Cityblock by Ellian
Cityblock is a small 2 button puzzle game about growing a city!
Just move your city left and right to build new blocks.
There are three building types: Residential, Industrial, Commercial. Make sure to match adjacent buildings to maximize your points!
Don't leave any empty space... and start building your city!

i still would like to see a smoother scroll transition ;D but i can play even without that after practicing
thanks
While watching your progress on twitter I thought it would work better with some kind of rising skyscraper city. And earthquakes slowly destroy it if you miss blocks.
Wasn't entirely sure how the lives system works; do you lose lives for empty spaces? If so, that seems a bit out of the player's control, since the shapes are random and there's no "gravity".
It also felt like there was a lot of wasted space, the playable screen could easily have been taller, and the horizontal loop-around is just disorienting.
It is an interesting concept though, good work!
Putting that aside, the game was pretty nice, if maybe not the most original around here. Either way, good job. ^^
Also being able to scroll wrap around was a bit confusing - could I actually move the area getting judged that way?
I think I might've much preferred aiming for a mixed city including green patches (would require different kind of blocks being dealt).
I got the idea at the second time playing, and it was really cool to try to improve the score!
The graphics are totally awesome, like all of your arts!
