Had a great time playing this! The art style is so fun, and the screen shake when you try to redeem invalid coupons is such a fun bit you incorporated. The keybinds feel pretty natural, and the audio set a nice ambience. The concept of patches is really unique and adds a great dimension to the game, and the "move up one" and "move down one" patches are a really creative idea.

This game reminded me of how I'd move the pieces in chess in my head all the time when I was a kid. It makes sense in a way internally to me that tetris makes sense. I think that this is a great puzzle game and could be easily expanded with different pieces or movesets into a fun puzzle game or thoughtful exercise in chess practice.

thanks a lot for playing the game! totally relatable in moving chess pieces inside the mind before making the move!

Super charming visual style, and I really adore all the little UI touches. I think that sort of thing is integral to a game like this and you nailed it!

A really awesome game, I really enjoy the chess inspiration of the puzzles! I was a little lost where the goal tile was at first though, but that is mostly due to color blindness lol. Wonderful creation overall! :D

A very solid entry, I'm glad to play this game after seeing it on Bluesky ;)

The concept is really innovative. It's quite original to have a story within a more cerebral game like this one, good job on this as well :)
