Before I entered this LD, I decided I wanted to make a grid puzzle with possibly random generated levels, as I made some already and knew they can be done fast. Which I did. It actually took me just about 18 hours, or one day. I feel like it is finished though.
UPDATE: I just made a very slight change of defaulting the music to muted and decreasing volume of the win sound. I hope that can still go into the compo version and doesn't break the rules.

omg this is very nice logic game with random generator. This game is very nice.
Puzzles were good. Music was a bit irritating after a short while. Good job none the less!
Good presentation of the game with the rolling box. Music is bad but it doesnt matter because there are mute options. The level generator is a big bonus!
Ha ha, puzzle 6 is a trap ;)
The music is pretty awful, but the graphics are not at all what I expected after your blog post. It's likely that simpler, stylistic graphics would ultimately work better, but these are by no means awful. Just perhaps a bit noisy for your puzzles with the candy pictures. You weren't at all wrong to experiment with graphics, even if they don't ultimately fit this game as well as they might a different kind of game. :)
The puzzles themselves are very good! The mechanic of having some switch to squares works nicely. We have to work out if it's necessary, and if so, on what piece or pieces. Full marks for Fun :)
Thanks for sharing this! I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Er, at least, my level 6 was a trap ;) I didn't mess with the generation. But yeah, I had fun. Solid puzzles. Even more impressive if they're generated randomly, wow.
Good interpretation of the theme, well done on implementing procedural level generation!
I really like the take on the theme, as well as the concept of your game. I included it in my video compliation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/NUKW4hicpYU
Nice puzzle game! I really like procedural stuff and I think this is a good showcase. Well done!
Wow. I am impressed! Very good level design and solid animation. Cute chocolates, too! Very well done! Very cool take on the tetris theme of fitting odd blocks somewhere.
Took me a bit to figure out it was just swapping between squares and the original shape, after that it was challenging enough. Great job!
I like the idea of randomly generated puzzles. There's a lot more that could be done with these mechanics.
Nice addition of the theme to an existing puzzle mechanic. I had a hard time at some levels. Couldn't remember the second shape long enough :-)
Nice idea, very different, and the random generation seems pretty clever too. As others have said, the music got very tiring quickly though!
Nice Game, but the fact that you can only make one shape in addition to the original shape feels boring. Perhaps more shapes, but it's more about how they are placed in relation to each other (more of the same type that are connected, more points you get)
Nice puzzle game man! Didn't have the patience to play so much, but I am gonna come back to this!
Great puzzle game.
This is a game I'd like to keep playing later on.
Sometimes it's hard to select the pieces, but I like this game a lot.
I like it a lot! It's like Tetris meets Mahjong. Impressive random generation!
Great job with the random level generator, and a solid puzzle foundation to build it on.
With some polish (more exciting sound effects, flashier art) you would have a pretty nice little puzzle game you could probably sell on an app store.
Nice puzzle game. I like seeing LD games that are challenging for reasons other than janky controls. :p
Random puzzle generation is an awesome bit of polish for a compo entry.
Great puzzle mechanics, becomme a bit too "try everything" after a while. Keep up the good work.
Nice puzzle generator, works pretty well. Adding some nice graphics and sounds would turn this into a pretty solid game. Good job! :-)
The shape fitting games are super neat! I like how you made each piece be able to change shape which allowed for more combinations. Overall an awesome entry!
Found this through Feedback Friends after LD36.
Great game! I love puzzle games like this. The biggest problem is that the control to switch between normal and boxed shape is really hard to use.
Also the music doesn't loop perfectly, which makes my hair stand on end. But the mute options make that not an issue.
I love that it's randomly generated and that the puzzles are still reasonable. Great work!

Mini Submission FAQ
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.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
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 at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
Nice randomly generated puzzle code. Sound is atmospheric but a bit irratating. Good work completing something so quick!
