How does your game match the theme?
It's a puzzle game where you have limited space (12 by 12 grid), so you must clear lines with blocks made of ALIENS to create more space. Yeah, space is pretty cool! :D

That was fun! I like how precarious it is; it's easy to get stuck, but there's usually a way to clear lines. The art is cute!

The in-game cursor takes a long time to use. In my mind, the controls could be improved. Maybe something like... When a block isn't being moved, there's a cursor that shifts between the three blocks using Left and Right. After a block is selected, it's moved to the center, where you can then move and place it. Then, 'Z' can both select and place a block, and 'X' can unselect a block if it's not desired.

The audio is imbalanced; the line-clear sound is much louder than the other sounds.

All-in-all, good work!

Very fun game. I can see myself 20 years ago playing this game on my game boy

Developer

Awesome! Thanks for playing :D

Very cool! Some music would be nice and could add a lot to the overall feel, but the gameplay is very nice! Good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing! :)

cute concept! once i got the hang of placing blocks it was quite satisfying 

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed!

The graphics and sound design are amazing, only thing I can say is that it got boring after a while before I lost, though kept my brain interested for good couple minute.

Submitted

In my opinion, a single button to select and drop blocks should have been used because I always press the wrong one :).

Submitted

There are too much shapes, no space in my head to process the best arrangement! ;)

An original take on the theme, however it is still lacks a lot of polish

Developer

Yeah I do think that as well. I was a bit too ambitious for the time I had since I didn't plan on being so busy so I probably should've cut the game down a bit or should have chosen something else. Thanks for playing! :)

Submitted

Very nice, but a little more creativity would have been nice.

:D

Good and nice looking game. I would love there to be more audio/Music

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Gotta start making music earlier in development next time haha

Submitted

Love the art! Very cute game and satisfies my tetris itch.

Developer

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed :3

Great game! I really like the general look & block variety. This is a chill puzzle game with an interesting spin on the Tetris formula that I've never seen before. It could use some BG music & a reset button when you run out of space.

Developer

Reset button is R. Didn't really include that in many places sorry XD Thanks for playing!

I have one objection to graphics. It's not pixel perfect, the particles show with smaller pixels than game - it breaks the immersion of gameboy game - on real gameboy screen it would't be possible. Performance is not really well, (only full screen) on my Chrome / Windows 10 / 16GB ram it works slowly. But i like the art style! Good job!

Developer

Noted, probably should've thought about that before I added the particles haha. Thanks for the feedback though! Also sorry about the performance I didn't have that happening on anything really so I'm not sure how I could fix that other than some optimizations I suppose. 

Developer

Alright yep. Didn't even notice how poorly it runs on HTML. Likely error by me but I also did not expect anyone to play without fullscreen since it's barely possible to see anything at such a small size haha. Thanks for the feedback again! :)

Submitted

Np. when i uploaded html version of my game, feeling happy that everything went smooth, main character was crazy fast with far bigger hitbox than it should. And i could't do anything because engine i used is trash not supporting very well this platform.

Submitted

Lovely game, really like the art style and pallette you used as it really fit the atmosphere, as another guy mentioned it would've really benefitted with bg music but it doesn't really take away from the experience anyways as I played it for quite some time as well. Overall I love the game and it is really well done!

Developer

Thanks so much glad you enjoyed!:)

Submitted

Epic game. Played it for a good 20 minutes!

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Sadly I was busy most the week so I didn't manage to get music done which is a shame. Maybe after the jam I'll return to this game! Also will play your game as well! :)

I forgot to send this image .

this is nice 

Developer(+1)

Yeah sadly didn't make a lose script in time so it is just hitting "R" to reset the game. It does save your score to the main menu after playing so you can see it before the next round though :)
