Been playing this game for about an hour and we are most of the way through (we think. Got four items remaining out of 12?). We wanted to write a short review now because we know we wouldn't find the energy to do so later.
First of all, love the trans colours. Genuinely what made us play the game. Very striking detail and kinda comforting. We appreciate the themes of change. We adore the wild characters you encounter, they are incredible. They appeal very much to our non-humanity. Despite only getting a couple of lines of dialogue, together with the art, they come across as having some personality, which is neat. It makes as very happy that defeating your opponent doesn't kill them or anything, they just step aside. That's comforting, too.
Finally, we like the mechanics. On the first fight, we didn't quite see where it was going, but after encountering a second type of opponent, it hit us how clever the game was. It is a short, quick game of creating lines with the blocks you are given. You only take damage when you place a block on top of another, and they disappear. It is something you can get right by trial and error, but you can develop a strategy for each opponents. We like that you gotta take strategically take damage, to reduce the blocks on the screen and manage to make a line.
Fun game, will try to finish it!
