be less low-gravy. Especially in the beginning when you dont have a big pile of pieces on one side (that is how you play tetris, right?) you dont have much time to land on and navigate the pieces - it is then a tad frustrating to shortjump and fall almost as slow as the piece itself, robbing you time of additional jump-tries. All that aside it is a fun game, it looks and feels incredibly clean in spite of the bugs and it is one of the first I have seen that truly went with the theme!
@radow thank you for the feedback, yes...sadly I ran into all these bugs and spent a few hours trying to come up with solutions. I am very green...I ended up opting for animations and stuff I knew I could do :)
Great! The jumping is a little too floaty though. Good job!
@radow thanks, I released a bug fix so you can no longer get stuck inside the blocks. sometimes while falling and rotating you may but the sound will tick instead of going nuts.
@BlazeDragon looks good, I wasn't able to reproduce the bug in the newer version =)
@theslate patched the jump issue
this is fantastic. I think so far my favorite mashup, and a really challenging game!
Also, thank you for making a web game. On a mac, it is sad i have to pass over so many games since they aren't available for mac.
I'm not sure I like the mechanic of requiring the player to stand on the blocks to move them -- it really makes it difficult to have any control over the blocks at all, especially when trying to e.g. rotate them. Perhaps it simply needs some tweaking -- currently, the main issue with the mechanic is that it's simply really difficult, as a player, to pull off.
Additionally, I encountered problems with the controls: - W should be supported for jumping, so I'm not switching between arrows and (Space)ASD. - There's no way to control the character jump height, which makes landing on a piece in time to be able to control it pretty difficult.
Like the idea and the concept. Simple but very effective. Perhaps you can stop blocks moving while player is on it. It can improve the control feelings. Good job anyway! :)
@nikolaj thank you, i'm glad you liked it. I too dislike downloading games, can try more if you quickly open up a browser. Also as you mention cross platform :)
Once of the bests mixes of genres I've seen. It needs some polish as you can die while rotating a piece when you are on top of it, or get stucked in small holes.
A good concept to keep working on it.
very good work, really enjoyable, are you updating it?
An... unorthodoxal take on the tetris idea, but IMO this only adds some unneccesary complication to an already not the easiest game. 😃
Also I'm not sure if that was intended, but I was able to rotate the pieces without having a character on them, but at the same time rotating wit character standing on a piese resulted in gameover.
And it looks like you can move through the placed blocs horizontally...
Good job! Cool game!
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.
