While the time limit takes away from my enjoyment, i still can't fathom how did you come up with such a cool idea!
PS: Nice 808s ;)

Thank you for your feedback. The music was just thrown together in like 10 minutes, 2 hours before the deadline

Submitted

Liked the idea! It's a new take on tetris. I didn't get the time limit, would've been fun to mess around with it for more than a couple layers. But I liked the growing pieces. And thanks for the mobile controls <3

Developer

Thank you for playing the Game. The mobile controls weren't difficult to implement, so I thought why not.

Cool twist on Tetris! Do wish that there wasn’t a time limit, though. I’d play a lot more if the game went on until you topped out, as usual. Good job in any case.

Reminds me a bit of a ROM hack for NES Tetris called “Shrink Mode.” Worth checking out if you happen to be a fan of NES Tetris.

The Time Limit definitely is not one of the Strengths of the Game, which makes something like an Endless Mode worth implementing in the next Version of the Game. And thank you for the recommendation, it sounds awesome

Submitted

I enjoyed the game but it mostly just felt like regular tetris as I only ever got the scaled up blocks one time. I think changing the spawn rate of the unique versions of blocks would make this game more unique

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, I also noticed it too after playing it after the jam was over, so changing the spawn rate seems like a good idea

Submitted

Awesome, take on the theme and nice remix of the classic!The fact that you can play it on your phone is amazing.Nice job!

Developer

Thanks for playing and good to hear that the phone support is working

Submitted

Outside of the time limit I actually like this game lol I'm gonna keep it on my phone

Developer(+1)

I'm really glad to hear you like it this much. I might even add an Infinite Mode to it, or just balance the Time Limit after the Jam is over.

neat

Developer

Awesome

I like the idea of a new perspective on Tetris, but it seems like there’s a time constraint.

Developer

The Time limit is intentional, but definitely needs some balancing or reworking. An Infinite Mode as much suggested might had been something worth implementing. Thank you for playing and for the feedback.

Submitted

That's a clever way to make tetris a bit more exciting.

Developer

Thank you for your kind words and for playing the Game

Submitted

Very fun! Good job making it work on so many platforms. I just wish there was an infinite time mode, or at least that the timer was longer.

Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for your feedback. The Platform support was very Easy thanks to the Engine I used.
