It's a really cool concept., and the graphics and music is nice. I believe this would also work really well on a touch screen/mobile device.

I'm personally not a fan of the timer. I think the game works really well on its own without it.

Developer

Yeah, I plan to remove the timer some day. Thanks for playing :)

This was a very cool tetris inspired puzzle game. I had fun with this.

Developer

Cheers!

Finally gave a full 5/5 ! Well done !
I was not sure about the timer until the last level, it felt like, on the first try it was always too hard to find the right path without some luck, and then it becomes too easy once you found the path. But with that negative feedback I understand how it is useful and the last level was nicely timed to fail a few times before the bingo ! Great work

Developer

Best comment ever!

Thanks a lot for playing and bingo :D

Yo, very cool game! I really liked it!

Developer

Yo, thanks for playing!

This is really fun! Wish the timer was slower and had some sort of indicator when you're about to end but otherwise it's great!

Developer(+1)

The timer does gradually change from green to red. Maybe I should have added a tick sound for the last few seconds
Cheers for playing!

Hi!
It's a pretty nice take on tetris. I really like puzzle games so this was great for me. I also like the tetris theme remix.
The timer was a bit too fast for the last level, it was almost impossible in start and had to restart a couple of times to get enough time to finish it.
oh and Bingo!

Developer

Glad you liked it :)
The last level is supposed to be similar to a boss level (a final challenge)
The better you do at the earlier levels, the shorter the time limit is in the later levels (creating a negative feedback loop)
oh and Well Done!

Submitted(+1)

Bingo :D  That was fun, though that last level was a bit of a challenge even after figuring out where you needed to go lol  I like challenges though so I definitely preesh  :)

Developer(+1)

Nicely done!
I couldn't let you finish on an easy level ;)
Cheers

I like the innovative concept. My only complain is that the timer is a little too fast.

Developer

I'm hearing that a lot about the timer. Next time I'll be sure to get others to playtest beforehand. Thanks for playing :)

Submitted(+1)

Very funny! Like the concept although the time limit is very challenging, gives me no time to think. Great work though!

Developer

Setting the time limit was hard to do; the more I tested the levels, the easier it got. So I may have been a little harsh with the time limit.

Anyway, thanks for playing!

The game was pretty and the sounds were nice. Interesting puzzles, but they were significantly easier to solve going backwards than forwards, since there tended to only be 1 possible way to go backwards. 

the timer felt a Bit out of place, eventually i just started figurING Out the solutions when the timer was out and then pressing reset and then just inputting the solution. 

Developer

Brilliant!
I always work backwards too when solving mazes :D
Negative feedback loop theme resulted in implementing the timer
Going forward, I'll consider removing it
Oh, and well done for making it this far ;D

Nice little Bingo!, this has potential for a casual (maybe mobile) game, and 9 levels in this short amount of time is quite impressive.

Developer

Nice one!

Nice suggestion, might try that

Wowzers great game!

The game in its current state is really good but I think a version with a bigger map and no timer would make for a really good puzzle game. Maybe also procedural generation? 

Great Job! Bingo:)

Developer

Thank you very much

If I do make a future build, I'll be sure to take your suggestions into account.
Procedural generation was on my todo list but it hurt my head just thinking about it. Maybe one day...

Also, well done ;)
