Thank you for reminding me of my childhood times! What a great puzzle! Struggled a little bit with the apartment layout, but I started getting better at the game after doing smol levels inside the main level. Chill game, just as advertised :)

Had feelings of nostalgia the whole time. There is something so familiar with your game. It had some difficult places (apartment) etc.? Really great entry!

Nice simple game with familiar concept, but I like how you made it special with themeing around the house stuff and with those internal mini games inside the main game. Soundtrack for some reason gave me early Dr Dre vibes XD.

My main suggestion I this is to work on juice and feedback, like make placing tiles more satisfying, with snapping, clicks and visual effects.
Well done!

The game is chill and fun. The beats are certainly fun. THEY MADE ME WANNA FREESTYLE (_I don't do that_). Just great. Thanks to the devs.

Very chill game, the music helps keep the mood calm even if you're struggling with the puzzles. The mini games were also a nice touch :smile:

Thank you @its-capp and congrats, you beat the game, you're now a true master! :smile:

Ho wahou @corporation Dr Dre was not realy our main music style idea but why not xD
Thank you for your nice comment, happy you liked our game :smile:
I agree with you about making our games more juicy next time. I'm not very good in this aspect, i will try to improve myself !

Happy you liked the mood of our game @iron-head :smile: Let's go making a freestyle about pentominos! :laughing:
Thank you for your kind comment.

Thank you @joesturge :smile: I'm happy you appreciate mini games and i hope you beat it all ! :wink:

We heard you like limited spaces so we put limited spaces inside your limited spaces! Nice chill game experience. Everything seems to work as advertised and putting sublevels within the levels helps to set it apart from other organization games. Nice work.

Nice relaxing music, and the graphics are really cute - especially the animations when you complete a level!
I managed to fully complete the apartment and all the mini levels within it, but I found the level afterwards was just way too hard. It became trial-and error rather than puzzle - so even though I tried really hard, I had to give up before completing it, I retried so many different combos on the freezer. Maybe some more hints (or just smaller levels) would have made it more achievable, because I really enjoyed the first one, it was chill :smile:

Hello @ciaranw and thank you for your precious feedback! :smile:

Unfortunately, we do not have enought time to make more than 2 main levels so we tried to make the second one a little bit more complecated. Obviously, we forget "a little bit" during integration :laughing: Sorry for that ^^'

But we are happy to know that you enjoyed our game and saw the little details insides like animation or main level sprite replacement after mini-game completion.

Thank you for playing and you nice comment ! :heart:

I loved the calming music the game has, it really makes you want to fall asleep listening to it, the transition from the main menu to the game was also really interesting and cool, you never really see blocky transitions like that but it fit so well with the game, it's such a simple concept of tetris themed but it was also really well made. Good job!

Thank you @congeesetador for your nice comment :smile:
I'm happy to know you likes our game and chilled on it :heart:

At first, the transition was made by colorfull blocks but i didn't really like it. So finaly, i prefered remake it with simple black blocks :smile:

On a Mac I'm getting the message "The contents of "Pentomaniac.exe" cannot be extracted with the Unarchiver." Any suggestions?

This is a very relaxing game, I really liked it, but i think I found a bug because I can't remove the toothpaste once I place it for some reason. Other than that this was an amazing game!

Hello @johnsensei :smile: Hmmm I'm not a specialist in Mac but is it possible the ".zip" file type cause some troubles ? Can you extract files ?

Thank you @bluedandelion for your comment :smile: Sorry for the toothpaste bug, that's strange :hushed:

Thanks @kiyoshi for your nice comment, i'm happy you enjoyed the game :smile:

Thank you @fabula-rasa ! I'm happy to know that the atmosphere i wanted to create worked with you :smile:

This is such a fun idea! I love the clever ways the items are shaped to make the puzzles more challenging, and how each micro level is themed around a piece of furniture in the larger house. It comes together to form a satisfying and relaxing game imo. I did run into one bug where I couldn't remove an item of furniture in the house, but other than that it was a lot of fun! Great work!
