A very interesting twist to tetris, but I miss the ability to rotate blocks. If you could rotate blocks it would encourage the player to use all the blocks available. Still the gameplay was unique and made for interesting mechanics.\n\nThe graphics and music was very nice, it created a cool atmosphere. Because of the clear visuals the game was quite easy to understand after a while, though as others have said, it was somewhat overwhelming to be put into the game without some instructions or guidelines.\n\nOverall, cool and fun game.

And There really should have been a grid, with say a color gradient under the blocks to see where they would fall. I would say its starts a bit fast too, especially without drop position sign. and the blocks moving up make it overkill. That is a good feature, but I feel it should come after no shooting for too long; work as an incentive to shoot. What can I say, great idea, full of potential a bit held back by its difficulty, but great nonetheless.\n\nGood graphics, mucsic, concept: Great job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"alferbayter","author_uid":"1078134","time":"2018-04-30T19:09:01Z","epoch":1525115341,"modified":1525115341,"text":"Audio fits the game really well.

The sound design is great and the placing of the pieces is super satisfying. \n\nJust a few critiques here:\n\n- I'd love to be able to right click on a piece to rotate it, and left click on it to shoot it.\n- This might make it too easy, but I think it might be neat to see a beam of light that shoots straight down to the bottom of the level when you hover over a piece so that you get a better idea of how it lines up.\n- Along the same lines, it would be cool if the piece you are currently hovering over turned white or had some indicator that you were on it.\n- Would be nice to have all the text on the bottom fade away after the game starts. It was a little distracting.\n- I think the piece coming in from both sides is totally fine, and an awesome mechanic, but I think they should each have their own dedicated row so that they don't overlap.\n\nThis submission is so cool. I'm jealous of your idea of this hybrid style.
