How does your game represent Mode?
Blocks for Babies contains 2 playstyles in one, the titular Baby Mode and the hidden surprise mode that's revealed soon after starting. These are not only distinct modes in gameplay, but avenues for the player to channel completely different attitudes. It's time to go Baby Mode.

Was defiantly not expecting that twist lol. Unique game and I really like the theme and artstyle. Great work!
Haha super cool game, I think I this is the game I've spent the most time on this jam. Super cool I love being able to go into 3d mode anytime to clear blocks and things that are in the way. Only criticism is that the boss kinda feels the same/ it doesn't seem to scale with the game so I could easily clear him so there could technically be no end since he doesn't scale. I would love to see new bosses or the scaling boss. Other than that Tetris feels good and faithful, the combat section whereas a bit easy feels well integrated. Really liked the game! Well done!
What a cute little irony-based game. It was fun to play and showed a ton of promise. The balance of difficulty over time leaves something to be desired, but the game runs pretty great.
This game was a lot of fun! It caught me by surprise many times and made me giggle quite a few of them! Even when I said I was done, I ended up playing a couple more rounds lol. It catches you by surprise how fun it is. Good Job!
I was not expecting to see doom and tetris mixed together but here we are…
I got say it works way better than I would have imagined.
when you miss the t spin and say "nah fam block gon catch these hands today"
itch doesnt have spoiler tags so read the rest at your own peril

Great concept, love the interconnection between block puzzle and shooter. Being able to use spare ammo to fix block layouts after wrecking havoc on corrupted blocks is honestly genius. Corrupting blocks also change stacking dynamics since you can reliably have some areas always filled until you pew pew them away, at the peril of having too many corrupted blocks stack up and mess up your stacking. There's a ton you can think about at any given moment. Super fun.
A few notes of feedback I'd give: giving an ammo a cap would probably help a lot. Near the 2.5x speed phases I'm realizing I have 150+ bullets stocked up even after the block boss and that I can stack until I get around 200+ bullets, use 30 on the boss, and hard drop spam after I get 200+ again to retrigger the boss. The game's definitely the most fun when you are forced to use ammo to help with your puzzle clearing, so discouraging players from reaching a game over state on the block puzzle would be best.

but yeah this one's a whole lotta fun. good job 👍
Thank you so much for your response! Absolutely a great point on the cap, so happy to hear you enjoyed! :)
tetris with guns finally exists. Though after playing for a while, I realized the boss couldn’t kill. A bit disappointed but looks great
Yeah, we unfortunately couldn't get the game over state working due to a last minute bug, very sorry about that. Happy to hear you liked it otherwise, thanks for playing!
LOOOOOOOOL god that twist had me dying! great job guys
SO happy to hear that lmao, crafting that was my favorite part of development. Thank you so much!
