How does your game match the theme?
This is a puzzle game which tries to capture the theme of tetris, since both are based on managing space to fit tile based shapes on a grid.
You should manage the space to match pentominoes to form larger squares. With strategy you can make 5x5 squares to gain maximum score.

While rating the games for the jam, I set a timer with 10mins so I don't spend much time on each. This game made me forgot about the timer. Very adictive. Love it.

Room MakersI enjoyed it quite a bit. The music really sets a cool mood. I could see myself coming back to play this one.

Corrupted SignalPretty fun! I would love to play it on the original hardware! I think it would be great if you made a rom for the game boy!
Got 330 points!

Hair or BonesI like it! I sat through a whole play through that felt a little excessive. I think a smaller board would have made me contemplate my moves a little harder, the space requirement wasn't really an issue through the whole game, it felt more like racing the clock, which is good! I think constraining the space would have been a welcoming addition of stress, if you know what I mean ;)
Puzzle games are hard to nail down because they are super simple, but a bad puzzle simply won't do. I don't think this was one of those bad puzzles. Good job :D

The Legend Of UnityThanks for playing! and your feedback!
I wasn't actually trying to make it stressful. I wanted the players to pace their play through based on the music they play while moving, But after hearing everyone's comments i know that, if this is going to be a full release it's gotta contain different modes for different tastes!
Wow, what a beautiful game! The soundtrack + sound effects are lovely, and the palette is sublime. Great work!

MoonstruckA really well thought tetris rework :) I wish the grid was maybe a bit smaller to add to the challenge. Really love how inputs plays a song!
Congrats

Cosmic Pulse - GBJam11Nice design work, I enjoyed the retro look to this and the sound effects was a nice touch. I also appreciate that there's a relaxation mode :D

Unknown Space: GBJam11 EditionReally enjoyed this - super simple to play but fun. The inclusion of a "relaxed" mode is inspired and I wish more jam games offered something like this as an alternative to a tutorial.
The use of the limited blue colour palette is a nice alternative to the usual monochrome green in this jam and suits the game.
Question - are the notes played when you move your cursor in the same key as the music?

Car-Go-SpaceWhile I enjoy games like Tetris, this game falls short in fun department, still the polish on this game is great so I can't really complain. 7/10 would play on an airplane.

Space GipsyA fun entry. I always liked Tetris and all the spinoffs that it led to (not that I was particularly good at it, mind).
Graphics are simple but clean. The sound effects somehow sound ethereal... I never got tired of listening to that lovely chime.
Although there is a clock, I never felt the same urgency as I do when playing Tetris. Not sure what can be done to ratchet up that tension. A shorter clock, which can only be satisfied by making 3x3 blocks faster?

Dagger's Last TestamentThanks for the comment!
I actually tweaked the time a lot. And because the main goal of the game is to make 5x5 blocks (like clearing 4lines in tetris). My friends which tested the game didn't like shorter time, so i stuck with 5mins. But later if i do a full game out of this i would give the option to choose the time.
P.S. Sure it's like tetris but i doesn't try to mimick it's sense of urgency, instead i'm encouraging players to move in a rhythmic pace, so urgency won't help that!
I couldn't tell if the movement sound synched to the music, or was just in the same key, but either way, it sounded great and immersive
