The puzzles are fun but a bit confusing. It was the swamping game mechanic(when you press up) that confused me and it was often hard to tell what was happening. If I could give a suggestion I would interrelate the blocks to there changing positions if that is whats going on, like I said it was hard for me to understand. As for the music I thought it was a very enjoyable and the loop was long enough so that it didn't get old so Overall good job. I would love it if you could checkout my game.

My first thought would be you could reject at most 3 pieces in a row before you're forced to accept the next one.\n\nThe art's also pretty cute and pop-artsy.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"finalspace","author_uid":"1072158","time":"2018-04-25T05:37:25Z","epoch":1524634645,"modified":1524634645,"text":"Haha! you guys really love Puyo Puyo!

I particularly liked the music and the game itself was okay but a bit confusing. I played the four levels and repeated two of them again and I'm not sure what is required. What I understood was to accumulate the same color together but maybe it requires the shapes of the heads to be a certain way too. I'm not sure.\n\nThe game looks nice but to be honest I expected more content and features from such a big team. \n\nAlso, you obviously missed the genre, I don't know why :)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Weekend Panda","author_uid":"1074263","time":"2018-05-14T16:13:49Z","epoch":1526314429,"modified":1526314429,"text":"Nice job overall! Cute art and nice sound choices. I wasn't sure if there was a penalty for rejecting pieces, but there didn't seem to be, which means you can just reject them all until the perfect piece arrives, ha ha.
