A super good proposal in the genre, which could have competed with Tetris ^^ really nice concept and great execution, the art and music are perfect with the game!

We've updated Linka.
It's not the Android version, but it now has touchscreen support.

You can also play on itch.io, but you can find PWA support here.

When you add it on your homescreen, it should work like an app.
I'm not sure how it works on Android, so I'd appreciate it if you could play it and give me your feedback.

Thanks!

Really cool concept! Were you inspired by anything in particular?

Art and music are really nice too :)

I love the Game Boy's fallen puzzle games.
Dr. MARIO especially!

At first we were trying to make a roguelike puzzle game, but that didn't work out.
But then we got the idea for a "directional block".
We took that idea and  paper prototyped it, and this game was born.

Thanks!

Nice concept, I liked play tetris and I see a bit in this game :)

It’s very original mechanic.

Good Job!

Very chill game. A great combonation of  water filled pipes with a block breaking element. I very much enjoyed each time I got a big combo and a bunch of blocks all blew up.

Great work! I could see myself spending hours laying in bed playing this while the room was lit up by only the screen of the game :)

Really enjoyed this one.

A very unquie puzzle game but has the same feels of gameplay and style compared to Tetris on the Gameboy.
