Really nice game, love beating scores and having to think about not just the shapes' rotation, but also the time I place it and how its lines might affect other shapes. Only suggestion I have is to have a preview of where your lines will go before you place down the block (it's pretty clear already, this would just make it easier to see where it gets blocked), and have a "Next Level" button after clearing it. Great work, lovely relaxing vibes, and all around a fun puzzle game!
Those are some good suggestions! I'll definitely consider those ina future update. Thank you so much for playing!
Loved the game! The idea of a DEV score to beat is really fun! Another neat thing I couldn't help but appreciate was the background - I didn't even notice how smooth and soothing its colors and animations were before really looking at it!
Thank you so much! I was really aiming for a relaxing experience with only a bit of challenge, so the background is important! And the Dev score just gives an optional challenge to think about the level in a different way.
I feel stupid for not being able to get past level 4, but the gameplay was very smooth and I didn't encounter any issues, so good job!
Thank you for playing! One hint that helped a play tester for that level was that you have to place the Green block twice.
I enjoyed this! The music was really relaxing, the sound effects too. Good job!
Thank you! although I didn't create the music/sfx myself it's still quite a task trying to find ones that aren't obnoxious :P
Well, look at that!
That's nearly my game! :D
I made a similar game about a scaling block puzzle. I think your approach making it a turn-based game is really interesting, although I haven't quite yet wrapped my head around it. I also think the aesthetic is interesting. It reminds me of these old phone games, where the displays were advanced enough to show more detail and color, but the smartphones weren't quite invented yet.
Thank you for checking it out! I played your game and have to agree it's similar!
And is that aesthetic a good or bad thing? xP
It made me feel like I was 6 years old playing on my grandmas phone Bubble Pop! :D So yes, I think it's a cool aesthetic!
Thanks for rating my game too!
Visuals and polish is really impressive! The puzzles are unique and fun and the difficulty scales well. It would've been more satisfying if the last block of each turn fills in, rather than immediately showing the win screen. Really nice work!
I remember planning to make sure it fills in fully before showing the victory screen but I must've forgotten at some point. Thanks for playing!
I love the smoothness ! Also very good designed levels. Great work.
Nicely polished, and an interesting concept once I figured out the trick to it.
Sleek visuals, satisfying animations and quite smart puzzles, amazing game!
Fun game! It gets tough quick but I enjoyed it!
I was worried it was too easy so I focused on harder levels, In a future update I might add more intermediate and easy levels so smooth the difficulty.
Good Job !! Really clever mechanics and simple and awesome graphics !!. Congrats !!
Thank you! I was worried about the game feeling too simple, Glad you like it!
I like the idea here!
Unique, challenging, looks good and feels smooth to play. Nicely done :)
Thank you so much!
