Invertetris

Nice variation on classic tetris as a puzzler, I quite liked it. Could not get past level 5 though, seems almost impossible. One of the issues I see with this concept is that to reach certain goals you basically need to have a certain piece, so you just throw away pieces until you get the right one. Also a few bugs I noticed: - On the first level I couldn't release the square piece for some reason, nothing would happen, forcing me to restart. - If you build high enough the pieces collide with the new piece, and you won't get a new piece after releasing that one. - At the start of a level sometimes no piece would show up.

Overall the graphics and audio were sleek and simple, but matched this kind of game well. Solid work overall! :)

Hi @zapdos2!

Thanks so much for your consideration and time to respond. I did indeed find after submission that the last level is quite impossible :') I also got the same bug on trying to drop the piece but wouldn't release. Hopefully able to fix it soon.

As for the core mechanic, I have to agree it's really dependent on getting the right puzzle pieces, since the spawned shapes are randomized. In the future I'm thinking to change this mechanic to have highly specific sets and orders of shapes per level, and maybe giving the shapes different properties such as slippery, gluey, magnetic, bouncy etc.

Thanks again so much for taking the time to play and respond! Peace and love
