The concept is easy to understand, controls are simple and work well (I had an easier time on controller), and the overall polish of the game is super impressive for a compo game. Combos are super satysfying!
I want to go back to it to try and improve my score! Current best is around 105k.
Great job!
OK, let me try to write it again. :D
I like the aesthetics of the game: from its visuals to the way it sounds.
The graphics are simple, but special effects make it juicy enough.
These "combo" texts add to a retro feel.
The fact that I can configure the sound levels is also nice.
I hope I did get the mechanics right.
Looks and feels like a 4-way tetris.
One issue I had is the game freezing after pressing the start button.
Refreshing the page and starting the game anew fixes that.
Extra points for making it run in the browser. :)
All in all, this game is quite polished for a compo entry!
Also, thank you for playing my game. :3
A lot was left to luck and the button mapping didnt quite work for me on a keyboard, but was fun
Nice graphics and audio
Great submission
Very fun and well made. I couldn't quite get my head around using the rotate function. As I found it hard to see all possibilities during the stressful tempo. Maybe a slightly easier mode to get a bit of a hang on the controls could've be nice?
Excellent work !
My lazy brain had trouble finding the indication on how to play at first.
The game is fun even though i am very slow!
