Seriously, how can the blocks not be snaped to grid when it is about building rectangles?

Developer

if we had a few more hours, it would have been ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This was a fun idea :D I had a good time, the pieces didn't fit into the boxes perfectly was a little frustrating for me and when you tried to drag the pieces around they would get stuck, but it was a creative take on the theme and the music was upbeat and inviting :) Good job on this!

I found this surprisingly meditative, good job! Some quick notes:

- Snapping blocks would have been a great addition

- I start piling blocks on the board to "save" them so I could see what pieces I was working with. There wasn't really a downside to this that I could see

- My pieces kept getting stuck since I could only bring them from the right side

- Being able to choose a time limit would have been nice! I think 2 - 5 minutes for a game like this would work well otherwise players may not stick around to the end.

Thanks for your feedback. 

- Yeah grid snapping would be nice. 

- Currently I have no clue how to discourage, putting boxes onto the playing field.

- Different time modes would be nice, question is then how to compare scores.

I enjoyed playing this.  I like the concept! I wish that the pieces locked into place because sometimes my pieces got stuck, making me unable to place a new piece where I wanted it.

Developer

thank you :D yeah there is still quite a bit of room for improvement and polish
