The graphics and sounds are really cute. I enjoyed playing this! I do find that it is a bit too easy and the difficulty ramps up too slowly.
Thanks for the feedback - yeah it seems that a few people have mentioned the difficulty curve... I think that I need to start people on the equivalent of level 3 but tweak the number of blocks that fall per drop - and then I can adjust that as it gets harder...
This is a really cute and fun great and really well done and polished for a game jam . the use of music aswell made for a nice experience and atmosphere. very well done this game deserves to do well
Thanks very much! :)
This is a really cool twist on the concept, everything is really clean from the art and sound effects to the core mechanic!
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it!
really cute and nice game! i love the artstyle, good job!
Thanks for playing it!
Such a nice game! I really enjoyed the feel of this game, no timers, no stress.... The complete opposite of the games I make. :) Anyway, this is absolutely one of my favourites! Well done!
Wow! Thanks very much! I am considering adding a timed mode into the post-jam update (if i do one!), which would be a new game selection... there are some people who like the additional pressure :D
I like this take on the tetris formula, very relaxing and the difficulty goes up nicely as you get better at the game. Really nice game!
Thanks very much for the feedback!
Great art style! I found the game super relaxing and the controls made it pleasant to play. Maybe offer a real time mode for more of a challenge?
I like that idea... maybe use a timer between drops instead of a move counter... could be a nice new game mode! Thanks!
It's cute how all the animals run so fast in a line haha. I didn't find the game to be challenging, but I see more of a relaxing time killer.
It gets a LOT harder around level 5 onwards. No-one has gotten higher than level 6 at this point! Its certainly relaxing at low levels, and that was intentional, but I think that I need to adjust the difficulty curve to keep people interested... Thanks for playing!
Very cute Tetris like game.
Thank you!
Wow great game! Kind of feels like a new age, more involved and heart-felt Tetris! I haven't seen anything else like it so I really enjoyed it. Felt very different to other games I have played so far in this game jam and I'm up to about 30 games played :D Awesome work!
Thanks very much! I wanted to go for something maybe a little more abstract than other games in the jam (though I still need to actually check out the other entries) which was a challenge, but I think it turned out OK!
Yeah great job 😄. You can start with my game if you like haha please rate and review when you get a chance <3
Solid game with a nice theme and relaxing music. I think different shaped pieces or ramped up speed after a few minutes would help to keep the momentum as the player learns the mechanics after a few rounds. A nice cohesive effort!
Thanks very much! Yeah I need to work on the difficulty curve a bit - someone else also suggested differently shaped pieces, so I might see if I can extend the game to include those (at some point).
Very fun and addicting, also this game works great on mobile devices. Loved the artwork!
Wow thats great! I deliberately added in touch screen support as that felt like a natural fit, but I could only test that on my laptop so I was unsure whether it would work elsewhere!
Smart thinking! I went the exact opposite route and made mine only using a phone, not adding mouse support and really hoping for the best haha
This was really cute, I liked the take on a classic game. The sound effects sound really good. love that animal stampede sound
Thanks very much! I spent a fair amount of time trying to find, edit and layer the sound effects - so your feedback is really great to hear!
Nice fun and relaxing :)
Thanks very much!
This was a lot of to fun, the later levels gotten a little tricky, would love to the difficulty ramp up and slowly become fast-paced.
Yeah the difficulty curve isn't very smooth at the moment. As the levels increase so the number of moves you have before the next drop decreases, until you hit level 6 when you start getting more lines per drop. I think that their needs to be another adjustment (maybe number of blocks per line?) that I can add in to make that a bit better for the user... Thanks for playing and the feedback!
Really relaxing game and art direction is top :)
Thanks very much! I was trying for a relaxing but challenging game that looked fairly cute - I think, from peoples comments, that I have nearly accomplished that!
it's a nice game.
Thanks!
Really cute and relaxing! The horde of animals running through look great and made me smirk :D
I‘d love it to be a little more difficult, maybe some tetris inspired blocks going over several rows could help.
Great fit for the theme, I like what you put together here :)
Oooo, thats an interesting idea! Thanks! I need to tweak the difficulty curve somehow, maybe by reducing/increasing the number of blocks dropped per line or adding in more interesting blocks as you suggest... there's a few things I can try
Great little game, nice little twist on games likes tetris and fits the theme perfectly. Now to get on the leaderboards. Well done
Thanks very much! Glad you liked it! No one has beaten my score (yet) - I'm Stingly, at the top ;)
Great job, really enjoyed it! Good execution and fun gameplay. If you work on it more in the future, it might be nice if you could move the tiles while others were dropping, as when the level gets faster this takes up most of the time.
Cheers Beardy, thanks for playing! Yeah the moving-while-dropping thing caused a LOT of bugs when I tried it initially, and so it was easier to just not allow that rather than to actually fix the problem ;) The levels don't actually get faster - you simply have less moves before the next drop. You could leave it standing for hours and no more blocks would fall until you moved a piece. From level 6 you start to get multiple lines per drop, so it becomes more difficult.
ah ok I didn't realise it was move based! I will have another go with that knowledge in mind! (I probably didn't read an instruction somewhere about that)
There wasn't any instruction, to be fair - though there is a movement counter above the drop button that indicates the number of moves left. I'm not 100% happy with the UI and I think it needs to be overhauled as that and the combo modifier aren't very clear.
