Really interesting core gameplay, I think this is the kind of game that would work really well with a juice pass, and fit well as a minigame. Solid overall concept, and good use of the topic.

I like this as like a tictactoe 2.0 type of game. Sometimes there are no moves available, which would be nice if the game detected and gave a draw. It's also not immediately clear whether the blocks under your cursor are already down or being placed, which can be a little confusing too.
So cool!
I would recommend clearing completed vertical lines, too.
Also, it's not too challenging once you understand how to play... Maybe add a third color to make it more difficult to line up 5. Or, combine with the rules of Go to enable changing the colors? It seems like there are many possibilities here. Lots of directions you could take.
Very cool submission :)
This is a lot of fun, played it with my spouse 5 times, she won so I have to write the review ;)
Actually a good idea for a line game, with the concept that you will also play your opponents color! The idea works well but it might need to be adjusted with maybe a bigger playing field, or more shapes with different amount off color and not just 50/100! As mentioned before it would be nice if you could see with blocks you're trying to place and which block is already placed with maybe some highlight around your current block shape. Simple and good, I like it!
I pretended I was two people and alternatingly played for blue and red and I had quite a bit of fun! Well done :) It is sometimes hard to tell whether the block I'm seeing is the one I'm trying to place down or whether it already is.. Would be nice if there was an easy visual way to tell the difference.
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.

It's a cool minigame but I had a hard time trying to remember who was playing :P
