Nice idea to mix Tetris with fight dungeon games :) I suck in Tetris, but I spend good time in your game to made it better. I love the retro style graphics and music. Good job

Submitted

Presentation is technically top-notch, but I had a hard time seeing what was going on on the right side while trying to puzzle on the left. Thanks for reminding me how bad I am at tetris.

Very well done overall, kind of reminds me of a DS game called Henry Hatsworth.

Interesting idea and a new take on Tetris, good job!

Submitted

Really cool game, unfortuntately I'm shit at tetris (╥﹏╥)

Submitted

A cool twist on a classic indeed. The art style looks neat. All fun and chill until that blue rapid attack guy shows up. 134 is the highest I could reach. It was an enjoyable gameplay.


Good game overall. Very nice work!

Hello there! Oh boy, was this game addicting haha. Very creative usage of the tetris as a health bar, even though I felt that most of the times my biggest menace was myself and not the monsters lol. Got a highscore of 86. Question: Is this game endless? I was unsure because I thought it wasn't when I read the description but that might have been just flavor text lol. 

I think there was a huge focus on the left part of the screen, which don't get me wrong, was super fun (I love tetris), and at some point I was kinda using the monsters to "save myself" because of a few bad movements. That got me thinking, though: Maybe this would work wonders as a Puyo game as well!

Anyway, I found this kinda combination very refreshing, this is a great entry, kudos!

yeah there's a set of predetermined monsters up to 14 and then its just random.

Really nice game, once I realized you can spam blocks down to give yourself more time to think it changed the gameplay quite a bit. I don't know if it was a bug or just me, but pressing A/D would occasionally move the piece two spaces over instead of one

Developer

the first thing was intentional, the rows are your health so making a tower is good if you need time to think. 

the second thing i debated about. Old school style where one press is one move or smoother new school hold it down to move style. I obviously went with the latter.

Most creative concept I've seen

At first it was easy, and then they ate all their health. The game balance is not very clear. It's interesting to play tetris, it's a pity I didn't have time to watch what the hero was doing. Thanks, very cool.

Developer

Each line is a point of damage that the hero can deal to a monster. Each time a monster is allowed to hit the hero it eats its damage in lines off of your tetris board

I loved the game, and the idea was executed well. I think a bit more focus on the fight may be useful, especially since there is useful info there, that is just hard to look towards.

Submitted

Great game! I love Tetris, and the blocks constantly destroying from the top-down adds a nice bit of challenge. I like having to place a large tower (but not too large) in order to survive. You need to place it in a good spot though. I could rant on and on. My only issue, as others have said, is that I did not have a need to pay attention to the right of the screen. Good job!

Submitted

nice game of tetris I would say the art looks great but well playing I was so focused on the tetris part that I didn't get to really pay attention to the battle part.  Even clearing lines at break neck speeds I was still unable to watch that side of the screen.  Not sure how to balance that either but good game any ways.
