It was definitely the strangest match-three game I think I've played. It could have used a bit more refinement on the gameplay, the movement was a little clunky to line up with the tiles and there seemed to me something triggering sound effects that I couldn't see. The sound effects were good though, and the music was a perfect fit."},{"author_name":"pjimmy","author_uid":"40339","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 9:26pm","epoch":1418505660,"text":"cool, love it, love the retro style, very creative tetris style game, well done"},{"author_name":"torcado194","author_uid":"5839","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 9:30pm","epoch":1418505900,"text":"pretty interesting. i loved the music, but the gameplay was pretty bland. good job though!"},{"author_name":"EthanWebster","author_uid":"38791","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 9:33pm","epoch":1418506080,"text":"I enjoyed the retro style graphics and sound.
