i like the art and sound, it is fun, great job!
Thank you ! :)
What a nice job with all these visuals and sounds, colleague! :)
It looks like a ready project rather than the jam submission
Oh thank you so much !! :D
The whole lore, and vibe, with the art, the concepts, the voice actors, is all very well putted together! congratulations!
Thank you ! Glad you liked it ! :D
That's a very clever way to use the theme and the design references in a whole other context. It works very well and dubbing the game was probably the best idea, it had so much to the overall setup you chose to put your game in. A huge congrats! 🫡
Thank you ! Glad you liked it ! :D Indeed, the dubbing appeared to us as a necessity late into the development, we're so glad to have found the time to put it in ^^
Very clever usage of the Egyptian mythology with this gamejam theme!
All make sense: each "Tetris" piece being a memory, "bad" memories being pieces hard to place, losing memory when losing a piece, the balance "measuring" the weight of these memories... Very very smart!
A bit nitpicking, but it would be great to have more "pure gameplay indicators":
Anyway, very solid entry, well done!
Exactly! Bravo for getting the game narrative logic :) . We haven't though of the number of pieces left. It would bring more clarity, that's true. Thank you for the feedback!
I love the Egyptian theme and the voice acting! I would suggest making the audio a bit louder though, because for the first few minutes of playing, I didn’t even notice there were sounds 😅. I also think it would be nice to have some indication of how close we are to finishing a level. The gameplay works very well, and it’s very satisfying to balance these large towers. Nice game, keep it up!
Thank you for your review! We will increase the base sound in the future patches :). Glad you enjoyed the game!
Egyptian theme with Tetris and the sound effects made the game great and the graphic are also well made.
good job.
Thank you!
tetris meets tricky towers! I found it kind of hard to rebalance the scale once the balance tripped on one side, also, what is the meaning behind the different colored pieces? is it just for visual variety? even that one piece that chandes the color of the others? overall pretty nice game :D
Actually the pieces color reflects on the character's emotion regarding some event.
If it's yellow, the character is happy about them. If it's red, they are angry, et...
And the "bad actions" and the "good actions" they made had a special visual to highlight their uniqueness
Nice little game, reminds me a bit of tricky towers. I did feel at times that once the balance started tilting on one side, it was quite hard to get it back level again (or even tilting it on the other side), but overall solid entry.
Thank you!
The physics can be a little bit tricky sometimes haha, but glad you liked it
good game :)
Thanks :)
It blends Tetris with storytelling in a truly innovative way - a fresh take on game design!
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed the stories :)
Love the ancient Egyptian theme, really unique!
good job!
Thank you! Anubis' trial is a real mythological story by the way ^_^
Artstyle and VA work are great, and the special pieces keep things fresh. I saw someone already mentioned collision sounds but other than that I think it's fantastic. God bless :)
thank you 🙏
Good visuals, and the gameplay works great. Nice job!
Thank you ! :)
really like the overall vibe of of the game with the music and artstyle :)
Thank you ! Glad you liked it ! :
The art looks great and it's a unique spin on "Tetris with balance"
Thanks, glad you liked it :)
I loved the art style
Thank you ^_^
Very polished experience! The art and sounds are great (especially the voice acting). It would be nice if the actual falling objects made sound when they hit the scale/other objects, I think it would improve the experience even more. Great work!!
Thank you !
We missed time and kind of forgot also for the collision sounds ^^'
Glad you enjoyed it !
Really cool game! Love the visual style / general vibe – it’s really classy!
Audio actually sounds a little eerie when you listen to it for too long lol. I like it a lot, great job!
Thank you ^_^
cool game, I have a similar board game printed on a 3D printer
thanks !
