Hi there,
Nice game. I kind of like the gameplay mechanic which works really great.
The pixel style works great with the sound and the gameplay, it feels really retro. :D
Two things I miss: Restarting in a specific (already reached) level and a tetris like endless mode (probably where new blocks keep spamming from the ground.
Great, great game. I wish I had had this idea :D I love it, well done!
Such a nice idea, graphics are neat and animations are really well done. Good job !
Nice little take on the theme and the block match genre! The block queue/levels and are a little haphazard and random (in other words, there isn't necessarily much distinct difference from one level to the next,) but its still a nifty game!
Had a blast with this, but then i kept dying! I wish the next generated block wasn't so random, (or I can at least see the next one!) would make it so much more fun!
Well made, but I was disappointed in an apparent lack of strategy. With no idea what color you're going to get next, you can't really plan ahead which makes winning or losing feel random.
Nice title screen though!
I would have enjoyed too to be able to restart from the level where I failed instead of "from the start".
Interesting take on the theme, I feel the "ceiling" is coming down a bit too fast but otherwise it makes for a funny efficient nice little game.
I haven't played it for very long, but I suspect the music can get very repetitive pretty quick. An improvement to add would probably be to add a switch, allowing to turn it off.
Congratulations for making a game in 48 hours and submitting it to the compo !
love the game mechanic. i could see this being great on a smartphone
Simple and fun mechanics, I love how relaxing the gameplay is after some of the 'heavier' games I've played today. :D Spent quite a few time playing your game!
Nice simple game. The animations are good too. I think gameplay lacks some strategy. Maybe if you show the next pieces, the player will be able to plan ahead. Bigger levels (with height > 10) can encourage some strategising too. :)
Cool idea. Would be nice to be able to see the next N blocks that are coming so you could be a bit more strategic about your movies.
Nice! Definitely a fun concept. Would be better with some more concrete level design/puzzles though, feels pretty random currently.
hi there! i found the audio a bit annoying, but the game is really addictive and i enjoyed it! super fun =D
Nice little game,! graphics are great in my opinion, sound was good and gameplay was too!
I love this game it is very much fun. Well done and good luck with this one. It might be a winner....
This game is absolutely charming, and a blast to play. Congratulations on such an amazing entry!
Very good puzzle game, makes me want more :) Like having combos and be able to see the next block. Also it would be nice if we didn't had to start over from the beggining each time you die. But in overall you did a great job !
Funny idea. Also fitting music. A little disapointing That you have to start from the beginning when you lost.
Sometimes it is more random if you can place the block usful.
Simple and efficient ! Base mecanics are goods.
You need to add power ups (explose line, jump boost, joker block, pushable blocks, slow, ...) because it will be a bit annoying otherwise.
I'd like to see the next block too.
Good work.
This was very nicely done. I had a lot of fun playing it and I felt like you had a lot of fun making it. Great work! :D
Nice use of the theme ! That was really fun to play.
I'm really bad at this kind of game so it takes me a lot's of retry to just go to level 10 :D
Interesting mechanics, fairly basic but fun. Cute graphics and music. Nice work!
This is aaaaaaaaalmost the best game ever. So simple and satisfying yet challenging and nervous. Tweak the control and make it so you can somehow plan ahead, add bonuses and combos and I will throw my money at you until you drown in paper and metal.
Very interesting take on the matching blocks genre! Might want to nail down the movement speed and make it feel really really good, but aside from that, wonderful game!
well its official this game is so much fun that i bookmarked it!
This was super fun! Good job, with some polish this could become something really rad.
Just need to work on your colour harmonies, otherwise controls felt super tight.

MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
very good! well done!
