Really interesting take on the tetris formula! I liked how every move was turned into a puzzle, rather than the twitchy, fast paced challenge normal tetris provides. Nice work!
I now genuinely wish cat Tetris was an actual thing. I would buy it. I do agree that a time constraint might help, but honestly, it was hard as is without it. I love the neon cats and how adorably they are drawn. So fun and made me laugh!
Cute visuals, interesting take on Tetris, but a bit unexciting without a time constraint. I was also a bit disappointed you couldn't move a piece sideways as it lands:
A few more tweaks and this would be really fun.
I found the gameplay to be a bit confusing and not as exciting as Tetris. I think the reason why Tetris is so successful is because you are forced to make a decision quickly and you know exactly where the blocks will be placed before it falls into place. This game forgoes the aspect of time constraints or the need for quick thinking in exchange for putting a grouping of blocks in an area all at once. It confused me as to how the blocks would end up on the main screen area as they needed to be arranged in a separate screen section before landing, and needed to be attached as one grouping. But I was able to figure out how to best play it relatively quickly, so it is an easy game to learn.
It took me a moment to figure out what all the different grids were, but once I did I had a lot of fun with this! Even with time to plan moves in advance this was a fun challenge to visualise how it would all fit together! My best was 30 lines cleared :) I also really liked the music - it really fit the theme of the game!
