Very cool! I like this game a lot actually. It's hard, I haven't won yet, but I'm still very much enjoying it. It blew my mind when I could rotate the whole board haha

Wow! That's a clever puzzle game, not just yet another tetris with a twist! The graphics looks good except for the win/lose text. But sometimes I don't know the size of a next piece is not what I expected.

Wow! A lot of people take the mechanics of Tetris, but you really managed to take it to the next level. Great take on the theme. It's very minimalistic in a good way, very hard but also addictive.

Yeah boi. nice game. nice mechanics, totally missed the fact the pieces sink others. for a moment i imagined they will disappear when you fill a line. other than that, great f* game.

This is the first Ludum Dare game I've played that made me want to keep playing. Polish it and make a mobile app. Serious.

Interesting puzzle game. I won once, but I haven't figured out a good strategy yet. One thing that bugs me is that the last piece will occasionally be impossible to put in the board, for example the S tetromino (unless I'm misunderstanding something).

Awesome concept, good execution! The 7x7 & up boards are a litttleee too tough to get exactly perfect, if there was a mechanic (such as tetris) that gave the user some kind of power like storing a piece for later use and can swap it out, that would make the gameplay a lot better (and its already good!)

Music and SFX is my only other gripe. Great job!

@randytayler thanks! I was also thinking about finishing it and releasing on mobile, the concept turned out kinda catchy

@mao yeah, I didn't implement any logic to make sure that level even possible to complete, that task is not very easy, but I will do that for sure if I keep working on the game

@william-corrin when I was playing I alson noticed a need to swap pieces or store one, so will think about that definitely :)

Graphics leave much to be desired, but I love puzzle games, and I think this was the most fun game I've played this jam. Excellent work.
