I love it! I would've like more blocks that climbs from its left side

A good execution of a solid concept, occasionally felt the little guy moved a bit too quickly from side to side, but otherwise great! The little crouched guy is my favourite.  

Submitted

Not bad by any means, especially for a 48-hour submission.  I kind of wish there was some additional challenge, though, like blocks being destroyed over time or containing spikes or other hazards.  Also, the character felt kind of weightless and unnaturally agile—I feel like polishing the platforming part a bit more could've dramatically improved the experience.  Still, I enjoyed it.

Submitted

I liked the gameplay gave me a Tetris vibe. Love the fact that you need to build and climb. Would love to see physics-based placement. Now I could always escape easily.

Submitted

Unique idea and fire barrels were great addition! Movement was really solid and whole experience felt polished.

For improvements I suggest to improve platform designs. Not sure what exactly would be the best solution. But what i mean is that some platforms if placed incorrectly can lead to player getting stuck, since player is unable to go trough blocks, and can not jump high enough. Also some gaps are small and require crouching, or jumping mid air to get to the platform above. Of course it is probably just me having skill issue, but i felt that i constantly bumping my head everywhere and falling down if i make single mistake :D

Overall impressive work in such a short time, well done!

Love the gameplay and how it's so polish! The button layout for hand placement is nice and not confuse.

Submitted

Super nice and polished game! Love that the game feels finished even with that short of development time!

Really interesting twist for a tetris type game. Good work!

Submitted

Really enjoyed this clever twist on tetris, good job!

Submitted

Cool game! unfortunately I am uncoordinated with myself and stuggle trying to control the blocks and the player at the same time haha!

Submitted

Nice soundtrack and really interesting concept!

Submitted

Simple yet effective. And thank you for such nice and smooth controls and not relying in physics engines. Yet I feel it fits the game as a pun doesn't really exploit it much. But overall really cool visual, music and gameplay.

Submitted

very well polished game me likey

Submitted

Good work !

Submitted

This is cool as hell. I love how it totally flips the classic tetris instincts on their head - rather than packing in the platforms as low as possible, you need to stack them as high as you can!

Submitted

Really cool game! Love the Tetris inspiration. Found myself trying to use space to jump instead of W a lot might benefit from allowing both options! Not sure if the exploding barrels were supposed to damage the player? Also love the leniency with the fire, almost thought it didn't kill you until I got fully engulfed.

Submitted

Love the visual elements, feels super polished and a great starting place for a full game tbh!!
