Played until level 2, and perhaps i found a bug, purple blocks seemed impossible to lift :C
Great job!
The graphics are cute, both the sprites and the title card for the game are really well done and set the mood right away with just a single look.
Nice take on the Tetris theme for the soundtrack, it completes the mood in a pretty nice way, the sound fx are also nicely handled and balanced within the game.
Controls are pretty much solid and responsive, and gameplay is pretty smooth, though sometimes I had (very few) issues placing/lifting blocks.
One point I think that would improve the game and, also, make it a bit more accessible is a colorblind mode or colorblind-friendly sprites. I'm not fully colorblind, but I have some issues with color and sometimes light green and yellow tones, for example, become a bit hard to distinguish.
Overall, brilliant idea! :) Cheers!
Liked it~
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
one minor issue: for me it would have been easier if the blocks are place relative to the block i carry and not relative to the player who often is "one block off".
