My arm hurts.\nMy new favourite from the Jam. I think its quite a genius game design.\nThe worst thing is definitely the movement: make it smooth or at least make it not instant, (like slow is probably even better). Right now the optimal style of play is to fkn kill your wrist tapping 15 times a second.\nAlso I think easy way to add depth would be to implement pushing of blocks by blocks. Then you can plan maybe how to complete tasks remotely and block shape becomes really important.\nI stopped by your page looking for your other work, but I guess you haven't heard of it.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1140187,"author_name":"Heiden.BZR","author_uid":"heiden-bzr","epoch":1744230093,"text":"The controls are awful, I was clicking way to much to just move, and rotating seemed just an obstacle. Controls must be rethought in general.\nIt was very much not obvious how do the new items appear, and it doesn't fit too much with the concept. \nAlso couldn't catch depth feeling at all.\nHowever, giving much time and thinking, this could become something interesting.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1140573,"author_name":"Talif Moor","author_uid":"talif-moor","epoch":1744234344,"text":"@heiden-bzr I do agree that the controls are a bit painful, I would like to add the use of a controller to the game, as I think it will be a bit more painless, rotating was intended to be an obstacle to give the game a bit more of a manic feeling. I might also have spent too much time playing DROD. I had planned the theme to be a bit more of a \"Dumpster Dive\" but as the game took shape, it moved away from that theme to what you see here.\n\n@oddmes Great Score! I do want to implement holding the button to move, which I think will definitely help everyone's arms. I hadn't really thought about shoving blocks to move other blocks, I may have to consider that for a later change. The biggest reason for not adding animations was that the timer is so strict anyways, taking the time for animation would slow the manic feel of the game. I may need to consider it, just to save folks some pain in the future.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1141284,"author_name":"LDJam user 259103","author_uid":"259103","epoch":1744248091,"text":"This is really solid! Even without audio or polished graphics, I had a lot of fun with this. I'm not very _good_ at it, but it didn't feel unfair to me. Some more feedback might be nice, as well as more clarification on how the scoring works. At a certain point (once the timer got very low), I started being quite generous with what I considered a \"match\", and almost everything seemed to at least give me a small amount of time. More of an in-game tutorial might be a nice thing to add post-jam. Good work on this, though!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1141306,"author_name":"JamesGames1000","author_uid":"jamesgames1000","epoch":1744248591,"text":"I got a score of 80!!!

I hit a hundred before my hand muscles told me to stop.\n\nYou're missing some basics like sound, but it kind of doesn't matter.  Or maybe it does and the game would have been just that much more intense.  But I loved the initial confusion, the OHHHH I SEE, and then the frantic ferrying, and of course best of all the GADDAMIT why did I do that to myself??!\n\nSmall scope that hits hard - that's the way to jam.

Though feels like you got to be fast and lucky to succeed, in other words highly dependent on how good blocks you are going to get.
