A clever spin on the tetris formula. The game is well polished and the graphics are top notch. A really solid entry for this Jam.

Great puzzle game! Once you start planning your moves to get all the bonus, it gets very interesting and when all the read blocks appears, tension in rising and it gets difficult! Great entry

niarkou 2019-10-08 07:24

I had fun! I don't know how you all managed to get more than 500 points though... Also, I liked the graphics as always with your games :)

alixmi 2019-10-08 12:02

Really nice little game with a solid mecanic,cute graphism, and the whole created on a self made fantasy console you guys are awesome :)

whooshy 2019-10-08 20:34

That's pretty clever! Not sure how someone managed to garner 1122 points.

linheha 2019-10-08 20:53

@whooshy, haha yeah we don't know either, a lot of practice I guess, and a bit of madness :D

diffty 2019-10-08 21:00

I love this mechanic! It's just like an infinite generative puzzle. The pieces shape is cleverly chose too! I did 437 for my first game :)

shubart 2019-10-08 21:36

Really surprinsing idea.

herman-chau 2019-10-08 21:46

This was really fun, the difficulty increase felt really good and it became pretty tricky towards the end to figure out a sequence of blocks that could go through the narrow corridors! I'd be interested in a write up of how the procedural generation worked.

Ended up getting a score of 611 on my second playthrough. 1122 is a lot :O

Super nice, it works really well, the mechanics are interesting and easily understandable. Great! The music is a little laggy/choppy on my computer. I like that there are different tracks when you reaplay the gaame.

nachtwitch 2019-10-09 11:59

Such a unique and novel concept! Fun as the art is amazing, audio is entertaining, and all wrapped up in a neat bow of it being made in 72 hours!

kerdelos 2019-10-09 12:14

Excellent, this is a really clever game ! It's also really addictive. The music and the graphics are nice, bonus point for the special sound tracks bringing back memories. At first I struggle to understand what the bonus gave me. Some feedback when picking up one would definitely help. My Highscore is 715. Great Game !

eymrich 2019-10-09 19:11

Good job, liked it! :-) Well done!

scarletmayhem 2019-10-09 19:14

Very nice game! Loved the retro mood! Took me some time to understand how the bonus worked. Maybe you could say something about it in the initial screen or give some feedback when you pick them up :)

xedur 2019-10-09 20:16

Simply put, this is a cool little mini game! Nice work!

toxiccomputer 2019-10-09 21:32

Loved the tetris inspired music and concept. You had a great idea and a great execution of it. Great job. Loved it through and through.

2019-10-10 08:02

Pretty graphics and a funny concept!

maxymax 2019-10-10 21:22

Love your take on a familiar concept! REALLY was hoping when you lose the camera would pan down and show your whole structure! Fun submission!

konomizure 2019-10-11 02:24

Really addictive, i couldn't stop playing, but i died out of nowhere when i still had 36 parts left. :/

linheha 2019-10-11 12:16

@maxymax This is a GREAT idea, we may keep it for a future update :) Thanks!

@konomizure oh no! sometimes you can loose because you can't place your blocks anywhere, but in your case it could be a bug (I hope it's not), and we're sorry about it :/ But we're glad that you enjoyed playing!

pablotitan 2019-10-11 18:41

What a great idea! A smart twist of tetris, with pleasant graphics and an addictive gameplay :D would be really great for mobile!

dk5000p 2019-10-12 03:02

I had a lot of fun playing this once I figured out that I was supposed to pickup blocks.

bilalch213 2019-10-12 11:04

This is so addictive! I kept playing it until there was this big red block that is not allowing me to build anymore. The pixel art and the mood is so well crafted! A nice and clever twist on tetris.

sp3sheep 2019-10-12 11:09

This game is really cool! I had a ton of fun playing it! Managed to get 509 points, not sure how good that is. It's really well made! Good job

msamyel 2019-10-12 12:56

The gameplay involves a great deal of planning, so it was very fun! I also liked the graphics and music!

le-dav 2019-10-12 12:58

A classic readapted, ingenious =D

cyrolis 2019-10-12 13:14

Nice gameplay, maybe you must add more difficulties to makes party last earlier !

netmute 2019-10-12 13:39

I would love to play your entry, but it crashes right on launch :cry:

lucien-catonnet 2019-10-12 14:07

@netmute Sorry you're experiencing this issue! It seems AudioContext is not defined for Safari and older Chrome versions. I've sent a fix for that and it should be available on the live version now. You may have to refresh the cache when starting the live version if you get the same issue. Please tell us if you experience further issues. Thanks for playing the game!

netmute 2019-10-12 14:14

@lucien-catonnet I'm still seeing the same error. In Safari autoplay only works after explicit user interaction.

coatline 2019-10-12 15:29

Reminds me of Tetris! Cool idea and entry!

lucien-catonnet 2019-10-12 16:34

@netmute Sorry for the delay, I've been testing with a friend with a Mac because I'm Mac-less, and it should at least work now, but maybe without the sound, that may require more investigation.

pedro-rosa 2019-10-12 16:44

This is a simple and charming game. I enjoy to play it. The pixel art is simple but very consistent. The game is innovative and fun for me.

netmute 2019-10-12 17:11

@lucien-catonnet Thank you for taking the time to fix it :hugging:

It's working now, albeit without sound.

That's super fun! Feels like reverse Tetris :joy:

Here is my final score. I maneuvered myself into a dead end there :sweat_smile:

ulcius 2019-10-12 18:39

Ohhh, very cool entry, looks and feel like a finished product. Kind of addicting and nice to replay over and over

tom-frikker 2019-10-13 04:09

A bit hard to figure out in the beginning, but once I got the controls and idea down, it really made me think! Great job!

quadape 2019-10-14 04:27

That's just a complete and solid game, very cool!

drevilbrain 2019-10-14 04:44

The piece generation felt like it was from a bag like Tetris.

jaumemontagut 2019-10-14 18:15

Nice game! It became really fun once I got the hang of it. My best score was 824 points! One small thing that confused me at the begging is that I got the "game over" message without touching any of the red zones, then I realized that the way to lose in this game is to not have any pieces left. I would suggest putting a "you ran out of pieces" message below the "game over" or making the pieces number flash when it gets to 0, so that you know why you've lost.

linheha 2019-10-14 19:12

@jaumemontagut Thanks! :) and you're 2nd on the scoreboard, well done! Yes you're right about the game over message! Also I changed the description of the game because "avoid red zones" was a bit confusing since red zones are just here to block your way and not "killing" you. Thanks for your feedback! :)

daria-toni 2019-10-15 10:24

I played submission version and my first score was 325 and then 500 :) I didn't quite understand why the game ended at 500, although I still had the details. This game is simple as Tetris and it's great :) Very addictive! Nice design and it sounds like old games (Sega nostalgia here!). Good job!

dragonzbw 2019-10-17 16:14

Really fun and interesting! Visually great too! The music could have used a little work, it felt kind of repetitive.

neowhoru 2019-10-23 15:30

Really nice puzzle game. The music is really cool :)
