Loved this game! It is such a unique idea and take on biodiversity and re-introduction of animals to help tackle climate change. Great idea. The game itself was fun to play and interesting and I loved the art style and beaver and fox characters (thought the frog/toad character I found unnerving and unsettling haha). The unique twist on Tetris was very cool too, in that you must physically interact with the blocks themselves to build the dam.

Some improvements that could be made are:

  • Refined controls. The controls were a bit difficult for me personally. I think it would be better to have one interaction key that was context sensitive, therefore Space key could be used to chop down trees and to enter/leave rotate mode for blocks – but these actions only happen if in proximity to the object to interact with. Alternatively, maybe just changing from using Shift to the Enter key might have been easier to remember and use physically.
  • Making the tetrominoes “fall” faster I think would add some more jeopardy
  • More foxes to get in your way would be make it more challenging also Cool concept and overall great game well done :)

Cool concept and overall great game well done :)

Hey there, thanks for the feedback! 🥰

With the controls, we planned to keep it to one interact button but then this was too hard to get around moving the logs, especially with the rotating part. We found it to be a bit less intuitive when a player could just step on the blocks to make them move, cause sometimes a player would want to leave the log field while it moved the block with the player as well so that's why we made a separate button for the log mode. 😊

In terms of logs falling down, we actually planned to have it slightly faster and also have the player build more dams to finish the game, but in the end game we cut it down due to how hard it was to achieve the game win condition, especially with all the foxes coming around and complexity of the log levels the player may get and get stuck in. 😄

And same with foxes - we initially had them spawn more often, it is just at the late playtest stage we thought it may be too hard, considering it was hard for us - people working on the game - so we just nerfed this amount in the very last-second build just so people would be actually able to finish the game. 😊 We wanted to keep it simple so it is appealing to everyone, although we may have gone too easy with it! 😅

Thank you for taking the time to play the game! <3
