Way to slow for my taste... if there is a way to drop the blocks, I couldn´t figure it out.. also a little more polish wouldn´t hurt., othere then that good job
You got the main game play stuff in there, and it definitely does it's job. I would say a little bit more polish with some audio sfx and music could of really helped bring some more life to it! Also had a couple of bugs / glitches but its a Game Jam and things like this are a given. All in all good job!
As an avid tetris player I was quite excited to play a 'simple' block connecting game - and your idea of slowly increasing the shape size was a really good one! I was a little disappointed that they didn't go past size 4 though - pushing it to go to 5 or 6 would have made it much more different from tetris!
It is a little glitchy - blocks close to each other sometimes start constantly switching colours, blocks sometimes 'fall down' from their position into empty spots below and reaching the red line doesn't reset your shape size or score (although that one might be on purpose). I have recently made a match-3 type game of my own though, which uses a similar algorhitm to determine where your blocks are and if they make 'matches' or lines, so I know that it is more complicated to do perfectly than it may seem.
Next time, try putting in some background music (even if it isn't original music!), it takes very little time but elevates any game to the next level!
Yea the Score and Shape Size not reseting was a glitch but i just didn't have enough time to fix it.
The game was made in literally 2 days and it shows with the numerous glitchs in it. If i choose to start the game a day a few days earlier there wouldn't be any issues with it. That said i'm still happy with what i achieved in that amount of time and thank you for the big review you did :).
For only 2 days it's even more impressive! You could definitely work on it for another couple of days, pop in some fancier artwork and make it amazing!

This game could have a lot of potencial with an improved shape size system and more mechanics, and music and sound effects too.
Construct3 is a great tool, keep it up and good job for your first game jam
