I lasted for a bit over two minutes before I gave up.\r<br\/>The pause function allows you to reshape a little too much, which, if someone were willing, would allow a player to survive for a really long time just by shifting stuff around a lot.\r<br\/>I might recommend that it be a short-term pause, so you can't reorganize everything. Would make the game really interesting and intense. (Well, more so.)\r<br\/>Very well done!"},{"author_name":"manabreak","author_uid":"11177","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 3:12am","epoch":1460948820,"text":"Pretty cool idea!

TOUGH but great!  (Although I just realized I didn't end up doing much rearranging.)  I did find that the #2 pieces let junk through, so that's clearly useful.

The money and timer was a nice touch.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My only suggestion; the single blocks are clearly tactically superior yet they cost the least. I get th You should flip this. Unless I'm really misunderstanding something, the 25$ pieces are 100% the way to go. UNLESS the pay off you get when the timer ticks down is a multiplier of the more complex pieces. Maybe I'm missing something but my best runs were a few big blocks in the middle and then pretty much all single blocks."},{"author_name":"kestrelgames","author_uid":"92262","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 4:06am","epoch":1461124860,"text":"tetris in space?!
