The games base idea is really meh. Tetras is cool. fast moving side scrollers (jet pack joy ride) are fun. Combining the 2 is really meh. Great visuals tho.

Theme interpretation
Biketris is hybrid of a block-stacking puzzle and endless runner.
Comments
Amazing theme interpretation! The music was simple but conveyed the perfect vibe while playing this game. Simple and intuitive controls. The only thing is that I was slightly disappointed at first that I could not place the tetris blocks underneath other blocks, but after a few rounds I felt that it makes more sense because of the pace that the game scrolls and this no longer remained an issue. Overall, a great concept AND a great execution. Nice job!

MachinariaI hope your game wins :)
I think it's the best match for the theme and has some solid gameplay.

Caveman JamOh wow. There's some tough competition and some very good entries this year, so I don't think Biktris has a chance, but I'm glad someone believes it hit the spot and positive comments like this is very welcome and what keep me poking in indie gamedev field!
Thank you for playing, and I'm happy you enjoyed it! :)
Awesome and really well executed concept. Loved the idea and it works so good. I get overwhelmed pretty fast but it's such a cool concept! Definitely one of my favorites.
It'd be awesome if you also tried our game:

GRIMCURSEAh, glad you liked it!
Yeah, other than art which I just find hard to do on acceptable level, it was second hardest part for this entry, to figure out how the difficulty level should work. As it's jam game, I wanted it to make it short and fast play sessions, so it doesn't get too boring, as there's no other game mechanics in there, like unlockables or boosters.
It makes me happy to hear that enjoyed it that much, I have to say I've kept my eye on yours as it looks cool as F, and it's even more awesome it's now playable in browser, I was putting off playing it until I got time to download bunch of games in one go, but will get on reviewing it now :)
Again, thanks for playing!
