At one point the tetrominoes were floating in air without falling on the enemies (the crashed through the bottom layer). Is that by design?
Great concept. :smile:
@laylow no, we used the two boards to avoid the short size of the Tetris board. If we made a single longer board the lines would been too difficult to do, and with a single board, the game would be too easy. But it's true its confusing...
@fluffy @SecretPocketCat yes, that's by design. The blocks uses the "physics" of the original Tetris, that means they only fall if you make lines, but if a monster breaks a block, all the blocks over it will fall. I know it's a bit confusing, but we wanted to maintain the "no falling blocks" of the Tetris mechanics in order to force the player to make lines to clean the boards.
Thanks a lot again!!
Like the other says, cool art, the theme is well done respected, and very polish
For the negative point (subjective), the controls are not ergonomic, I think switch is on the space for a quick response to the situation and the rotation on a touch under the middle finger, it will more pleasant.
And maybe increase the speed of fall when you press down.
In any case really well done, great game
The art is incredible, and everything is so well executed.
I'm speechless.
The art style is excellent, controls are easy to understand.
At first, I thought "Ooh but this is a basic Tetris game..." And then I understand why you want to change board and the little enemies and it began to be so fun :D
Well done ! I'd like to have your feedbacks too if possible :)

Gameplay-wise, the idea is a great take on the theme, and the game was pretty fun. Keeping track of both sides is challenging (this is a plus for me!) but at times keeping both areas in track could get tricky. While controls were clearly detailed, I think I'm too conditioned from other Tetris variants to use the "up" key to rotate, which would have left the space bar to switch boards in a slightly more natural way. Despite this, the game was quite responsive and, as with art, it all was really solid all along.
And last, the audio does not qualify but the music choice was a great fit.
Impressive job, congrats to the team! :D

Your graphics are very cool and colored!. Good job!
Trobo a faltar poder girar les peces en l'altre direcció
Strong points:
-Perfect usage of the theme.
-Beautiful graphics.
-Innovative gameplay.
Suggestions to improve:
-It was pretty common to have a "tunnel" were the enemies could go through all my defenses. It would be really nice if the gravity worked on all blocks, maybe.
Well done!
You combinated both games very well, it works perfectly and it's easy to understand but fun and also challenging
The art is really good and cute, and the animations are very polished
It gets frustrating when you have a clear line in the bottom and you can't do anything to block the path, but apart from that is an amazing game! well done!
The art is amazing, the concept is original and you have a very good time playing it. Also it is really polished, one of the best entries.
Maybe you could use the Up Arrow for turning the tetriminos, that way the left hand only would have to reach the ctrl key. But is just a suggestion and other than that, it's perfect.
