Tetris Climber by Firewill

[raw]
made by Firewill for LD 39 (JAM)

Your tetris machine is losing its power, try to climb up into the clouds with just 100 tetris pieces. White and purple pieces are neutral, orange pieces are bouncy.

WebGL link going up shortly.

We ran into a couple of problems and ended up cutting a few mechanics. Will probably push a post-jam version with bugs ironed out, music, sound effects and a few more mechanics thrown in.

Hi ! I played the HTML5 version of your entry, I can walk around but I don't understand what to do exactly :sweat_smile:
Could you explain the controls ? Thanks !

I figured out the game after a few tries: You can pick up pieces with LMB and drop onto the big brown platform near the machine.

It's a pretty clever mechanic. The Tetris pieces imply a puzzle game element, but it's really more of a resource optimization and building mechanic, like in Minecraft. I never quite understood the rules for when pieces are allowed to be placed. They seemed inconsistent, so I assume there are some bugs there. This is one of the few LDJ games I've played where I was actually engaged and trying to beat the level, rather than only feeling like a reviewer trying to get through it. My best scores so far. Great job!
