Pretty challenging game. Idea of connecting tetris pieces with roads in them is very cool and nicely executed. Medium difficulty was a bit too hard, I wanted to play with it longer, but on medium I frequently got into situations where I could only wait for the game over. Pieces getting stuck on roundabouts that I didn't see are what is making it hard for me.

I am so bad at Tetris like, so for me is super hard. But its a neat idea to be worked on

What a great twist on Tetris! Was quite tough but that just made it more satisfying when I did connect pieces. I would really love to see an endless mode, or a longer mode, think it would be be quite chill getting into the zone and playing longer sessions.

It's a really cool mechanic and I would love to see it used in a driving game or something as a way to randomly generate tracks.

I love the different approach to Tetris! You give the old game concept another dimension with pieces that connect roads. Creative and I like Tetris so I had fun. Great job guys!

An interesting take on Tetris! I agree that getting stuck on the roundabouts is tough.

Wow, I never thought I'd see Tetris crossed with Pipe Dream. It's a really cool concept. It seems rather hard at first but it gets easier once you get used to playing.

The objective blocks get in the way of placing pieces, I think it would be better if the pieces would pass right through them.

Didn't get the idea, but the tetris idea seems nice.
