Also, I enjoy the end screen with my score, even if it is not hooked up to anything it is a nice touch! A downside, however, is that due to the complexity of the rules being explained solely in the webpage, I couldn't tell if something not going how I intended was a bug or if I was doing something wrong (I am referring specifically to my inability to use the destroy tile option on any of my pieces in order to extinguish a fire).

Combining a resource management game with something like tetris has so much potential. My biggest problem with this game, however, is that I could not for the life of me figure out how to destroy blocks. Like, something would be on fire or be diseased, and I couldn't get rid of it.\nStill though, having each piece be a different type of building that I have to allocate people to is an awesome idea.

A tetris combined with resource management\/colony building is a unique concept and quite enjoyable. I found that the autofill tends to split workers evenly between mining and farming which lots of times makes you immediately lose due to low food, so I had to manually appoint lots of farmers, and then when I have a big food supply I toggle the autofill and it works well.\n\nVery cool and fun stuff overall.

An iteration on a timeless classic like tetris is always challenging, and it is a genre I never expected to mesh with it. The idea is very very creative needless to say, it felt a bit hard to balance the resources and the pieces at the same time.

It feels like the start of something really unique, but didn't quite gel for me - I like the idea of trying to balance what buildings are in my play field, but at some point I ended up just playing Tetris and ignoring the rest.  I'm actually not quite sure how I lost (play field was no where near full, was it just a timer somewhere?).  If things were a little more strategic, this could be perhaps more interesting - maybe would be interesting to simply *not* clear lines like Tetris, just use those mechanics to fill up your city, and the money\/food play in to how you clear space \/ just deal with events.
