great concept, vibe and overall fun. my only complaints are: it doesnt feel right to have some blocks suspended while the ones they were falling with were a different color (if they were all the same color, my mind could accept it :) ). and, 2, there is no fullscreen button :) 

still, lots of fun and a well-crafted submission. nice work!

The idea that filling a row pushes the entire board down that much was fun. I wish the burst block could destroy a wider area (or maybe I misunderstood how it works).

I enjoyed this! The music was chill, the color palette is easy on the eyes, and the variety of backgrounds was cool. I appreciated seeing some pieces from Tetris 2/Tetris Flash and Gussun Oyoyo in a new context. The balance of the game seems carefully considered and I appreciate that, even though I sometimes grit my teeth and scream out for an I piece that appears to be outside of the piece set.


Given how involved the game can be, it's kind of easy to forget about or even ignore the timer; I would've appreciated some juice to motivate the player to play faster when the clock is nearly running out: maybe even giving them more time for making impressive clears, like doubles?

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll probably do some balance passes and some extra graphical polish in the near future, and one of the things I'm looking at is how to handle the timer (or at the very least, have a more obvious signal when time is running out).
