Nice work, this is a cool spin on tetris! Some things Id like to see in a full release

  1. Ability to rotate my character, or maybe be able to rotate the pieces somehow coming up. A way to do this would be to assume that your character is (0,0), on an axis, and by swapping the x and y coordinates / negating them you can perform the different rotations
  2. Some option to restart the game, and maybe a pause button
  3. When the timer ran out nothing really happened, at least not that I noticed
  4. Not sure i fully understood how the scoring worked, it turned to weird number symbols and didnt seem to update after that. A leaderboard would be a cool addition for a score based game like this. We implemented one using a service called LootLocker, where you just need an access key and call their api with scores and a name/id

Also nice reference to dont fear the reaper in the music ;)

Hi MrShut! Really appreciate the feedback and glad you noticed the music.

1. I thought about it, the thing it that rotating the whole attached blocks when its too big could be a bit of trouble, but I didnt have time to test it so I will.

2. I've already added a restart, the menues were all bugged on my submission and fixed on the final release, about the pause button, the original tetris doesnt have a pause, that would be kinda " easier" since you can pause to think for a bit and unpause to do the strategy.

3. Indeed I didnt have time to add a final and its just restarts for some reason, now it shows the total score on the ending. The idea was to end the life of the player as falling into a tetris game and completing some rows.

4. Yes, it seems that I added a weird font that its not supported here on the page and it ended up that, the idea is that once you make a 4x4, all color blocks attached dissapear and score 40 points. On the current state the games gets way harder, if you want to play it I uploaded the last release on my dashboard. And thanks a lot about the score board, I though about that too but I didnt do the proper research

much appreciate the feedback, since this is my first jam that I ever participated on.

hello again! So, i wanted to thank you for recommending LootLocker for the leaderboard, i've added on my last release and it works awesome
here is the link if you want to try it out
