A simple but effective Tetris-like game. The falling block feeling is well done; I think it would have benefited from being a bit faster, but other than that, it's great ^^

Fun way to play Tetris ! I wished the speed of the game increase with time or number of pieces you place, but anyways, I enjoy it. The game feels polish and well made, good job !
Thank you!
Super fun, love the accessibility too.
The next up piece UI is quite hard to read, but other than that the game is great. art is good and the physics is fun to play with.
I want a little more challenge than just build big, but for a jam game its great!
Well done ❤️
Thanks!
As a tetris game connoisseur, I can confirm this is super duper fun. :] I like that you have to be really precise with your placements, and think about how it would affect the tower. I also appreciate the inclusion of zoomed out version of the board showing the player a clear view of the entire tower. All in all it's a great experience, and the music is funky too!
For such a simple idea, this easily takes the cake for how much fun can be crammed into "tetris but with a physics engine". I would absolutely spend hours on this just trying to get a high score!
This was a funky twist on tower building! I really enjoyed playing around with the physics and trying to push my tower to its limits!
Fun twist on the tetris format. The music had me locked in!
Wow, this is a really fun game! The chip-tune music really sets the vibe :)
super polished and good feeling game, extra props for controller support felt great! great audio and presentation too i love how the blocks have their shape within them to add that extra bit of clarity and the whole game reeks polish
Fun game, the physics is a bit weird to understand at first, but the music and the score incentive made me continue to play for a bit.
It's a good idea to make it so you loose when all your block in the scaled screen are out.
Good jam!
Thanks!
Fun game, music was boppin and the stacking is pretty fun. It was pretty easy to keep on stacking as high as possible though.

Absolutely adorable, simple and satisfying! Love the physics sooooo much
It's peak
Thank you!
Just wanna say, I have come back to this game more than any other in the jam so far, it's genuinely so fun, the physics feel incredibly satisfying, and all around it's just a really good spin on tetris. incredibly good game!!!
I love the style and loose physics! I love the overall feel
Thanks so much!
Very cool idea! I love the simple gameplay and art. Tis very fun to try to get a higher score. Well done!
Cool game ! Nice implementation of tricky tower genre for this jam. I fits well the theme. I loved the wibe of the game.

This is very creative! It's such a cool idea to have a tetris game where you're trying to get as high as possible instead of keeping it as low as possible. And the fact that movement and rotation is smooth and not rigid makes it far more entertaining. I just wish there was a lose condition to make pieces falling a little more intense. But other than that, Great Job!
