A lovely puzzle! It felt like the enhanced Tetris with all this new kinds of figures, but with no time pressure. Very relaxing to play :) Nice job!

BackpacklessVery clever tangram variant using only one shape! I like how the first levels introduce the mechanics in a clear and understandable way and the difficulty ramps on from there in a very defined way (starting from regular shapes tiles to diagonally connected to even disconnected ones). Honestly quite amazing how much depth such a simple mechanic can bring. Would have loved to be able to rotate the tiles with the scroll wheel and play it entirely with the mouse though. And I was a bit irritated by the level names - is there any system behind the combination of numbers and letters?

WonkeyThanks for the comment!
Custom control schemes would have been nice, but was not the focus of my game. Other people also suggested different control schemes.
The level names are a combination of the number of blocks on the tile, a lowercase x (which the font only displayed in uppercase/big), and a letter/symbol that has some resemblance to the shape. So the common tetris shapes are name 4xT, 4xS, 4xL etc.
Nice puzzle game, had me going for a few levels, got stuck on 10 for ages and was very satisfied when I got past it XD

Head Ache (GMTK 2019)This game is very original, and that's very rare in jam of 3K entries! Its based on a simple mechanic but it can be made into something very complex. This game would be completely pereft for mobile, already as it is. Now, what I didn't like was that the spacebar wasn't very responsive, there was a little delay meaning that, impatient as I am, I would sometimes click twice. Great job overall! Good job with this game!
Would love if you could check mine out too! Or not, no pressure ;)

Lightless - Only One LightSir, I admire you and your game as you are the first person who managed to show me how to make and interesting game with only one tile. Well done.

One Spear, One KillI saw you wanted ratings (in the community section) so I played your great game. I really like it! The idea is really cool and also the puzzles themselves. Though a restart level or undo button would make it much less frustrating.

Simple. Efficient. Clean. Challenging. Tile.
Five words ; like five stars (the ones you've dropped in my eyes).

Share Your WordWow! This is a very solid game!
This is so polished and there is so much levels with very good ideas. I'm very impressed. I have not finished all the levels (currently stuck on 21) but I will for sure!
Love the pacing of your level series too. Once an hard level finished, you give a reward with a little simple level. It's a very good idea.
I have to ask: is it hard to design puzzles like that with only one shape? What's your process?
With a little relaxing music, it would be perfect!
Great job! Hope you will get featured! :D

Office IntrudersHey, thanks for the comment :)
Level 21 (and 33 for that matter), are definitely on another level of difficulty than the rest of the levels.
The design process is actually quite simple, and i thought about adding an actual level editor: You simply re-create the shape you have in Level Blocks (the gray ones), and copy/paste, position/rotate them so they dont overlap. Do that a few times and you got a solid chunk of level. Add some "Easy to place" pieces on the outside of that. Test some times, adjust accordingly.
When you have all levels, rate them by difficulty and put in a fitting order.
It's a lesson I always struggle with. Most small ideas tend to be a clever mechanic and very quick to make, leaving too much time to iterate and leaving me feeling "maybe I should make something bigger". I also tend to go for action to keep player actively engaged even If I do tend to prefer making more clever and thinking games. This Jam I realize that I do enjoy playing fun clever/puzzle games and they seem to be well received too! Will consider them more heavily in the future.
Thanks, I'll take your wisdom to heart!
