Loved the audio and gameplay, don't know how its relevant to the theme though :thinking:

I am still not sure if it goes well with the theme but the game is enoyable, it is fluid and sounds are nice tho it is hard to play with such a "low droping piece line".

@duboisaxel @radgegames in theory you are starting a colony and to do that you start with nothing. A piece at time you place down buildings (the white profile). We kind of failed to convey that it seem! :)

nice beat, but gamplay probably so slow :(. Hope you improve this, could be unique project!

Nice take on tetris, the theme is pretty loose, but still cool with pleasing presentation.

The idea of ​​Tetris is both a plus and a minus of this game. An interesting interpretation of the idea of ​​an old game makes you play again and again! But visualization is not new, it’s sad (

@lionserge Yeah we know!! We were 2 programmers that work from monday to friday and wanted to do the jam laid back and relaxed(no sleep lost!:P we even took long breaks!). Sadly art is not really our things :( Will try better next time!! @whatnamegames thank you man! :) @optus23 Thanks! I tryed my best in making the game feel a bit faster in how you use the wasd commmands but we ran out of time because of bugs! :D

@eymrich hahaha, we uploaded the release 17 seconds before the limit time bcs a bug :). We had to cut the last two levels, but now is already fixed in the post Jam!!!!!

Nice take on an old classic! I enjoyed it!

Interesting puzzle, but the controls feels a bit wierd ("down" drops the whole way down and doesn't allow me to shift the piece at the end of the drop. I'm still not 100% sure what to do with the pieces. Sorry, but I didn't stay long enough to finish the first level. I think a much smaller first level and then progressively increasing the size and complexity would have helped me stay longer.

Nice concept! I think it's a little too slow but I've played tetris too much.

Great twist on the original concept

Classic in a new form, at the same time you need to think about your actions. In your game remember the times of Tetris. Good job.
