Very clever mechanic and I love the minimalist aesthetic + the room generation visual. It's neat how the spatial recognition aspect comes into play organically from how fast you're placing tiles in later levels.

my top score was 2078 :slight_smile:

Showing the room generation is such a nice spectacle. Game's a good twist on tetris :D

Are these Blokus pieces I see? :slight_smile:

This game is beautifully done; intuitive to play, feels great to place pieces. Great work.

Awesome! Very fun action puzzle game. Cool how it rewards you for packing things as tightly as possible. Difficulty speeds up fast, but I'm here for it.

This is a beautiful game that's super satisfying to play. I love the little animation when the blocks are clearing out the space.

Awesome work. Very proud of you 💖

A clean, very well done game. The concept is easy to pick up but hard to master-the perfect mix! I admittedly played through a couple of times (even though I was only able to achieve a 554, not my forte per say). Also, the audio of collecting the points is way too satisfying!

I love the clean look and an overall really complete submission. Really solid submission!

Love the art and sfx! I'm also doing a Tetris twist but really struggle to get a nice visual for my game, your game definitely inspires me on making the art simple and clear.

Really polished and super responsive. The overall look of the game is great. I love the overall minimalist black and white design but your choice of colours and when/where to use them was excellent. It just felt really fleshed out.

I'm going to check out your source code to see how you implemented the block placement because it's clearly better than the approach I used in our game.

Very nice game!

Didnt' realize at first I was just trying to race the clock. I'd love a zen mode where I just have infinite time trying to fit the most blocks into the space. Loved the sfx!

Good puzzle game reminiscent of the classic Tetris.

Polished, good looking, fits the theme, entertaining and addictive. A good idea well executed, good job!

How was this made by one person?! you gotta be so good at programming, level design AND at the same time art and sound design! I loved this. such a polished and finished experience!
I was too lazy to go grab a mouse but my high score on the touchpad was 544!

Nice tetris like game with at twist. Really enjoyed figuring out where to place the blocks but I couldn't make sense of when and why the count down is triggered? Well done on an otherwise very well polished game.

@cogcomp It's just a simple timer that gets faster on each level.

game feel and art is good. With some levels with predefined objects (like houses, cars) and blocks you could probably make a full game out of this.

The game is so satisfying! I love how the space is generated. The game fits the theme very well but unlike many where I feel like I always want to escape the limited space, it feels very good here! Very fun for a short playthrough!!

A creative reimagining of the Tetris mechanic. As far as I understand levels are generated randomly, and puzzle pieces with the condition of the possibility of installation. An interesting task for programming. Good job! I lacked only the juiciness of the details: add a little more volume and softness (like clouds) pieces, and change the black color to a warmer, it would be magical!
P.S. Very strange title, I wonder what it means?

Nice game ! simple but enjoyable, there must have been some hard work to make the left space detection run !
Cool entry and congrats !

A simple, but fun puzzle game. Very polished.

An issue I had was that it wasn't that responsive using the HTML 5 when trying to move the pieces. It worked absolutely fine using the Windows build though.

This game is super polished and I like the minimalistic style. I really like the level generation visuals too, and the sound effects of the score counting up when you clear a level feels really satisfying to hear. The gameplay is simple but it's also quite intense as you race against the timer. The only suggestion I have is a preview for the next piece to help out with planning. Fantastic game, I managed to get a score of 1654.

i love the visualization of the level gen/filling algorithm used, and the sounds are perfect. i dont mind the idea of a timer, but by the end, it was so fast that i wasnt even really thinking anymore and just spamming pieces as fast as possible. great game with a great aesthetic

Very nice, spent quite some time on this one :)
The controls and sounds feel awesome, and the algorithm seems to do a great job determining whether the game is over or not.
Nice entry overall. GG.

This game is beatiful and I'd love to see an expansion, perhaps with a more lenient timer system

Cool game, the time limit really adds to the stress. I'd like a mode where there's no limit and the player try to fit as many pieces on a big board as they can. Good work!
