Really enjoyed this one! A nice twist on classic tetris, quite innovative. The extra features and achievements to keep players going are also a really nice addition. Only thing I would say is that the tipping itself is a little delayed, which may be intentional, but I found it a bit hard to know how each piece affected it. Great submission!

An enjoyable tetris inspired game! the sound when the other part is weaker is abit annoying tho. Really cool tilting mechanic that you have there! I really enoyed playing it throughly cause i ike tetris alot!. overrall good great game! music could be a bit better but a pretty enjoyable! there is still so much content in this game that i still havent explored yet, but yeah cool!

you can turn off the alarm in the settings page. I should have added an option to decrease the volume though.

This game is fun. I'm horrible at tetris so I don't think I can give a fair review on the difficulty, but I like the color fade and the tilting effect, it all feels nice to play. The biggest "problem" I had was that the warning sound was too loud and jumpscared me the first time I heard it. All of the other problems were a skill issue on my end. It's impressive how you were able to implement all of those mods in such a short timespan, too. Great Job!

I understand the warning being loud, so I included an option to turn it off in settings. The mods were fairly easy to implement with some minor changes to a few functions.

First of all, I am extremely impressed that you built this in 3 days, with extra modes, achievements, etc. I can't imagine the amount of time/crunch that this took

The visual effect for the tilt is really cool but it does get a bit confusing on the extreme ends

I really enjoy this and it is tons of fun, but to be fair, I think a good portion of that is because tetris itself is a lot of fun. The twist adds a new dynamic to the game, and I think it makes it more hectic even faster when things start to go wrong which is very exciting and stressful

If tetris didn't exist, this would be the greatest jam game of all time
