@mramericanmike My game is not done yet, just got the pages up privately. Thanks for trying to play though :)
@mramericanmike Game is up and running now :)
Interesting take on Tetris/Falling blocks. I love it :D
This is really innovative, but I think your theme really should be "your currency if life" rather than "your life is currency". I still had fun none the less!
Nice work. I got a high score of 55. The scoring was the only part I wasn't sure about (didn't know how it was scoring) but it didn't affect my enjoyment of the game. It's super cute and fun, love the color palette.
@vimlark Thanks! Score is supposed to be the total number of coins you collected. However it currently goes down and it shouldn't; noted.
Really enjoy the twist on such a classic game. Would have been great to see the speed increase or more colors introduced the further along you went.
@aplite Thanks! I included the speed increase last-minute and might have messed up the numbers. So it's not as noticeable at it should. Adding colors is a good idea; noted.
I sort of wanted a tutorial, but I guess since it was similar to tetris/a math 3 you decided it wasn't needed or timing got the best of you. It was fun, I enjoyed the music Joshua made for you. Rotating the entire board was a cool thing and buying bombs definitely helped with those situations in tetris where you feel you are stuck. An innovative take on an old classic.
Very solid entry! very clean visuals and mechanics, I think this one's really well executed, even if the game itself isn't that unique of an idea, but as a big fan of Tetris and Bejeweled I liked it nonetheless!
Fun game! I found it to be addictive and fun although there were some unclear aspects. One was sometimes blocks would fall fast with out me touching anything. Was that intentional. I was also a bit unclear on what was giving me negative points. Besides that it was a clean complete experience with charming music :)
Hey! Major Tetris fan here. I really enjoyed your game! It's already super fun in its current state and I think it has real potential if you wanted to stick with it. I'd really recommend checking out [this wiki article](http://harddrop.com/wiki/SRS) for inspiration on a more advanced/intuitive rotation system - this will increase the possibility space and allow players to play more expressively and at a higher level. Seeing left/right rotation and lock delay would also be great. Again, already a huge fan of the game and had a blast playing it! Keen to follow the game if you decide to stick with it :)
Played like that, I'd say this is a nice tetris version, very interesting. But I'd really like to see a more evolved version of it because I think it has a lot of potential ! You should keep on working on it :)
Interesting but I feel like the rotation of the board could be improved. I didn't feel the need to rotate much at times when I could buy bombs instead. I liked the level of polish you gave it
Well done lilou! I really enjoyed, you managed to make a clean game!
L'idée est bonne des graphismes un peu plus poussés auraient rendu ça encore plus chouette !
Very, very fun game, I like it!
Super fun game! At first I was like "Oh it's tetris, quite a big field for tetris" but after I realised that you have to match the colors / coins the space filled up quite fast. The only 2 really small things I noticed is that the rotation into a wall is kinda weird and I would love to see a way to move a block by holding down a button. I really enjoyed playing this!
As I enjoy Tetris quite a lot I was really looking forward for this. And I must say that you did a very good job innovating it and combining with new interesting mechanics (as well as with the theme). Really nice job done! And great audio! Thank you for this experience
Very interesting take on a tetris-like match 3 game! Here is my gameplay video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIUj1EVqaYA I hope you like it ;-) Keep making games <3
I liked the music and it was overall fun! I'm just terrible at these kinds of games.
I've just discovered this game through @spacemonkey's video. As I'm typically the guy overstressed when playing Tetris, I must say I quite enjoyed the chilly pace of this one, as well as the bombs acting as a remedy to my clumsiness. I just got sometimes a bit frustrated when my block got sticked by its side while I was trying to conduct him gently towards a good spot. It seemed I could sometimes graze an obstacle and sometimes not (depending on the colors ?). I could not determine if this was an intended feature or not…
Thanks everyone for playing! And for your kind words. I have not have the time yet to play any game, but I will play and rate all of yours before the end of the rating period. @cuppycat @snowtv @dk5000p @mateusboga @saering @adam-clayden @lemur @craftlord @daspanjo @jin9310
The game absolutely needs proper instructions or a tutorial, and the mechanics needs some tweaking. I will definitely stick with it as I love playing it so much myself :)
@thestoff The quick/gravity falling blocks is a bug; noted.
@team-kelly Thanks for the article, it is pure gold!
@lola J'ai pris les graphiques d'un pack. J'ai l'intention d'ajouter plus d'effets visuels, etc.
@spacemonkey @nayaki-anandan Thanks for playing on video!
@julien-noel The blocks attach instantly when the top or bottom of a tetromino touches a static block. I will be adding a delay as it does in the original Tetris.
#### Special thanks to @mrjoshuamclean for making this awesome music for me on such a short notice!
Someone managed to make a tetris game fit the theme, now that's creative! Really polished UI and visual design (simple but works really well for this sort of game) and the audio was a fun retro style theme that worked nicely with the gameplay. I was frustrated by the lack of gravity on the tetriminos which made the game feel very random with not enough room to fix mistakes, the ability to t-spin would have helped here. Not at all bad for something made in a weekend, though I'm not a huge fan of this type of puzzle game so take that for what you will. I hope you continue to make games and come back for future jams!

I really liked your game! the music is great, and the gameplay is superb. I really like "tetris with a twist" games so this one is rated high from me. :) thank you!
Really liked this idea, nice and simple, easy to play, but not easy to do well in.
I love any rendition of Tetris, but I didn't really understand how to score points. I couldn't seem to score more than five thought I thought I was clearing a decent amount of coins. Also I felt the controls weren't really intuitive.
Nice take on Tetris, could be really fun but I think it needs a bit of polish. I found that I could make some of the blocks disappear by pushing them over to the wall and rotating them off of the play area. Still pretty cool though.
