I really liked this game !, the more that there is TETRIS !!!!!!))))))

wow that was wild! what a great concept and stunning artwork too. Amazing moment when it "clicked" what was going on. The gameplay itself felt like a little too much happening at once but it was really fun to see the different gameplay systems interacting and overlapping. loved this!

this is an awesome combination. However, I couldn't understand if I was supposed to try to go down and to the left? or to stay on the main island. Everything I've tried went to game over. The concept is awesome though

Interestring game, art is beautiful, music is also really good. Controlls are kinda hard. I'd prefer WASD,E,Q,R nor J,K,L

Gorgeous entry! Controls are a bit finnicky, but otherwise great concept and execution.

Wow good job at pulling this through guys. I like it very much!

Interesting take on tetris! I like the juxtaposition of an rpg with tetris. Looks beautiful as well and audio is great! congratulations!

The game looks and sounds awesome, the idea is really good and closely follows the theme of the jam. I'm still trying to understand how to prevent the crystal from going bust. Well done!

I really did like the spin on tetris, liked the artstyle and the animations. I found it hard to place the tertis-tiles though. Would have loved to use the actual arrow keys to do that. At some point is was just button smashing to find the right key :D Overall a great game!

wow! I really liked this game, only two people did this? O.O The art work is incredible, the character design, the color palette, really very well done !! xD

I honestly can't believe this is made in 3 days. Very nice game and fantastic pixel art.

Amazing art and the gameplay was very innovative too. Only thing I disliked ware the tetris controls, very unintuitive.

xpoho 2021-10-10 17:10

Крутая задумка с тетрисом. Молодец!

derlan-almeida 2021-10-10 20:11

Amazing art. I love everything about sprites, colours and gameplay is fun

polkoii 2021-10-11 05:30

YO I saw this game and thought I recognized the art style! I played your game Dive into the abyss last jam! Quality as always!

I looked at this game and knew I would love playing it but damn! Seeing the mechanics, art, and sound made me feel like I'd buy this game if it had more polish!

A very interesting island Tetris mechanic! I had fun playing and seeing all the different things that would pop up on each continent. So much so that the music ended. Unfortunate it did not loop! Took a bit to get used to the controls but I enjoyed it once I got it! Never had too much of an urgency to use any items but they were very neat concepts! Great job on the downward effect. Was well worth the focus as it added so much atmosphere to the game!

Very good work!!!

Thanks for the support, I think if I had more time I would make the game more interesting.@polkoii @derlan-almeida @xpoho @emaigualmc2-art @whenyoucantfindafriend @bobi505 @joel-davis

The game is a 20*10 size Tetris game. The border is too ugly so I delete it. If the tetris more than 20 blocks high crystal will explode, just like the general tetris. If the last four rows of the island are eliminated, then the altar is destroyed and the crystal will explode. So while making sure the tetris is not too high, you also have to protect the island from being eliminated @glen-chang @nahuelito

xiyou 2021-10-11 08:04

In the original design, you needed to open the altar control panel and then use wasd to control the tetris. uiop was the test button I used for testing. However, I found that the game would be more interesting if player could control both movement and tetris in the same time. So I just kept the uiop button. I will try to design a better control method later. @chuchugeralt @lauchsuppe @deltamain

Most of the time you just wait for the game to play itself. But the art is nice, and the music is catchy. A simplier approach to making this game (with some tetris-planes) would be better, I think.

webox 2021-10-11 14:50

Omg this is the best game I've played so far, incredible mechanic!! Even tho it's a bit hard to control, I's thinking that it may benefit from a "switch mode" kind of mechanic, where you switch to tetris mode and character modeso you can focus on one thing at a time. Amazingly original, great job!! Art and audio are gorgeous by the way

youk 2021-10-11 15:11

Everything looks and sounds pretty good. The idea of using Tetris as the ground is quite impressive, but I'm not sure what the final goal of the game is. I feel that the part of action RPG game and Tetris are not well combined. Or maybe I just didn't understand the mechanism? Anyway a very solid entry and I love it!

cjce 2021-10-12 04:23

Absolutely stunning visuals! Only critique would be that I would speed up the game a bit since it feels a bit clunky. Other than that: Awesome entry!

yopox 2021-10-17 10:56

The pixel art is top notch! The floating effect of the ground is also perfect :sparkles:

It is maybe a bit hard to understand where is the limit when adding blocks and I am not sure how to avoid game over.

I like the concept and it feels like it can be expanded greatly if you continue working on the game :) For instance maybe blocks we add to the island can contain positive things and not only monsters :moneybag:

Very impressive art and fitting audio...feels very polished and coherent...the only thing thats not working for me are the controls but i think this could be solved easily on a controller for example. Overall this has been the best entry i tried so far and i think this has massive potential...Great Job!

pandore 2021-10-17 11:55

What a blast :o this doesn't feel or look like a jam game, it's so polished <3 Impressive work ! I got stuck in the wall of the house on one of my run cause i was standing on a disconnected part of the island after the destruction of a line and it threw my in the wall but apart for that occurence, I didn't encounter any bug :)

Again, really nice job !

aarre-entertainment 2021-10-17 18:00

Loved the art and polish! Music was also very nice. Great implementation of tetris style mechanics!

justnat77 2021-10-17 20:01

Great concept and implementation! I really liked the visual and audio accompaniment of the game. The controls are a bit unusual, have to get used to watch after my char and new parts of the islands in the same time, and I didn't understand a bit what the goal of the game is. Idea of combine tetris and rpg is very cool and after polishing game design the game would be stunning!

krjemelik 2021-10-17 20:04

The game looked really pretty! + Art, visual effects, sound effects are great + Noticed that your text in the UI is a little blurry. I know there is a bug with text in Unity. But you can try using textmeshpro instead of classic text, the blur effect should disappear

Anyway, very well done!

handserge 2021-10-18 12:07

Artstyle, sound design, animations, gameplay - loved everything!
