Pretty cool. I'm not a big puzzle game fan, but this is well polished, easy to understand, and potentially frustrating - what all good puzzle games need to be :D
Those sounds though, love them. :P

Take a look at **Quadrata Minima** by classEgames' Weekend Warriors!
It is a fun match 3 game where the play area keeps shrinking until you are literally *Running Out of Space*.
Nice puzzle game, I like how the patterns are creative and not just the classic tetris ones. Wish there were more interactions/levels. Gotta appreciate those mouth-sfx. Nice work!
Great game. Just the right amount of stressful :). Liked the sounds as well. Nicely done!
Nice puzzle game! The sound when it shrank got me every single time, haha. I didn't do too bad either, 5360!
That was cute and well executed. I like how you worked with the theme and how the challenge scaled. Well done.
Awesome game. Loved the sound effects and the art works well. Good stuff!
Really great game, had a lot of fun playing it. was using my wifes laptop which has a touch pad that i'm not used too, so was a little limited except for point and click, couldn't rotate it around. but excellent work.
NOTBADGUN )) 1060 score! Good luck!
I can't handle those sound effects (in a good way)! I'm used to match-three games either having the board constantly full of pieces (e.g. "Bejeweled") or adding pieces that are affected by gravity (e.g. "Bust-a-Move"/"Puzzle Bobble"), so having to fill the board myself by adding preset pieces/configurations that aren't affected by gravity was new and interesting. I know "having to fill the board myself by adding preset pieces" sounds kind of like "Tetris", but it's still different with the lack of gravity and that it's match-three, not match lines! Especially because of the shrinking board. Interesting game!
In the year 2018, where the match-three genre has been beaten to death over and over again, then brought back from the dead only to be beaten back to death once more, I didn't think it was possible for anybody to bring anything original to the table. And yet, you did, so congratulations. Besides this minor miracle, the sounds were... interesting, the graphics were passable, and the game was just fun enough to keep me playing. I actually got the high score! Good entry.
@sidnoea, Thanks for the kind words. That is a great score. My friend Justin beat me earlier and so I had to play and take back the top spot, but with that score you may be safe for a while. Wow!
And thanks to everyone who has played and rated my game! We finally broke 20. Yeah!
Thank you for sharing your game with me. I played it on my stream tonight at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames
I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream.

I liked this! It got a lot better when I actually dug out my 3-button mouse to play. I liked the audio, both the non-intrusive tick and the reaction effects. It seems the block I'm placing is about 103% scale to the playing field, which was a little confusing. I thought about asking for the balls to collapse after a match, but I see that the new blocks need those little spaces; they aren't continuous blocks. I thought this was going to be very simple and was pleasantly surprised.
Nice puzzle game. I liked the core mechanic although it was difficult to understand it in the beginning, it is a new and refreshing approach to match three games. I didn't like sound effects and graphics could be better.
You already played our game: The legend of the looter and the incredible backpack that never runs out of space, so we can't do anything but thank you. 」(￣▽￣」)
Saw Shaun Spalding playing this on his stream, and decided to check it out myself. Really neat and addicting! Cool that you implemented a global leaderboard, too!
