Spaceless by yilian
This is my entry for Ludum Dare 42, with the theme of "Running out of space".
The controls are A and D to move left and right, Space to Jump holding S to increase the speed of the falling blocks temporarily, in exchange for bonus points.
The game is over once you get crushed by a block or fall too far behind.
Have fun!

Other than that it is quite fun to play.
(and the movement was floaty)
There is not enough acceleration over time.
The game works well and starts fun but gets frustrating once you realize it's pure luck. Several time I saw blocks stacking in only 1 corner with no way to jump from the bottom to the top and losing without any way of getting out of there.
If you don't want to give control of the tetris blocks to the player, maybe you can force the pieces to spawn where the height is the lowest (at least 1 every 2 tiles maybe ?) that should rebalance the luck.
Still had fun trying to make my own luck there heh :p Nice job
