Great spin on Tetris! Loved the sound tying into your inputs.

Very original, and the way you tied to audio into it makes it such a fun game to play

Great game. I also was trying to move with a rhythm of a song :)

The fact that Tetris made its way to 3 of this jam's games really goes to show how much of a classic it is.

Loved your take, especially with sounds on: at some point I was just pressing SPACE to hit those tunes XD

In the absence of a highscore system alleballe90 sent me this video of getting to lvl 16. Can anyone beat it?

I am so bad at this yet also very addicted! So fun and challenging. One of my favorites for sure

Holy it's a perfect thing

Am I the one who trying to make this in the song rhythm?

The idea and implementation are perfect, thanks for this!

Hard for me to use this key bindings, wish to adjust controls :)

When figure went to the wall: "Ohhh and this!" (in a good sense)

I genuinely got motion sick while playing it, but it's awesome! love the way the music is implemented, makes me wanna play more

Wow! This is soooo addictive! Easy to grasp, but controls might be mixing in my head all the time when my stress level rises :D But it has so many new opportunities because of rotation - you can rotate upside down and let the block fall a bit into a wrong "game", but then rotate again 180 degrees to have a little bit more time, because it has to fall down all this way again, so you have a time to rotate and position tetris block correctly. This is a Twist! Literally! Love it! And music notes are great! 🎶

playing music notes while moving is awesome. did you store each notes in game files or create at runtime?

Developer(+1)

I stored each note as a sound with names 1, 2, 3... And then I wrote the sequence in a table of indices that was used to lookup the next tone to play. Initially I though about using the speed factor in the sound component, but the theme only consists of 8 different notes.

Nice solution. With this feature, I can also feel the game gradually speeding up :D
