Cohesion to the theme is not very clear, however I spent a good 15 minutes just playing this game. Incredibly creative idea and really fun gameplay. Great job! :D

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it:] Yeah if I had my time again I would make the block shapes correspond to the number on a dice roll or something. They currently do that in code but I agree it needed to be clearer visually. Thanks for playing!

Wow nice job with this. I know you said you used pre-existing art, but damn it all looks so great together. I love the tricky towers/tetris gameplay and is overall just very polished. Multiple levels with different designs and even the medals based on time (which were all so hard haha). Not the most strongly related to the theme, but I overall had a great time so you definitely succeeded! Well done!

Very nice and polished game! Really great mechanic, reminds me a bit of tricky towers but with your own twist. Was really fun. I was able to glitch myself into winning by spamming ^, but it was still really fun to play, good job!

Developer

Thanks ! Glad you liked it :) Did you manage to beat all the levels by spamming? Or just the forest one? 

Submitted(+1)

I didn't try it on all of them, I think it was just the first one I tried it on.

Developer

There is a wind effect on the other levels which prevents the spamming but I left it off the forest to make it the easier intro level.

I couldn't get it to work in the other levels, but what I meant was, that if you spam up really fast, you can place multiple blocks while going up, and this for some reason sometimes causes you to win, even though you never had a continuous connection to the finish line.

ah I see what you mean! haha yeah that is a bug for sure. Nice find! Once the game jam is over I will patch that, should be pretty easy to fix

It's a really creative take on Tetris...  I loved it.. but I think the Physics of it was not player friendly... Had a good time trying to reach till the top, but I couldn't :(

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry to hear you couldn't reach the top, if you try the forest level that one is the easiest as there is no wind to contend with. I do agree that more polish is needed to improve the movement/physics mechanics. Thanks for playing !

This was a fun idea, though the connection to the theme seemed a little far-fetched to me. Also, I'm terrible at the game as it turns out. I didn't quite understand when blocks turned solid, is it after a certain time they didn't move?

Small nitpick: < and > are not exactly great key choices for non-QUERTY users.

Developer

thanks LukasWho I appreciate the feedback:) To answer your question the blocks turn solid when they are completely surrounded on all sides but the system definitely needs some more polish to make it clearer. 

Sorry about the non-QUERTY key issues, I didn’t have time to setup a controller remapping system.
