How does the game fit the theme?
This is a puzzle game where you place Tetromino blocks that are mirrored on two boards. Nothing can go wrong on the left board... But everything can go wrong on the right board... Your goal is to clear all the darkness squares on the right board. You do this by overlapping different colored Tetromino blocks on the left board to create light blocks. After you play 3 blocks you get to select a combination of light squares. The selected light will repel the darkness around them!

I like puzzle idea and how good it was made. Good work!

Submitted

This is such a unique little puzzle idea. Amazed how you two managed to think of the design, let alone polished it so much. I'm very impressed, and had a lot of fun with this!

Best score I got was a 15. Love to know what the least amount of turns you two devs have beaten your own game with <3

Nice concept. Took me longer than I would like to admit to finish it though... Good Job!

Submitted

Great game with a nice concept!

Great game

Great Game! Simple yet fun. It would be cool if there were more levels.

It was a really funny game! I personally LOVE tetris, so it was nice with something similar yet different. Real bummer it only had 1 level. Also could you try rating my game 2? I would also very much appreciate feedback.

Really cool concept for a puzzle game! The game looks great, it's super polished! I like the gameplay and it's fun to try and get a lower total move score when playing again. Would've totally kept playing if there were more levels and stuff added. Great work on this!

Submitted

Really well presented, and a nice little puzzle - nice job!

Submitted

We very cool game. At the start I was kinda confused. But it felt rewarding figuring it out. Also good explanations in game. Good work :)

Submitted

Nice and very polished experience. The music and sound effects were perfect for this game. Also liked the graphics, they both seemed to compliment each other.

Developer

Thanks so much for the review!  I'm happy to hear the audio and graphics worked well together!

Submitted

A very polished game. I liked it. Congrats!

Developer

Thank you for the review!

A nice game! I had fun playing it and completed it in 21 moves (don't know if it's good :D).  Good job!

Developer(+1)

21 moves is great!  I think the lowest you can beat it in is 12 with a little bit of luck

Glad you thought it was cool

Cool entry! Took a few tries for me to solve it but I very much enjoyed the process. Great work!

Developer

Thanks so much!

I really like that. Could see myself playing that as a mobile game, or even an expanded version with more different shape boards. The only recommendation is a better contrast of colors. I had a hard time seeing the blue blocks on the background. Maybe some sort of contrast mode. but it didn't really detract from the game. Great work

Developer

Really appreciate the feedback.  I was curious if people could see the colors well with the background.  Or how it might look for people who are color blind.  After the game jam is over will definitely go back through and adjust colors.  

Submitted

It's a cool idea. I couldn't solve it, but it was pretty enjoyable. I guess it's a ok take on the theme too.

Developer

I'm glad you liked the idea!

Submitted

Broke my brain a bit but very interesting idea! Nicely done!

Developer

Thanks so much for the review!  Am glad you liked it

Submitted

It's not a bad concept, but I'm too dumb for such spatial puzzles :3

Developer

I'm glad you thought it wasn't a bad concept thanks for the review!

Submitted

Fun puzzle. Needed a retry or two until getting the rules down.

Developer

Thanks for the review!  Yeah after having a few people play the game, the rules should have been explained a bit better
