Really like idea, when tetris blocks can make absolutely random way to the your goal. I don't use WASD and I think game can be more friendly without that mechanics. And last thing - camera.

Didn't realize that I had to place the blocks on top of other things first. The falling once you've failed lasts maybe longer than it should, because the goal is to go down, and when I lose I'm going down further, but then I die, so it doesn't feel quite right. Great art and sounds as well!

I liked the quick thinking I had to do to build the bridge out in front of the cat as it went. There were also some clever strategies involving trapping the cat to buy time, then using the the block break to free it. At first, I thought the block break would be over powered, but having limited uses balances it out and even made me try to avoid trapping the cat if I didn't absolutely need to. My only real complaint is that the camera moving up and down to track the cat occasionally made it difficult to place blocks. Oh, and the joke at the end was priceless. Overall, excellent entry. Great work!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":632144,"author_name":"blinkMachine","author_uid":"blinkmachine","epoch":1619474593,"text":"Clever.  I could totally see myself playing this for a bit.  Agree with Pseudohausen about the camera.  And stalling the cat by blocking the path felt a bit cheap.  Also there is a stalemate circumstance where you run our of pick axes and the cat is blocked.  Art was fantastic.  The voice that was there was a bit obnoxious though, especially at the beginning of the game.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":632181,"author_name":"SmelJey","author_uid":"smeljey","epoch":1619474780,"text":"Really interesting concept, but it took quite a while for me to get used to how I can place blocks.
