I enjoyed it! Simple and effective, even if I found the controls to be a little unintuitive personally.​

A take on the match three genre I haven't seen before. The controls felt okay, but somewhat clunky at times. That might just have been me having trouble with the rotations though!

The coming in of the sides felt somewhat random, your guide does a good job explaining the game but perhaps a little detail on when exactly the sides come in?

Cool idea and pretty fun. Its a little bit annoying when the wall shrinks when a tile is still falling though. Other than that, great game. Good job!

This is a really good game, it's a bit like Tetris, but I really like the pressure of "running out of space" and getting rid of lots of shapes at once. :)

PROS:
+ Minimalistic and well made graphics.
+ Feels very good.
+ Somewhat addicting gameplay.
+ Good use of theme.

CONS:
- Unoriginal concept.
- The walls moved at an unforgiving pace.

7/10!

A slightly bit to fast for me and strange behavior when rotating at the edge, but altogether a nice game.

Graphics are very simple but gameplay is good. My personal preference is for a game to start slow if controls are a bit tricky. Mixed with audio and improved graphics will definitely help!! good luck

It's a nice blend of tetris and match three. Good job!

I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream. It was close to the end.

An innovative take on an old game! I liked the concept and that there were only 3 blocks. My only criticisms would be that the walls moved pretty fast and I would suggest you make the stack rotate in all four directions.

A bit buggy, but well made and fun nevertheless! :thumbsup:

@saoi-games thanks for playing the game sorry that it was a bit buggy the game is a lot more complex than I first thought it would be so I didn't have enough time to iron out the bugs, the down button helps you keep a quicker pace but I admit it gets hard fast so I would need to tweak some values.
