It's addictive enough to keep you playing for more than a few tries.\nThere seem to be some bugs thought:\n* you can get stuck in a 1-space location. The audios go crazy but you have to restart yourself.\n* when you move a part right when landing you will move the next part without standing on it.\n* when landing sometimes an additional space is taken somehow?\n\nA also feel that the physics could be tweaked to be less low-gravy. Especially in the beginning when you dont have a big pile of pieces on one side (that is how you play tetris, right?) you dont have much time to land on and navigate the pieces - it is then a tad frustrating to shortjump and fall almost as slow as the piece itself, robbing you time of additional jump-tries. \nAll that aside it is a fun game, it looks and feels incredibly clean in spite of the bugs and it is one of the first I have seen that truly went with the theme!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"BlazeDragon","author_uid":"1079931","time":"2018-04-24T22:43:22Z","epoch":1524609802,"modified":1524609802,"text":"@radow thank you for the feedback, yes...sadly I ran into all these bugs and spent a few hours trying to come up with solutions.

Perhaps it simply needs some tweaking -- currently, the main issue with the mechanic is that it's simply really difficult, as a player, to pull off.\n\nAdditionally, I encountered problems with the controls:\n- W should be supported for jumping, so I'm not switching between arrows and (Space)ASD.\n- There's no way to control the character jump height, which makes landing on a piece in time to be able to control it pretty difficult.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"arche-san","author_uid":"1092122","time":"2018-04-28T12:57:32Z","epoch":1524920252,"modified":1524920252,"text":"Like the idea and the concept.
