Thanks so much for playing! I've spent a lot of 2022 and 2023 learning easy ways to add polish to games, so I'm proud that I can fit some niceties in such a short game jam. 💎
I had a good amount of difficulty coming up with a doable concept using the cards. In general, I make a lot of menu-based games, so I totally would have gone all out on a full-fledged card game, but I can't do that in three hours lol. I would have liked to incorporate the cards more into this design, but I spent an awful lot of time just tinkering on the base Tetris mechanics.
I thought that it might confuse people when the piece is a different color than what's on the card, but I was running out of time and was too afraid to put a dynamic piece on the card because I thought it would mess up the piece tracking I was doing. So instead, I just took screenshots of the pieces and put that on the cards. In hindsight, it would have been smarter to make the pieces stick to one color if I was using screenshots like that. It's better to avoid confusion than to be fancy! I plan to add matching card/piece colors to a post-jam version of the game.
