Ooh, this was very fun! I like how naturalistic the difficulty progression is.

Talk about an entry that is not just a clever interpretation of the theme but also finds a way to reinvent a gaming classic. I quite liked this. Well done!

Played with my brother and had a blast!

Pretty rad concept! Easy to grasp, difficult to master and super chill to play.

Great work! Just like its inspiration, it's easy enough to understand, but my brain is fried try to master it. I'll definitely be coming back to that one in the next few day!

Really interesting twist and concept! I liked how it changes the usual approach to Tetris.

Really cool idea! Love the music and visuals! It's pretty hard tho i died immediately. Or i just suck at tetris.

Awesome game! It clicked what I was supposed to do when the board started to fill up.

Making a game about playing against yourself seems like a hard idea, and you definitely pulled it off!

I really loved this.  Super awesome!

Really cool idea. I enjoyed playing with myself!

Cool game. You found a really nice idea to avoid the "boring side of playing chess against yourself", good job ! My best score is 275, it gets very tricky at a certain point. Does the "Move Until Swap" keeps increasing indefinitely ?

Developer

Thanks! And yes it increases by 2 each round to make it get harder each round, but I think there could be more tuning to do since there's a pretty firm wall at around 300 points.

Great game. It was very easy to learn and was very interesting. I like the art and the contrast between lava and water is nice.  I think that too much information was introduced at once in the beginning. I like that the music changes when side switches, and the music itself is also very nice. It was great to play this relaxing game. Good job!

Thank you! I agree a better tutorial would make things smoother. Thanks for stopping by the page!

really interesting idea that took a bit to understand, but once i started getting the hang of it it was fun. i think the game works pretty well both as a singleplayer and as a multiplayer!!
great music and cute design too!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I definitely should have made a more streamlined tutorial. I appreciate the feedback (also my first time making music for a game so I'm pretty happy with it).

This is so cool and relaxing! Please put it on the PlayStore! This game has a lot of potential ^^

Edit: Okay I guess the rotation part would be hard for mobile but I really love this game haha

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I noticed that I can actually play it through the browser on my Android phone, but like you said rotations don't work. I can probably get them working though!
