Hahahaha, I genuinely love this entry. Trucks and PUPPERS!! The concept of multitasking with the neural network and (basically Tetris/Captcha) is very funny. Well done

This game is a lots of fun. I like the multitasking mechanic.

Definitely one of the more out there entries I have played, works well and I like the idea of balancing the two tasks as equally as possible.

Data science has never been this fun!

Play time ended up being just right for the game - a nice little game, however, as someone who cannot tell the difference between a truck and a pupper, the game was a little hard.

The multitasking needed here is crazy! I m not really good at tetris but I found the game enjoyable and funny, great work

You talked to the data scientist in me! Thanks for the game! :)

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! Didn't expect a game that's basically a rip-off of a classic combined with an activity that we all begrudgingly do sometimes when browsing to get this positive feedback :D

@etdofresh Thanks! :-) I worked as a data scientist for two years myself, quit recently to go back into dev. This game is a tribute to my old team :D

This was genuinely harrowing :D Love it, good work.

One of the silliest (and therefore best) takes on the theme I’ve seen yet. The multitasking is a lot of fun—you sort of have to let one side or the other become an unconscious process. It starts out maybe a little too easy, but it does ramp up eventually. I think this game gave me a real understanding for machine learning. Well done.

the game is fun. I know about the Chihuahua and Muffin Problem but the truck pupper problem is new to me. :smirk: :dog: :truck:

Oh yeah, this game is exaclty what we did at university back then :smile: Love the idea and well exectuted!

It was a really fun game! I like the concept of doing two things at the same time, it works really well with the captcha thing and the tetris like! Would totally replay it ahah

Interesting seeing a combination of tetris and captcha

jordgubben 2021-05-02 10:41

I know from a verified source (i.e. I have attended a singe lecture ton the subject through meetup.com) that this is how all Machine learning actually works

bionikmonster 2021-05-02 19:18

Ahaha that's a pretty funny combination, it's fun to play both games at the same time :D. Not a common game, I appreciate that!

Congrats for the entry.

I would give 8/10 for the innovation of implementing captcha in a game, but the pupper deserves a 14/10. Heckin good job!

solah 2021-05-02 19:51

Really fun to gamify captchas validation, and that makes this good old tetris prettyu hard, well done!

levidsmith 2021-05-03 02:21

I really enjoyed this game. At first I just started clicking the puppies and trucks, then realized that I was supposed to be playing tetris at the same time.

boxedmeatrevolution 2021-05-03 03:01

Very unique idea! I thought the captcha with trucks or puppers was a pretty funny idea. The tetris game felt a bit janky, but it was fun to multitask. I got up to 98.611 accuracy, 90 data, and ??? layers (the you win screen hides the number of layers). Very innovative game!

tezza48 2021-05-08 10:33

Is there an alternative control scheme? I don't have arrow keys :)

sotsnut 2021-05-08 15:04

Puppers! :D I'm the worst at tetris, so naturally I got fired pretty quickly. But it was fun!

xlambein 2021-05-11 18:15

Thanks for the kind comments everyone! 😊 Very happy you're finding my game funny and/or enjoyable :D

@tezza48 Hey! Unfortunately, I finished pretty late and didn't have time to add different controls, I'm sorry! Thanks for checking it out tho!
