Really good, unique visuals and fun gameplay with a cool idea. It doesn't seem like it has coyote time though, I think that would help a bit but maybe I'm just not pressing it fast enough. :)

This is very nicely polished experience, also i like the idea, that it is just switched. So instead of trying to fit it the best you could, just fit it the best so it scales up to top. Very nice.

Really cool idea and art style. Sometimes I found I would get caught on the edges of blocks while trying to jump straight up, but thats my only complaint. Nice game

Nice visuals, and a really interesting mechanic. Enjoyed the challenge!

A rather unusual concept. Sometimes, it can be difficult to keep track of two things at the same time. It is moderately cheerful and a good idea. It's moderately fun and intense. The visuals are cool and the track is pleasant, although there were some minor technical issues, you made a great game.

I wish I had two brains! :0 I had a lot of fun playing! It’s hard to focus on Tetris while trying to survive.

The idea is SOOO good, very creative, and I thought it was pretty interesting that the 3D blocks have a different depth than what we expect it to be looking at their 2D version - nice twist here.
Great job!

This was fun and pretty creative! The 2d tetris blocks translating into 3d was kind of difficult to picture, though. They were making lots of movements they all looked like jumbled up rubix cubes when rotating them. Great job

Very fun game, although it kinda became "look at the 2d screen" for me to be honest. I just completely ignored the 3 dimensional space and just moved left and right because the blocks went so fast. As I touched the top of the level I kinda glitched out of the map and couldn't do anything else besides sticking to the virtual walls and moving strangely to say so. Pretty fun game nonetheless!

Developer

thanks for the feedback. We are happy you enjoyed it. We didn’t get enough time to polish out the ending bit….so stay tuned for another update on that :3 regarding the screen split, yes we have some plans to make this more accessible.

Very nice concept of I'd like to call it: "different Tetris perspective" haha! I think the idea was very creative and the entire game got well executed. It's great!
