Really cute. Game play feels really good.

Developer

Glad to hear it! Thanks for giving it a look :)

Developer

cuuuuute!  I really like the "melting" mechanic, it definitely adds an interesting tweak to the formula.  Like others I was surprised at the mouse controls, but it wasn't a big deal to get used to.  Overall, really great job!

You'll be surprised to learn I just pushed an update for keyboard/controller support :)  Glad you had fun with the game, thanks for playing!

Developer

Thanks again for checking it out :)

The aesthetic and UI are super well done and polished.

Swapping as they fall feels a little awkward at first, but you get used to it pretty quickly.  But by the end you're mostly dealing with the grounded pieces anyway.

Great fun, well done!


Developer

That's a great score! Thanks for playing, glad you had fun with it. I just pushed out an update that includes keyboard and controller support if that's more your thing :D

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!

I won't lie I recoiled a little bit at first when I saw the mouse controls, but once I let go of my biases, I was surprised at how charming and fun this was! The controls make sense, you can build a pretty good pace, and being able to act during clears helps mitigate any of the fear of the higher gravities. It was weirdly funny to pet the ice cream to prevent it from melting

Developer

[Developer here] Hi! I'm less familiar with these style of games and I didn't know what a big requirement keyboard/controller was for this genre 😅 I ran out of time to properly integrate those controls, but I definitely want to give it a try! I love the "pet the ice cream" so it doesn't melt haha

Developer

Thanks for playing! Give it a go with the revamped controls when you get a chance~

fun twist - you use a cursor to control the pieces as they fall

Developer(+1)

Ha! Is that not common? I honestly don't play many falling block games so I didn't know XD Keyboard/controller support is definitely something I have on my radar, though.

Developer

Yup, we're currently looking into it!

Love the art style and the gameplay is quite engaging. Polish is there too!

Thanks for giving it a shot :D

Thanks so much! This was my first time doing graphics for an indie game :o

I'm no stranger to the VGM scene, but this is something I've been looking to dip my toes into as a graphic designer for years~
