Overall, great game! I enjoyed it :)
Getting the obvious out of the way, ADD MORE LEVELS. This was a super short and polished experience, and if you ever want to sell this commercially or something, it needs levels.
I think one of the problems that I had was that the levels felt too random to me, like I kinda just swiped randomly and it worked.
That's honestly about it.
The graphics were top notch, and so was the audio.
Great job! If this were a commercial game I would probably get it. It would be a great mobile game.
Also the cute bird eye blinking at you is great and a nice little bit of extra interest. Good job!
The gravity system is simple yet fun, and very easy to learn. With more levels, this can be a commercial (mobile?) game--probably with more mechanics besides the blocks? I never really used the Undo and Redo function, though--I just reset everything to the start if I mess up, haha!
Good work!
- It would be nice to have some juice at the end of the game, just a "you win" screen would be enough
- The controls were pretty good, but they felt (and looked) kind of optimised for mobile. I imagine the arrow keys could be replaced by directional swipes. In particular, having to use my mouse for level switching was a bit weird, would be nice to just press space or something.
