Awasome game! I had a great time with it! The tutorial quality is next level! Nice job!
This a really awesome game, my favorite in this jam so far. The art and is great, and the music is very soothing.
The mechanic to have the next step happen at an interval is really great, as I found myself realizing that I need to place down even more blocks which was extraordinarily fun.
Great work. I am really impressed!
Really awesome game, I was hooked! The music was subtle, thought maybe it could do with some variety, but the writing and the characters and the mechanics were REALLY solid.
its so amazing how atmospheric and good yet so simple your games are!
One of the best games I've played so far! Relaxing, but at the same time keeps me at my toes as the difficulty increases. The difficulty felt fair, gameplay is so polished, and the multiple dialogues was a nice feature. Congrats on your entry!
This game is really good, I want to play more, good job! :o
Great polished game, tutorial helped a lot :)
One of the best games I've seen, this was so much fun, the tutorial was detailed and helped a lot, the pacing was good and the art so cute! fantastic work!
Very unique game, great job!
Really fun man lol. I got uptil the puppet master but I'll definitely play more.I loved how every encounter felt unique and had it's own mechanic ( The puppet master and copy robot in particular lol ). Mechanics were simple and easy to grasp and led to a lot of on-the-fly thinking. Presentation was simple and top-notch as always.
My only gripe is that I felt I won or lost out of luck sometimes. Still a great game
Tetris and RPG combat make a unexpected friendship in this eerie adventure game. ONWARD BLOCKS!
This is my favorite game of the jam thus far, amazing work
This is a remarkably polished entry for 48 hours, impressive. I like the mechanic a lot, and it is unique. On lower brightnesses though it could be hard to see. Good job!
oh wow! what a fantastic entry! very original mechanic, pleasing graphics (color themes!!!), interesting enemies — definitely a highlight! thank youuuu
I liked this a lot. The actions go at a leisurely pace and you have time to tell what's going on, each enemy is unique and pleasant to fight. My only complaint is the amount of text in the tutorial, but mechanics were intuitive and I wasn't confused.
A fantastic entry; very polished presentation and well executed mechanics. I thought each enemy felt distinct and changed the way you had to interact with the mechanics. In particular, the Copy Robot and the Shield Smasher were very clever, as I had to completely change my strategy for them.
I love it! It’s complete, interesting, original, and feels good to play. Excellent entry!
This was great fun!
I wasn't always that good at remembering patterns or planning ahead, but still manged to finish things~
Great work!
I didn't' really understand the game, but you did such a good job that just putting the blocks down and watch the turns pass was fun, good job.
This is such a good game, can't believe it's made in two days!
