fun game
it was difficult to tell what each block was doing to my plants while playing, and the text at the top left was small and hard to read quickly
I couldn't find any bugs
my best is an A :)

Thanks for the feedback! I also struggled on how to let the player know what is affecting their plants. I think I can improve the size of the text but I'm yet to find a better solution.
Fun twist on a familiar concept. I agree the text could be bigger but otherwise really good entry!
Hey that was cool! Feels like tetris, but with more of a goal instead of just stacking blocks. Very fun. Didn't understand the first time that the tools were supposed to be paired too, just thought they were bonuses ( i only skimmed the tutorial :p ) But got the hang of it the second round and beat it ( i think? A+ ). Overall very good, only improvement I would make is audio because it was a little repetitive and got tiresome fast, but maybe that's just me :p Good job!
@forevertrash thanks for the feedback.I had planned more stuff for the tools and the pests but I had little time to work on it. Same goes for the sound, only had time to record a 30 seconds loop (My head is going crazy because I heard it all the time while play testing).
A is pretty good! S is god.
Very fun little match four game. Reminded me of a puyo puyo more than tetris what with the lack of tetranaminos. You nailed all the basic elements of the game I never felt like there was to much going on and the rng seemed to be working well. The music was maybe a little to loud but thats what volume adjustment on client side exist for. Good work
Good game, nice concept and the art and music are great too. Took me a bit of trial and error to figure out what exactly was going on.
Could'nt go higher than rank A even after knowing I can rotate the pieces x) Very fun game, quite addictive! I like the mechanics you added according to the theme, great idea! Only step down is the music imo, a bit too dissonant to my taste :p Beside that I loved it !
Fun game, but the (likely dynamic) music was broken an out of tune for the HTML version and it was difficult to continue playing like this.
The background clouds were well done.
Thanks all for the feedback. After hearing to the theme with headphones I realized it might get a little bit annoying. Gonna keep it in mind for the next time. I also struggled on how to provide directions for the player but I'm happy to see that most people was able to figure it out.
I liked the art and the sound, but I liked the idea more. It took me a while to understand that this wasn't just a match things and win game. The How to play menu is impossible to navigate for me, it just goes blasting at full speed to the last page when I click next, I'm not sure why.
Overall I liked the game and the idea, it was hard to beat once I understood the concept
Simple but funny, the art is so cute!
I like it, reminds me a lot of Dr. Mario
I was really excited by the unique twist of adding consequences to a connect 4 game. It was such a cool idea! In practice, I did find it a bit hard to focus on both the plants and the falling blocks at the same time, but I'm sure that with more practice I would get the hang of it. It might have been easier for me if the falling speed didn't ramp up so quickly.
One thing that really stood out to me was the subtle difference of being able to go 4 across instead of just stacking blocks in a single column having such a big impact on the second layer of the game. It was a small change, but it made a big difference and added an extra layer of strategy to the game. I also enjoyed the music and found it to be quite charming, although I can see how it might become repetitive after playing for a longer period of time. The graphics in this game were all very cute and added to the overall appeal.
Overall, I had a great time playing this game and appreciate the creativity that went into its development. Thank you for creating such a fun and engaging experience!

You took the concept of a fairly simple game and gave it a twist - that's the essence of the game development.
I liked sound design, animations and art are wonderful.
The least thing I liked was the tutorial, it is in the main menu and more often player needs some in-game practice to understand what is happening. Despite that, for the 48 hours this is an excellent progress.
Overall, 5 points :)
Classic gameplay that works! Well done adding music and sound and a good amount of polish. I thought the rules were overly complex and all I can handle is trying to make ANY block happen and not die :D So it's hard to make use of the rules and mechanics. The music was a little rough. Sometimes no music and rather more polish on sound/visual effects can have a better result. Anyway good work, especially well done on all the art.
Very nice game! Cute graphics and cool music. I really like it, well done!
It turned out cool, I liked it. Only the music is loud.
I started out making blocks until i found out you just needed to connect 4. Cool game concept might want to make the curve a bit better and introduce blocks in a more easy going fasion but besides that second play I got better. Very good job!
Very cool concept, and quite tricky! Couldn't get better than a B score lol
Thanks everyone. I really appreciate that you liked the added concept over the puyo puyo/connect four mechanic. I'll put more effor on trying to explain the rules properly on next projects and also consider not adding music and instead polish other aspects of the game.
@hitchh1k3r special thanks for the detailed review. Helps a lot!
Rank B (it was actually hard in the end) ! Love the graphics ! Well done :)
Tricky but fun - hard to multi task :D
Difficult, but also good fun! I enjoyed the first time I got two combos in a row a lot haha
Nice art and I really like idea of splitting blocks.
Hey guys! Thanks for the feedback. I was expecting someone to get rank S already. I guess it is a little bit difficult.
Lots of systems going on- and they work together really well. I managed an A, though it felt like I made loads of mistakes. Going to go for the S now- so well done!
Rank B! That was a nice game, well polished. There was some trial and error going on, but once you get what everything does, it's get very fun
Cool twist on tetris. Or is it it's own game. Not sure, but I still could sink a lot of time into it. Maybe at some point I can figure out how to play with the plants in mind. Right now I just try to match 4 or more blocks. wherever they may be and whatever they might do. It is just the right amount of stressfull enough so that I have no capacity left to figure out in which colum I should place the water blocks best. Just "next to the other blocks there".
Pretty fun game! I really enjoyed the gameplay and the graphics. It's a different take on puzzle games, I like that. The gameplay is pretty solid. Congratulations.
Nice! ^^ played for a while and I manage to get around this score each time, I hope there isn't an S rank because I cant get it haha

@rickylee thanks for playing! There is up to SSS, however you need to stack a lot of blocks and do massive combos to reach it.
Not sure why but the keyboard controls did not work for me in Edge browser?
Maybe mouse input would be good and allow mobile users to play via touch screen.
Great game! Planning the combos ending up being very tricky, which is a good thing. Good work!
This turned out to be a bit more complex than I expected and it was pretty fun! Sometimes it feels like using the physics engine will be great and then it's not haha! I've been there xD But overall, it looks really cute, I love the graphics!! Well done!
