Great game ! I would prefer that we can deposit the piece if we click on its spot, because sometimes i pick the wrong one and need to restart the level to free my hand. However you have done a good job, keep up the good work :)

Developer(+1)

You can actually click on another piece to select that one instead but I didn’t mention that in the tutorial… Thank you!

Submitted

Absolute brain scratcher. Great Job!

Developer

Thank you!

Polished game with a really clever and simple mechanic! I almost made it through without hints, though that last level gave me a headache ^^

I also really like the style and the relaxing music. The amount of levels is impressive. I feel like you could have done even more with the scaling mechanic, like levels where you need to use only part of the size change. A tile only expands until it gets blocked so for example your tiles scale by 3 steps, but you need to scale one of them only by 2 (it happened once but looking at the hint afterwards I didn't use your solution).

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! It’s quite impressive that you almost made it without hints. I tried to write the exact scale amount to make it a little easier (don’t know if that helped) but yes, I could make levels were tiles do not fully grow. :) Also I had some help for creating the levels.

I tend to be stubborn about doing things like this without help, and it took a while ^^

Having the exact amount definitely helped a lot. If you were to change that, the levels would have to be easier otherwise, for example with fewer shapes. I just thought it would add some more depth to the game, but it's already great the way it is.

Hey, look at that! I made basically the same game! Well, not quite.  I think your approach is really unique. It reminds me of Tetris with the "Next block" screen, but instead it modifies the playing field, kind of like a power up. To be honest, it was quite hard to wrap my head around this concept and even though I also made a puzzle game, I didn't get past "caped-man" (Love that you gave the levels names!), the second non-tutorial level in the game.

Definitely a cool concept, and a REALLY well polished game!

Developer

Yes, I agree. Thank you for playing. For “caped-man” the second block is the ‘L’ turned upside down in the upper right corner if you want to continue playing… It will get even more difficult though :D

Submitted

The first thing i have to say is "How the hell did you do that many levels", the second one is "it's so much polished" Thanks for that submission, very cool !

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I had some help for the levels :D

Submitted

I'm terrible at these sorts of games.... i couldn't get past the first non tutorial level haha
really polished visuals tho

Developer

Yeah, I guess it's not that easy... Thanks for giving it a try though! :D

Submitted

The puzzles were all really good. I liked that I could use a hint if I needed it. A lot of the time I was able to get pretty close on my first placement but needed to fiddle around to get the right sequence. I had a lot of fun playing.

Developer

Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

One of the best puzzles I've seen here! 

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Great puzzle game and a unique take on the theme. Style is very clean and the music fits well. You even have quite a bit of content. Very nicely done!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Submitted

Fun puzzle! Had lots of fun

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Very polished art style and game! Fun twist on the classic tetris, and a creative use of the theme. The scaling definitely made the game more challenging, but also a lot more exciting and enjoyable!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

I very much enjoyed this one. I agree that the tutorial was maybe a little difficult to parse, but I didn't have too much trouble and I appreciated how levels layered on and combined different mechanics. It's a really neat puzzle game with some solid design and excellent visuals + attention to detail (the blocks building the scene transition is sweet). Great work, thanks for submitting - will come back later and see if I can beat the other levels!

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Great game, but there should be a better discription how does it work.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yes, I really should have made a better tutorial.

Submitted

Fun gameplay and very well thought out puzzles - I really had to think! The art and audio work well together to create a nice relaxing vibe too :) Great game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

High quality game, will play again!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

This was awesome! I can't believe both the quality and the quantity of the puzzles you were able to come up with in the amount of time we had. I like the retro tetris-esque aesthetic, too. Admittedly, I did need to use a few hints, but they were really helpful for me in the early levels to wrap my head around the mechanic. Nice job!

Developer

Thank you so much! I had some help making the levels. Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

I really liked your game and I think it was one of the best puzzles I have played so far.

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

This is is a very cool puzzle game. Like others said it's a little hard to figure out but once you do it is really fun and satisfying. Great Job!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

I like your art for the game, but it is hard to understand what the arrows are actally doing.
But still a good entry!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Very nice feel and polish - the bones for a great puzzle game and/or mobile app here.  I will say I struggled to understand the concept for a bit, as the arrows didn't really explain what was happening - I wonder if there could have been a bit more buildup in complexity and/or animation of the expansion to clarify.  Still, very cool, clever, and simple concept.  nice!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I will probably make a better tutorial after the Jam is over.
