very creative!

Neat lil game. It’s good that it’s possible to make a 2x2 loop, and then everything else connected to it is also clear.

Submitted

Very interesting concept. I had fun working out the game mechanics and slowly getting better. As it is a new kind of game mechanic, I think it should be a bit easier at the beginning. Maybe have only 1 color in the first level, so that players get used to the loop mechanic, and add color combinations only on higher difficulty levels.

Submitted

It's a really clever concept but pretty bare-bones when it comes to graphics and audio, plus the loop detection is really finnicky so it's not very clear what counts as a loop.

I think requiring colors to touch, while very Tetris-like, just makes it even harder to make loops than it already is.

I found is just really hard to get a loop going, it definitely felt more like I was witing for it to gift me a 2x2 circle than anything more complex and the connections I'm just making to clear rather than clever setup on my part. 

Submitted

Good idea, but quite difficult to play.

Also, sometimes I made a loop (but it was not forming an actual circle) and the corresponding tiles did not disappear. I think this is a bite counter intuitive.

Really fun Tetris-like ! Even if at the end, I was trying to make cool looking forms rather making the block disappear...

The very simple pixel art fits the game

Submitted

Interesting idea, but it’s not always clear whether something is a loop. I recommend not making the colours overlap, so it’s clearer.

I think the idea is super cool and creative! my advice would be to make it more immediately recognizable where the connections of a block are by switching the artstyle so the colors don't overlap. The game gives me mini-metro vibes so maybe something like that?  if you do want to stick to the pixel art I would suggest making the borders a different shade, if you want you can use a site like coolors.co to get some good colors.

Despite the game being cut of, I got to play it because i realized i could drag out the html with developer tools and play it in another window. 

Here's the link for anybody that wants to play it for now!https://html-classic.itch.zone/html/14525561/index.html

However, you should still try fixing it. To do that you can go to the game, click 'edit game' on the top of your screen, scroll to the part that says 'Embed options' and mess with the settings till you get it right.

My Highscore is 44 for now :)

While this seems like such a cool concept for a Tetris-like, there's an issue with the web build for me where it's only showing a cropped-in version of the game frame :(

Submitted

Same thing on my side. The same very zoomed top left of the screen. Both on chromium-based browsers and safari.

Added fullscreen button now. Thanks for the issue reporting!

this looks like a really cool concept but only the upper left corner of the screen displays for me :(
