I really really like the graphics, very cute. The music and sfx are great too. Gameplay was easy to understand as well. Overall, just a very good and polished game that you should feel proud of :)

This is an incredibly well polished entry! You've got a good balance of gameplay and I think you did a great job overall with this.

This is such a great concept, I really loved it. The art is great. I had some problems with controls though. It would be great to have arrow keys as an alternative to QSZD as they have more consistent layout around the world.

Cool game, just like in Tetris, only in 3D. By the way, you can add a timer to complicate the gameplay

Fun game I could definitely see this being a full release with some tweaking. I really liked the overall vibe of the game and the mechanic was interesting I found it a good amount of challenging I feel like expanding the base of the platform would add alot of variety to the gameplay but I love the choices of items given. I was starting to get a feel on how to use each kind of item so it had a great learning curve. One thing is that I didnt notice for a bit the lives I guess you could call them on the left side of the screen so maybe a bit more feedback to let the play know what they are would be good. But overall great game and great job on it!

Hilarious! But it's difficult to properly place blocks because one is getting into another and jumps out

we may have a winner. placement is a little tricky and i wish you could rotate in more than one axis but I get it... it's a jam

Haha this is awesome! I love the cute aesthetic, and the 3D Tetris gameplay with physics is such a simple yet effective idea. To be honest the highlight for me was the music, I would absolutely listen to that while working. Excellent work! :smile:

Great job here, and congrats to @patafoin on your first LD entry! I was confused by the controls until I remembered that AZERTY layout keyboards are a thing. My camera movement was slow and clunky as a result, but didn't make the game any less fun. The sound effects for placing a block were great! Did you guys make the music yourselves?

I love the Japanese style background song. Interesting game. The keyboard controlling takes some time to get used to.

@mhorth no it's a royalty free music made by SHIWV-TEARIFFIC to which we added the words "jengadesu" and "HAHAHA"", thx for feedbacks. I'm glad you liked it.

A simple and funny little game. Well done.

I really liked this one. A really simple idea that 100% reminded me of Katamari with the music and style. The background music was perfect for this and the randomness of the game made it nice and replayable. My only gripe was that years of PC gaming conditioned me to use WASD to move and not QZSD, but that's nothing a few attempts couldn't fix in my brain. Well done ^^

Absolutely amazing. The idea is simple but seems difficult to implement without being frustrating. The physics here is spot on and pretty forgiving. That and the funny pieces and music make for a great game.

nice concept, could use some more polishing. (and oh my french friends, you always have the weirdest keys!) Fun thing, though

Very fun minimalitic game!
Super cool concept of building

From cons I'd picked out not always clear zooming & snapping, so it's sometimes hard to see the "whole picture".

But still, it's super fun! Audio is great too!
