In what way does your game fit the theme?
The barge is STRONGER the better you fit the pieces TOGETHER!
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all code and made all pixel art (except the font). Audio was sourced from copyright-free materials.

A really interesting take on Tetris/falling block puzzles! I found the music and atmosphere to be really soothing, and the controls to work really well. If I have one quibble, it feels like there aren't really any stakes to this game since you can easily remove blocks from your barge and have them "fall" into place again and no penalty for blocks sticking outside of the area. Then again I suppose that means you have a really good foundation to build more difficulties/modes on later! Great job, hope to see this game's full release someday :D
Thank you for your feedback!
It is possible to lose if your barge goes off the right part of the screen, but yeah, it's rare. I had more ideas to make it harder, but decided I'd rather embrace the casual vibes and polish what I had instead of add new mechanics late in the jam.
tbh I think that was the right move, what you currently have has a very unified and deliberate feel rather than difficulty/new mechanics just for the sake of it. Seriously though great job :D
I found this game oddly calming.
But really entertaining concept reminded me a lot of Tetris but instead of the blocks disappearing you were trying to match a shape which was really cool! Really well done!
That's the vibe I was going for, so that's nice to hear! Thank you!
The game was very entretaining ^^, I didn't realize how long I had been playing until I checked the time. I feel like the higher levels are not really very different from the first ones in terms of difficult, so maybe a new mechanic or a bit more of speed would've been nice. Great game tho!
Thank you!
Yeah, I intended the later levels to spawn blocks very quickly, but there was a bug that caused the blocks to snap into each other when spawning next to each other, and I didn't have time to fix it. So, that's as fast I as I could get them to go, haha.
I like how this game had a clear direction and knew what it was. The music, art and gameplay all fit together perfectly to create a relaxing peaceful atmosphere
That means a lot, thank you!
Very nice game! The rotation was bugged for me, which made it hard to play. It was fun anyway!
Thanks for the feedback. That is strange, sorry to hear that. What OS version were you playing, and were you using mouse or trackpad?
I'm on windows 10, chrome, using a mouse. I could select and drag the shape, but once I used the scroll wheel the shape would switch back and forth super fast until the shape was released.
Huh. That's the same setup as me. No idea. Wouldn't be a game jam submission if no one had problems I guess... 🤷
