How does your game fit the theme?
Its an inverse tetris game where the game gets harder as you play, fulfilling the life of a tetris block and its path to accomplish its purpose
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Really cool idea, lots of fun to play! Well done! The game wouldn't restart for me after game over, had to reload page to play again.
Really cool concept! I just wished you could rotate the blocks.
Nice game, would be great to be able to rotate the blocks.
In case I missed something or got some one-off bugs I have skipped rating this game for now. I may consider to try to play it again if I can. Even with the explanation on itch.io, I tried pressing every button it said and clicking, etc. but nothing works at all, there's nothing happening on the screen. What tips might anyone have? Thanks.
Hello! Thanks for leaving a comment, you can move with arrow keys and press spacebar to attach to other block, the idea is to form 4x4 areas to score points
Nice idea ! The gameplay feels unique !
Fun game, nice work!
Slightly annoyed by 2x2 tiles being shaded differently due to rotation, very distracting. Othewise - nice game.
Nice work, this is a cool spin on tetris! Some things Id like to see in a full release
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.
Nice job! The idea is awesome. The moving aspect really puts on the pressure and makes it fun. Some FX would've been cool as well as some sort of game mechanic that allows you more flexibility/ability to come back from mistakes.
Thank you! hoping to implement that on my last version
Hee-ho. Cool idea. Thanks for good experience
Thank you!
interesting concept, was there a way to rotate the block?
Thank you! the idea of an inverted tetris is that blocks spawn with random rotations too (90, 180, 270 degrees)
Very nice little game! Liked the twist of tetris but with cubes moving the opposite direction!
Thank you!
Excellent game. It's fresh twist on a familiar game, and it was pretty fun. Love the Don't Fear the Reaper cover. It went well with the gameplay.
Thank you! and +10 for noticing the cover
Great Job! Interesting concept.
keep going forward!
Thank you!
This game made me realize almost too late that my strategy on how to proceed or win, was completly wrong! great way to make people think outside of the box!
Thank you! glad that you like it
nice concept and surprisingly hard. love slightly fast paced puzzle games like this. With some more time and more mechanics could be a really decent game!
Thank you for playing! hope you play the latest version after the rating period is over!
Amazing idea.
Thank you for playing! hope you play the latest version after the rating period is over!
Pretty cool trying to slot the blocks on just right! Good job!
Thank you for playing! hope you play the latest version after the rating period is over!
simple but fun! it could have a slightly faster start but quickly got me thinking about how to pick up pieces so I don't hinder my movement :)
Thank you for playing! Noted! would love to play the latest version with all the balances after the rating period is over
It was hard for me to figure out how to play this game , i thought it was tetris , but the game was so creative , and challenging to play , the art is good .
Thank you for playing! hope you play the latest version after the rating period is over!
