I would love to see this become a full game, there is so much potential on this twist on tetris, really really enjoyed it
I found this really fun, but there was a bug that was kinda annoying. I managed to get really high above the lava once, but then a piece spawned inside me and I got stuck.
Regardless, this was VERY fun, and I' going to keep playing until I get above 50. (my record is 33)
Really interesting take on Tetris! The opening cutscene was really nicely put together, worth playing just to see it alone. Gameplay is pretty fun, shame I could only climb up 27 metres. Just wish you could see further ahead of you to see the blocks. Well done!
Love the art style and the concept but it's realllly challenging, I'm ashame to say my score lol
I love the art, especially the backgrounds! Movement is also very smooth!
I love all of this! The artstyle, music and gameplay are all great :D It reminds me of Tetris'D, a game that I used to love as a kid.
love this one! a mix of ingredients that really comes together in a simple and satisfying way
Really fun style, the pixelated graphics were so well done (especially for that opening cutscene, it was so well put together)! Gameplay was also different from what I expected as well, and it took me a bit to realize you had to shoot blocks to make them rotate which was a really neat concept. There was the occasional clipping into falling blocks and sometimes getting softlocked and having to purposely die to reset (though this is probably a skill issue for me), but this was super enjoyable over all, great work!
Very cool concept!! Fun to play and the theme is nice too
I love this. As someone who has made both an insane Tetris mashup game and a block-climbing game inspired by Avalanche, I feel like this was made just for me! The art is adorable too, I'm really impressed by making a whole opening animatic.
What a Tetris master!
Awesome concept! I had a run that went on for about 5 minutes but unfortunately the scoring system bugged out and said I only ascended 5 meters :(
That was fun! Cutscene was amazing and cute. Took me a while to figure out that I can jump off the walls. I enjoyed playing it even though I only got up to 30 meters. The only problem is that I think blocks spawn too close to the player sometimes. Once, it even spawned right above me, so I had no time to react.
this game is awesome! great gameplay and nice and polished pixel art <3
The thumbnail made me curious about this game, I find it really cute hahah. the mechanic elavated tetris, the art style was also great <3
a great take on tetris and platformers! and the art is fantastic too!
What a twist on Tetris!
Wow. What an amazing idea. I am a big fan of Tetris (mostly 40L sprint), and this was a great approach to innovating on the game. I love the art! Unfortunately I am not as good at this game as actual Tetris 🤣. Great job!
I love the concept! Awesome art and movement feels so smooth
