nice idea! It's fun but a little hard though, I'm stuck at the first level, will be better if it has some items or blocks to break some of existing blocks and ladders.

This work is a good idea.

Nice take on a tetris variant. Feels very polished with nice graphics and particle effects. Good job!

Hey , really nice idea, wasn't expecting that haha. Need a bit of reflexion but i was really surprise :)

majadroid 2023-05-01 15:36

@yizao This mechanic is introduced in level 3.

@jared-lomangino Thanks.

I really enjoyed this game! I didnt understand the tnt tho? the first one exploded when it had a block on top of it, but then none of the others did. Maybe I didnt read the prompt correctly :(

Really cool game. The music is really chill and the pixel art is great, really creates a nice atmosphere. Going to bookmark this so I can find it again when the jam is over and play it some more!

Awesome way to expand on the classic Tetris/Columns formula. The graphics were really well done, too, and the music was very relaxing

However, I think it still needs some polish in some aspects. I would've loved if you could shoot some magic to destroy blocks for instance, as one slight mistake could take a very long time to repair.

Also, some of the controls get me a bit confused at first, particularly the lock feature and the rotation. I think they would feel better if rotation and lock in were close to each other, maybe KL instead of Up and Space.

Still, even though I might've been slightly critical on the gameplay, I'm a big sucker for these kinds of games and I would love to see this great idea expanded upon :)

It's a nice take on the tetris genre. I would have loved if the blocks would actually split when you place them and only one side of the two is on top of another block and the other side would keep falling down. At least that is what I would have expected, probably based on other games. The music is nice and chilling and I like the pixel art. It would also help to have some way to undo or some other special move to clean up when you mess something up after a while you are playing, otherwise it really feels unforgiving :smile:

Very well crafted game! Graphics are great, the concept is original. I love it!

moebiusmeow 2023-05-01 18:03

This game is amazing. It impressed me on my first sight. The pixel art is well polished as well as the soundtrack, and it is even more impressive for a 48h duration.

I have beat all the levels. It is not that hard but indeed requires patience and strategy.

Perfect work!

majadroid 2023-05-01 19:58

@moebiusmeow Thanks a lot. I'm happy you liked it.

enver-arco 2023-05-01 22:16

Art, Sound and gameplay is all superb

artano 2023-05-02 10:45

Im fan of fantazy pixel art, so it was really pleasant experience to play your game :3 Combining tetris mechanics with a fantasy delivery theme was a great idea, very interesting concept! Great job! ^^

firellon 2023-05-03 19:14

Lovely idea. It might help to have more things that the Mage could do besides being a potion carrier, but otherwise quite nice!

patrick-abernathy 2023-05-03 19:16

I really enjoyed the music. It was almost relaxing and helped me focus on getting the tiles placed.

josep93 2023-05-03 19:18

Dude, you have a nice idea, i like it!

twobitadder 2023-05-03 19:23

This is a very cute game and I loved the concept - it made you think a few steps ahead which is a victory in my book as far as design is concerned. The music was very pleasant, as were the sounds and the art. It all came together to be a very relaxing experience. I would love to see this concept expanded upon with other block types or objectives! I think you really have something neat on your hands here.

0x01f0 2023-05-03 19:29

very impressed by the original idea and the execution, it feels very polished and it felt satisfying to finish levels. the music was really chill too. nice work!

pedrohpf 2023-05-03 19:32

This is actually great! Very different way of delivering something, loved the simple pixel art and the mechanics fused with the theme and tetris. Just great job!

saviqq 2023-05-03 19:43

Cool innovative take on Tetris. Impressive game to make in 48 hours, I applaud! But, the elephant in the room = main problem is that single mistake can ruin your whole level and there is no reset button. In my opinion this is important to add so more people can enjoy the game and not rage quit because of it

Pros - pixel art is looking very nice - easy controls

Cons - easy to soft lock yourself

tim-sims 2023-05-03 20:33

This is such a cool idea for a game! The only issue I found is you can get the wizard trapped and I didn't know how to restart.

zerfalex 2023-05-03 20:43

I have to say the artwork and the music were amazing!

carld 2023-05-03 21:10

I like the thinking on the game mechanics. New type of puzzle for me. Nice polish on the graphics and good audio.

lenan 2023-05-03 22:00

Nice game, interesting concept. Felt the dropping down while holding down could be a little faster though

alec 2023-05-04 00:57

always interesting to see fresh takes on tetris. I honestly never used the "lock in place" feature, as it caused more problems then it solved. The art and variety of pieces was nice!

majadroid 2023-05-04 17:29

@saviqq @tim-sims I should have made it more obvious, but in the pause menu, there is a rest / retry button. The problem is, that in the web-build ESC is used to quit fullscreen, so the player have to press it two times. I knew this problem and with more time I would have made a better solution.

stefan-funke 2023-05-05 15:26

Cool idea!!

But it's a bit easy to stash all the tiles that I don't want in the top corners. Maybe don't allow tiles to be placed in the air? But not sure, if it's too hard then :laughing:

Good job with the game!

tenlki 2023-05-19 22:11

It reminds me a little bit of Lemmings in a way! The music was very relaxing and planning out + building the path and timing it for the wizard's movements was fun! One of my personal favorites for this jam - the art is clean and pleasing and the music sets a relaxing puzzle-solving mood :)

majadroid 2023-05-20 07:12

@tenlki Thank you for your kind words.
