A really fantastic and well scoped game jam. I hope to see more in the future.

Very cool idea. Fun game concept!

I thought this was a really cool concept, really well executed! Nice job. I especially liked how intiuitive the controls felt, depsite being quite unconventional.

Note: I played on Linux using WINE. No apparent issues.

Gameplay

A good game idea, but some execution issues... first, thank you for including the controls list in the game - I've played too many games where I had to figure out the controls :p However, it often feels like there are physics glitches while playing, like you can get stuck between blocks and compress them together weirdly. Also, only 2 levels? I think it would have been pretty easy to add more, and probably adding some levels that make use of other pieces than the standard long bar would have been cool.

Graphics

Half of it is pretty good, the other half is really not detailed.. the black background would be okay if the game didn't have an outdoors aesthetic, and least make it sky blue or something. For the Tetris part, it would have been nice to use the good old Tetris colors / block textures, and also make sure it's not filtered so pixel art doesn't get blurry when upscaled.

Innovation

IMO this is where this game shines. There's a real potential for interesting gameplay here, and I'm interested to see what it could become.

Theme interpretation

I get the leaps.. but bounds? Besides trapping yourself with pieces, I don't see it

Developer

Thanks for the in-depth review! We're using your feedback to improve on our game!

This game actually made me scream, so good job. The second level actually needed some skill and strategy, so good job cuz of the awesome game design. But only 2 levels? The art is pretty cool and the block creation mechanic made this game really strategy oriented. But the lack of music didn't lower the gameplay quality for me. All and all this is an average entry, but it's one of my favourites gameplay-wise. Well done.

Thank you so much! I would like to create more levels in the future (once I'm free from school.)

This game was updated to address a major bug where the level would not end.
