- I found the art to have been done quite well; from the characters to the environment and even the items. The music was nicely done, too; a tad catchy and a plus for me to be able to adjust the audio settings in general. And while the overall playability of the game was simplistic, the concepts of overtaking space as a form of battle (may be a stretch) could be interpreted as how shadow was used from both themes here. As for alchemy, I couldn't grasp what your interpretation of it was while playing, unless, that had to do with the combination of the blocks/tiles. While I may not have found this game to be an experience for me, I would still like to see if there may be other ways to interpret the themes within the combat or playstyle. All the same, do keep up the hard work.

Tell us about your game!
Tetrarcana is a 2 player local pvp puzzle game.
You fight for territory by combining tetrominoes and placing them on a board.
Once the board is 90% filled with pieces of both colours, the game ends and the player with the greater number of tiles on the board wins!
Mouse to move pieces, 'E' to rotate and left click to place.
Extra Notes
Sorry for the double submission but pressing "shift + enter" in the submission forms under the discord names just submitted it for me.

Innovative twist to a classic game! Simple and nice art work. Easy to learn how to play the game, but still the element of skill to beat your opponent. Well done!
Thanks a ton!!
As someone who absolutley loves tetris, big well done on the puzzle-solving aspect! I love the theme of light and shadow clashing against each other too! keep it up!
Didn't get to try it with someone else, but playing around with the mechanics I can see the strategies that would be involved in trying to win, such has finding the right tiles to overlap to maximise the size of your placement.
Art style is nice and clean and is consistent across the board. Excited to come back and try this with someone later! Good work!
Thanks a ton! Glad you liked it!!
