The mechanics are really interesting and take some getting used to, it hasn't become second-nature for me yet, but the concept is fantastic! I wonder if gamepad support could help make the controls more intuitive. I think this is the most interesting game I've yet played during the jam!

I didn't understand how to play it, but the description sounds cool

Thanks, I have changed the description to clarify the gameplay, you can read it if you are interested.

Very interesting! It took me a bit to understand how it works. As soon as I figured it I got hooked! Here is my feedback, I think the game needs some kind of score to give the player a reason to keep going. Also, a tutorial might not be a bad idea. The gameplay is a bit complicated at first. At least it was to me.

Developer

Thank you! The gameplay is indeed unclear and lack of goal, I'll fix it in the next update! 

I managed to get the blocks falling sideways, is it supposed to do that?

Developer

Sorry I didn't make it clear that the blocks are falling above the player's head. If you stand on a wall, the blocks will fall sideways that allow you to create branches.
