This game is amazing, its a real gem. Even got it to work on my Linix retro device.
There are only 2 problems that keep it from being perfect for playing on it:
1. Game over screen cannot be controlled with keys, only mouse! Please add them!
2. If you set in Godot settings to use Aspect as "keep_height" it would allow devices with 4:3 screen to zoom in to the height and cut left/right sides of screen to fill whole screen while not hurting 16:9 screens.
Thank You for making this addicting game. Good luck with it!

Hey there! So glad you're enjoying the game! I've just published an update that should address both of the issues you were having!

What a great idea, sort of a mix between a puzzle game and tetris, really nice! I invite you to try our game, I would love to hear your feedback :D

Solid puzzle game! I like how quick it is to pickup, the goal is cleat and the art is clean. Very nicely done!

Wow this is a super creative twist on tetris that's perfectly on theme! I could see myself playing this one for hours lol.

Really fun game and original concept! It's fun to test my luck and making it fill up the whole screen trying to get the most massive combo haha. good job :)

I really really like this game. It's super well designed, smooth gameplay, and it has a very engaging gameplay loop. The graphics are very cute and fit the tetris-y vibe perfectly. The music is charming and fits the game well. An overall very good puzzle game.

Pretty cool puzzle game! I enjoy games like Tetris and Lumines and this is a pretty great concept that scratch the same itch as those two games. I love the concept! My only complaint would be that the gameplay doesn't escalate, at least in the stages that I got. I've managed to score 46100 points and reach level 15 and the game pace was relatively static, I'd love to see it evolve. Please keep working on this after the jam, it has so much potential to stand among the greatest of arcade puzzles!

Glad you enjoyed it! Will be tweaking difficulty going forward for sure. I tend to aim easy for jams just to kinda help ensure people stick with stuff long enough to pick up on the mechs haha Be on the look out for updates though! Definitely planning to go further with this project :)

Great game! A little confusing when jumping into it for the first time, but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty addicting to play. Also agree that the pace could be a little faster in the beginning levels.

Love this game. I think you could spend some time polishing it and making it an app! Would love playing this on the bus. I think the pace could pickup more rapidly but that is just a preference. Thank you so much for the game!

Nice idea and great execution. Clearing tiles is very satisfying but I didn't immediately understand how to do chains, perhaps because unlike tetris they're not achieved by clearing rows but an arbitrary number of tiles.

This is My JAM.  I love this stuff.  I spend a lot of time going on NSO SNES player and playing Puyo puyo tsu, and the other SNES & Genesis puzzle games.  Or heck even pokemon puzzle league on N64.  I eat those games up so this was quite fun!!

Developer(+1)

Yeeeessss always nice to see other people who appreciate older arcade puzzlers! Def considering going further with this project and adding stuff like multiplayer. Really wanna achieve the same drug like dopamine hit ya get from doing a huge attack in Panel De Pon / Puyo haha

I could say I liked it, but that would be a lie—I actually loved playing this game! Honestly, I played it several times, reaching level 16 and then level 18. I would love to see a scoreboard or something similar. Each run made me want to play more and more. Congratulations on the excellent work! I loved the game mechanics and would be thrilled to see a more complete version!

Developer

So glad you enjoyed it! A proper leaderboard is definitely on the docket for some post jam dev. Super considering going all the way with this project so def be on the look out for updates!

Good mechanics and really nicely polished, feels like a real game. Only lacking some progression when you play further. I got to level 15 and it didn't seem to be getting any harder so called it quits there.

This is a fun game! It definitely hooked me in :)

Really fun puzzle game, although I did struggle a bit to understand it, but man was it satisfying once I did. Also sfx went crazy especially when you get big chain

Submitted(+1)

love puzzle games like this! at first I was super confused what to do, but when it clicked it felt satisfying to make all these crazy links. would love to potentially see other types of blocks added in the game maybe. but this game is as solid as can be!
