This is a really neat game! The first few patterns were really easy, but then it got progressively difficult as it went on. Maybe I'll come back to it when I'm less burnt out from jamming 😅

A very cool concept I haven't really seen before! Well done!

Such good vibes and nostalgic atmosphere. Fun puzzle mechanic, it would be nice to try and master it some day

A fun game, I had fun trying to figure out how to fit the most tiles in

That aside, I love this game and it fits the theme well in which limited space is not from randomness but instead from player's inputs.

So simple but so clever! I like it!

At first glance, it may seem simple, but once I start placing a few bricks, I realize how much creativity this game offers. I have to say, it's a fantastic game with plenty of innovative ideas.

Really cool puzzle game, which makes you think about efficient placement and space usage. The visuals are appropriate, but by no means bad. Liked it quite a lot.

14600 only :)

First I was just clicking to get my patterns, but once the field is nearly full you start thinking. You might want to add an automatic end check, with no bombs and no empty slots and no matching patterns there's clearly game over.

Neat game!

nice entry!

this makes for an interesting puzzle! I think abilities like flipping the 3x3 square or rotating it could also be cool, in addition to the bombs :smile:. Well done!

This was a nice puzzle game, congrats on submission!

I think this is the first pico-8 game i played in this jam. runs really smoothly. Liked it. The pattern matching itself is a challenging one. I only managed to score 840 so far. Good take on the theme.

This is a new kind of puzzle, very interesting idea. I loved it! I'm kinda curious how it would play if you could rotate the patterns/board. mini_mason.PNG It felt weird in the end to have nothing to do except for filling the last spaces with garbage xd The mid-game is the most satisfying. I also liked the bobbing of patterns if they matched, nice design choice.

Nice game, great scope.

Nice little puzzle game. Excellent work!

It's really original and good use of theme, with a background music and maybe more possibilities like same pattern but rotated 90 or 180 degrees can be really cool.

Of course it's a jam game but with a bit of care can be a fun game to play out of the jam, for example adding a speed mode forced to put your piece in less than X seconds.

Well done! Take a candy! :candy:
