  • I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game as I got sucked into placing blocks and figuring out the puzzles. I would love for there to be more intricate puzzles and eventually one that might cover the majority of the screen as a way of challenging management of pieces. if there was also a punishment for using too many blocks to get a shape complete could be an interesting way of increasing the difficulty.

i did notice, if you build the at bottom it doesn't register the shape of the target shape.
