• Adherence to Theme and Creativity: 3 Let me start with that I really like the idea of kinda mashing together Tetris and Domino. Props up for that. What brings the score down for me is that I don't feel the adherence to the theme, other than calling it for Robuilder for some reason. Gameplay Innovation and Enjoyment: 4 Said in the beginning, gonna say it again, the gameplay is really nice, feels good to piece things together and the appearing boxes are a nice touch. What bring this a tad bit down is the vague-ness of the point system, I just don't get why sometimes I get 12 points, sometimes 38. Technical Execution and Presentation: 5 Haven't found any issues with the game, and the presentation brings in the classic Marina style of cleaned up and crisp looks.
• I love the minimalist aesthetic of your games and this one fits right in. I wished to see more transparency of the points as that was difficult to understand and know what to improve upon on each run.
• A really sleek tetris-y puzzle , I wasn't fully sure what the green shapes did- but matching the arrows was a really fun puzzle . Felt really good to play :) I couldn't seem to get the deck builder to work ? Would be fun to have some more tools to play with- it such a great base to what'll turn into such a fascinating puzzle game I'm sure . The polish is top notch ( dang those diagonal scene transitions are so cool ) The scene transitions and the sound design is also great ! Lovely job <3
• Cute game. I don't think I understand what the objective is. But the chunky blocks look extremely satisfying.
• I definitely enjoy anything Tetris or DR Mario inspired, and this feels like something in the same spirit. I would definitely enjoy seeing this fleshed out, however it does need something modified to make it work better. I like the idea of linking of nodes of the blocks for scoring, but could have it perform a functional purpose like water pipe puzzle games, maybe sharing something between them, or some acting as power blocks to power their neighbors. Not certain, but there is a lot of potential to play with here and experiment with. Thematically, adding more mechanics like that would definitely tie it closer to the mechanical or robot feel. It's otherwise fairly straightforward and has a simple flow, and lovely UI and state transition system. Definitely interested in seeing this finished.
