Amazing work! Both the theme and game-play were top notch

Awesome and original

Really good game! I loved the music, simple and yet so nice to listen to! Gameplay was fun too :)!

Fantastic entry! I'm not even sure if I can provide a feedbak. Add screen shake may be? Loved it!

Well made, thanks for uploading!

Excellent game, felt really well polished and "rounded out". There was good art, music, story and gameplay. All on theme! Not sure what more I could ask for from the LD entry.

As far as critiques, the only one I have is that it would hard to understand what exactly the effect was when getting a 4 match. Did the different icons mean something different, or was is just themeing?

Beautiful game with great storytelling and humor! Lines up with the theme very well too!

Gameplay didn't really stick with me, but that's just my genre preferences. I still want to revisit your game sometime later just to see all the different endings.

I was recording my playthrough. Here's a link in case you'd like to see it: https://youtu.be/6O1eFU0xLWM Your game starts at 0:44

Oh, how I wish I could play this! Will there be a web build in the future? :)

Awesome design and graphics. Nice story, and fast-paced fun (wait, that was EASY mode? Jeez). Especially great to see a compo game with this much detail added. Great work!

I finally got around to playing this, and I'm glad I did. Great work, Wren!

Very cool! I saw your post about this during the compo weekend and made a note to come back and check this out, and I wasn't disappointed.

I struggled in places to wrap my head around the mechanics on the later levels, so felt like I was just playing by gut rather than strategically.

All in all, a really enjoyable and polished game. Thanks!

Hahahaha I loved the humour there very well done and in COMPO that's AMAZING!

Really enjoyed this. Tbh i couldn't get past the 2nd level on easy mode so Hard Mode must be crazy. Music really fitted with the drop of the blocks. Great game thanks.

wren-erickson 2022-04-15 15:53

@oramun thanks for noticing the music! I timed the BPM of the song to match the blocks!

Nice game, I like the pacing of the story, really fitting for an LD experience! I'm not great at the gameplay but was able to lose in level 4 (and just barely got past 3, see below :D). Wish I could have used/remapped to arrow keys as WASD is a bit difficult for me personally. Looks great and well polished as well!

Very nice game! I like the overall look and the feel of the gameplay. Having played a lot of Tetris, my instincts kept on telling me to make lines across which is NOT how you clear blocks in this game haha. I think a mechanic to instant drop the block would be nice to have. Overall, very nice job!

paul-nadan 2022-04-17 21:22

This was a cool take on the theme! The story was really well-developed and I really liked how the relationship with death went from adversaries to old friends. The graphics look great, and the music fits the story pretty well. The gameplay was a neat take on Tetris, although the left-over boxes were pretty hard to make use of. Great work!

zimny11 2022-04-17 21:28

Amazing work, especially for a Compo entry! Really cool game mechanics and art style. Music too. Great job!

Nice game! Graphics and story were well done. Audio was a bit loud for me and it got a little repetitive after a while.

I didn't quite grasp what I was supposed to be doing the second round, with the blocks turning into different shapes after clearing / matching.
