If you enjoy my game, please share your thoughts with me. Thank you for playing! See you next time!

:zap: Regarding the game content:

Unfortunately, I'm not very skilled at audio loading on the web version. But I did try to do it, and I'm not sure if it will play or not. I will solve this issue within the next few days.

I will continue to update it in the next few days, as I've had some new ideas since the release! Let's look forward to it together.

Sorry, but can not run your game. Trying to press "any button" - and nothing happens

@promzona :smile: Oh! Thank you so much for helping me discover this very serious issue! Now it's working properly!

Neat idea. I could see this as an epic arcade platformer, or having a versus mode where one player is the blocks and the other is the little guy.

This is an awesome little concept, very fun and works well :) Great music too, fits perfectly. Unfortunately I am too bad at it, and couldn't even get any score haha.

Could be fun as a two player game, one person trying to escape and the other trying to kill them?

@locksmitharmy It's said that there are some issues at the plumber's house next door. Let's go there next time!

@michael-macha This is indeed one of my ideas! I will find time to improve it. Thank you!

@mxbi Of course, it would be fun, and I indeed plan to do it. But I can't find any friends to play with me. :pensive:

Tried your game once again. Everything works super good.
Gameplay is quite unique - really liked this idea on avoiding blocks from tetris.
Music and is nice fit here too. Thanks for submission!

Couldn't tell if I was missing something with the score counter, but fun to just see how long you can keep going! Feels well put together, movement in particular feels really good. Seems like adding in a wall jump thing might be fun, but equally might shift the difficulty a bit. Would also have liked a bit of a clearer cooldown on the Super! ability.

Nitpicky things though - had a fun time playing this!

Great game,
I'm in a digital design school and we had the same idea for an asymmetrical multiplayer game where one plays tetris and the other has to avoid the blocks. I'm really happy to be able to see a game that looks like it, since we didn't choose this project in the end.
Very nice work and the fact of controlling the 2 gameplays adds a crazy strategic dimension for the player.
really impressed.

wait are you telling i need to be good both in tetris and platform jumping? hahaha this a seriously good idea. my brain doesn't follow my hands or the opposite i don't know, but this game looks very hard to master!

Absolutely love the concept. I suggest experimenting a bit more with the control buttons. Thanks for the work!

Thank you for playing and replying!
I do have the idea of creating a two person battle mode!
And there are also some other things that haven't been done yet, which would be more interesting if completed.
When using a block to delete rows:

![blocks3.png](///raw/440/e/z/63f0a.png) - Mist, only Dachi and the blocks have a little view, everything else will become dark and dark

![blocks1.png](///raw/440/e/z/63f0b.png) - Water, the venue will be filled with water, and there will be resistance to Dachi's movement

![blocks4.png](///raw/440/e/z/63f0c.png) - Spikes, randomly generate several spikes on the ground

![blocks2.png](///raw/440/e/z/63f0d.png) - Ice, the ground turns into ice, making it difficult to stop when moving

![blocks5.png](///raw/440/e/z/63f0e.png) - Wind, there will be wind blowing you in another direction

![blocks6.png](///raw/440/e/z/63f0f.png) - Flame, there will be a fire inside the venue! Dachi's movement speed has increased, making it difficult to control

![blocks7.png](///raw/440/e/z/63f10.png) - A prop, such as invincibility, penetration, flight, climbing walls, smashing falling blocks, etc

But unfortunately, my time is limited. And I also planned a hidden ending.
Finally, thank you again!

Fun game! Reminds me a lot of my submission for Ludum Dare 54, [Pixel Piles](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/pixel-piles). Overall it's very fun, and the movement feels nice. Good job!

Dachi did it, he finally escaped:

Now he can be free of from his eternal torment

Also, a strange discovery: it seems that the arrow keys can move tetris blocks independently from Dachi after they flash and "lock" right before falling. I figure this is unintentional, since WASD + Arrow keys + JKL isn't a very hand-friendly layout of controls.

I found (relatively) good success by hunkering down in a little box I built in the bottom, then playing tetris normally (more or less) with the remaining space. No piece hold, randomized pieces, and no (or almost no) wiggle room to tuck pieces under overhangs is still pretty tricky for me, though :laughing:

It's a fun concept to see put into a game. Playing it was very difficult for me until I figured out my "advanced" strategy, but I figure that difficulty's the point. Nice work!

@doctor-zeus
Thank you for playing so seriously!
I did set the platform for scores and the next one!
The marker in the picture is actually another ending I set, but I didn't implement it due to time constraints. It is the door to the real world, and then the game officially ends.

Also, you guessed correctly. The arrow keys were moved to test the two player mode, but I forgot to turn them off.

This...is pretty awesome. It's such a simple but incredibly effective concept, and surprisingly hard (almost feels like I'm trying to shave and brush my teeth simultaneously).

An extremely awesome game! Two familiar mechanisms combine to create a new and refreshing gaming experience, which deserves a 5-star innovation rating! BTW this little character always reminds me of Big G in the cartoon Doraemon hahaha

I like how you made this "Tetris with a twist" and how this coincide with the summonging theme lol! The only thing I wanna complain is the tricky input I need to handle with and it occurs to me a lot that I trap my self between Tetris piece and I can't move at all lol, but overall this is a solid entry!

Very clever and challenging! And cool to see an entry with no wizards OR demons - top marks for that!

Clever twist on Tetris! Simple idea that is executed pretty well. Surprisingly challenging too! Congratulations on finishing a game solo too, that takes effort. Overall, well done!
