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

Slightly annoyed by 2x2 tiles being shaded differently due to rotation, very distracting. Othewise - nice game.

Archeological EmergencyNice work, this is a cool spin on tetris! Some things Id like to see in a full release
- Ability to rotate my character, or maybe be able to rotate the pieces somehow coming up. A way to do this would be to assume that your character is (0,0), on an axis, and by swapping the x and y coordinates / negating them you can perform the different rotations
- Some option to restart the game, and maybe a pause button
- When the timer ran out nothing really happened, at least not that I noticed
- Not sure i fully understood how the scoring worked, it turned to weird number symbols and didnt seem to update after that. A leaderboard would be a cool addition for a score based game like this. We implemented one using a service called LootLocker, where you just need an access key and call their api with scores and a name/id
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.
hello again! So, i wanted to thank you for recommending LootLocker for the leaderboard, i've added on my last release and it works awesome
here is the link if you want to try it out

Very nice little game! Liked the twist of tetris but with cubes moving the opposite direction!

Chaotic SeasExcellent 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.

Channel 2 Weathernice 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!

Little Green DinosPretty cool trying to slot the blocks on just right! Good job!

Calm before the S.T.O.R.M.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 :)

Calm before the stormInteresting idea :). I don't know if it's just me, but when i die, I kinda get stuck

Cloudy DaysReally creative twist on the Tetris type of games, fully score on innovation! I was a little confused about what the timer did and the exact specification for a 4x4 square, since I definitely had a 4x4 square that didn't get cleared. Would have loved to see some cool polish and juice to up the satisfaction of gathering blocks and clearing a 4x4 square. Overall, nicely done!

"Tetris?"
This game is almost as impressive as my friend, who holds a world record in real-life Tetris. Yeah, he’s that good. The graphics here are pretty solid, but I mean, they’re nothing compared to watching my friend dominate Tetris in record time. The gameplay? It’s fun, though I couldn’t help but think how my Tetris-champion friend would breeze through it. The puzzles are challenging, but not quite "world-record-Tetris" challenging, if you know what I mean. Still, the mechanics are smooth, and the fun factor is high. But seriously, my friend? World record in Tetris. No big deal or anything.
Bro good game my friend will try to have the record in your game. :)
Oh wierd! I like this one, it's a pretty unique way to make a tetris game. Good stuff!
