In what way does your game fit the theme?
Block force provides chaotic gameplay from you trying to avoid aliens and clear lines at the same time. Block Force making the player have to play 2 different games at the same time makes it easy for the player to lose control when trying to stay alive.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Apart from looking at examples from the API and looking at an open-source, MIT Licensed project/tutorial for assistance, all the code was done by ourselves. Some sound effects were purchased and licensed by the people who worked on this project.

Good concept! I kinda ignored the space ship part and try my best at avoid enemies and play tetris hahahaha
I have found that to be the most successful strategy as well. A few careless shots and the blocks reach to the ceiling!
Cheers for the comment RealPotatoCat! Thanks for playing!
Holy guacamole! You guys are psychos!! XD 2 games at once, talk about sensory overload!! I enjoyed it though, but now need to lay down XD Hope to see more like it, as the Fearless Four Dream Team
yes the fearless 4! We all did a fantastic job honestly thanks for playing our sensory overload game lol 😆
One of the best games I've played here
Really good graphics
The sound is really good
A really good job
Aww, thank you so much for your kind words!! Our team worked so hard on this project and I know we're all glad to hear about your enjoyment =)
Great concept! Once you figure out a trick to handling the two it becomes quite fun.
thanks for playing our game! we are glad you enjoyed the game, and found it fun
Borderline impossible to last for extended periods of time, either separate the controls or make the success in one of the game benefit you in the other (like recovering health with each line of tetris cleared).
thanks for trying out our game! Unfortunately we ran out of time to implement those, we appreciate you playing our game
Indeed, a nice idea the HP recovery! I had the idea of making enemies blow up, but the HP recovery is cooler and could fit the theme maybe of it being inside the ship.
So, one game wasn't enough of a task, so you decide to make two for the jam? Kudos :P
Great idea, great execution, definitely one of the standout games of this jam. Well done!
thank you so much! we really appreciate you playing and enjoying our game
Had so much fun playing the game! The combination of two oldschool games is great. Kudos to the whole team
we really appreciate you playing our game! we had a very creative team
Game was pretty interesting concept but it was pretty simple for the theme
Rate our game if you would like (tried our best with our school time)
thanks for trying out our game! yes we will give it a try
Interesting concept combinig two diffrent games to make chaos :O The sound effects were on point and the music is fitting :]
Now lets addres the elephant in the room the game is increadibly hard :/ Maybe incresing the give rate of easy to use blocks like 4-1 block or 2-2 block can reduce the difficulty. Or you can give your spaceship force shield when clearing a line in tetris part that would be cool i think :p
Also if you could turn blocks around when in cornes that would be great :D
Overall it was definetly a chaotic experince i would like to play again if you decide to work on it amazing work !
Thank you so much for your feedback! Increasing the rate and providing shields are such a great idea and I wish we came up with that!! Glad you enjoyed our game, despite the difficulty =)
I can't say I got very far in this game, but it was fun trying! A very creative way to mash up two games, and there was absolutely chaos.
yes! we wanted to make sure we really capture the theme on our game, and truly make a Chaos game thank you for playing our game we really appreciate it
What a fantastic game idea. I don't even have any feedback other than maybe giving the player a little more health. This is the first game I give 5 stars in all categories lol
what! omg thank you so much! my team and I are very grateful for this rating, we put in tons of effort and creative ideas in here
great idea!
thanks for playing our game!
This was so hard! But creative! And amazing visuals at this size! Music fit in just well. One suggestion would be… Add an easy mode maybe (like slowing down the tetris blocks or just not making the spacebar both shoot and drop the block) because it gets really hard not to lose, especially on the tetris side of things…
Give my game a try? https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-6/rate/1077360
yes, unfortunately we ran out of time when going to implement an easy mode. we thank you for playing our game! and yes I'll check out what you've made
Combining 2 games is a very creative idea loved it!
THANK YOU! we had a very creative team! thanks for playing our game
Bloody hell this game is hard but i honestly had no problems or complaints functionality wise it just beat me up really bad LOL. Looks great plays great a good idea and a game that hates you just for playing it (in a good way!). Really good work!!

Exactly what we were going for! thanks for your great review, and thanks for playing our game!
That is one challenging game.
Also, fun at the same time.
thats the right feel that our team was going for when developing Block Force. thanks for playing our game
It's quite hard for me, but I like the idea, Good Job man 👍
yes its a hard game, thank you for playing the game, we appreciate it
interesting but the tetris field is kind of small and I'm really missing the ability to move the piecese a little bit even after they touch the bottom
I managed to make a few lines but I'm not really good enough at tetris to be good at this
The audio and graphics are really good though
Unfortunately we ran out of time, and didn't implement that feature for the tetris game, we like to thank you for playing our game, we are glad you enjoyed the game
I like the idea. It was very difficult. I am not good at tetris.
its ok, im glad you gave our game a shot, thanks! me and my team appreciate that
Really cool idea!
thanks for playing our game! i definitely agree, was a very creative idea we came up with.
