Nothing prepares you for this. I cheered, I shouted, I fist pumped the air, I cried, I stood and cheered. It's absolutely everything you hope it's going to be.

This is an amazing idea, and definitely has potential. I found it way too hard, but that might just be me. Good stuff tho!

I couldn't quite make it to the top, but I definitely enjoyed it! I liked the goofy artwork and trying to aim the pieces while platforming was enjoyable

I think it could be improved a bit if there was a fast drop option to make restarting a little more forgiving. I personally think it would be nice too if I could see the whole shape that's about to fall so I can plan for it, but I understand if not knowing is part of the design

Overall a solid game, nice work!

What an interesting idea, but I think you should specify what causes death. Overall great idea and fun gameplay.

I really loved the main character of this game, he is really super cute! I'm not really good at playing it, but it is beautiful!

Nice concept! I like the laid-back strategic thinking, as well as the art and music! :)

Love the character and art style! The wall jump works for me. I found it difficult to really move high in the game. sometimes the new block makes the rest of the level move in a way I wasn't expecting.

Really cool twist on the classic game of Tetris!

I loved the music. Especially the way the blocks beeping was sinced up with it. The dodge-the -tetris-god platforming gameplay was cool. But the bug where blocks sometimes went down farther then they should have was a bit bothersome. (Idk if that is the fabled 'browser version bug, but it did cause me to stop playing before I managed to finish the game') Overall very good game! Great music!

That was particularly a browser version issue, indeed! Thanks for checking out our game!

Thas was a challenge! I am not that good at that type of the games, but I really enjoyed the style and aesthetics :) The squirrel (I thought that it was a fox at first, oops..) is just adorable!

I looooved the art style! That buff Squirrel will live rent free in my mind palace for quite some time. I also thought the cut scene was so cute and creative!!! Game play was fun and tricky. Great work!!!! : )

Neat idea, I enjoy the concept of a random, procedural, and ever-changing obstacle course.
