Has a match panic feel to it, nice work! Also loved the camera shake you had as the block hit the ground!

Great submission keep up the good work!

I was at like 70 points and I had never let a block land on top of another. Naturally I was like "pffty, what twist? camera shake and lighting?" Then it happened. Cubes... cubes everywhere.
Simple and fun, great work.

Nice job. Fun little game you've got here.

Cool game needs audio
GAFBlizzard29 Apr 2013, 04:26
You might want to add a fast-drop button since impatient Tetris players might want it. :P
I didn't know there was any twist until I read the comments about stacking blocks -- three in a row seem to always vanish, so I wasn't sure if there was any reason to stack blocks on top of each other. Once I thought I saw a block bounce.

Great game, run 'Evolved', hold down, win...
Uhfgood29 Apr 2013, 04:44
hilarious, it gets crazy

Graham Weldon29 Apr 2013, 05:18
Nice work! The lighting is excellent. Ran into a problem with stacking, but overall looks good!

nseward29 Apr 2013, 05:22
Great. Very simple yet awesome.

Felix2029 Apr 2013, 05:29
That was sweet, though some music certainly would have helped it out a bit.

Taro Omiya29 Apr 2013, 06:53
At first, I was like...???
Then I was, Oooooooooooh, that's the twist. Clever, clever!

I loved this, I wished you had went even crazier with effects and added sounds!
Infernal29 Apr 2013, 07:03
sounds would have taken this way further! it was fun as heck with the visual effects and lighting in the higher speeds.
Mekuri29 Apr 2013, 07:28
This is a very simple game, which suits the theme. At first I felt like it was a bit boring, but then the colors start comming, and when you get close to 100 the speed really kicks in. I had fun playing it, although sound would have been very nice.
Linus Lindberg29 Apr 2013, 07:59
"Weeeell... this is boring..."
...
"OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING?!? PAAAANIIIIIC! XD"
Great game! :D

Enjoyed it, but took me quite some time to realize whats happening :D
Joritan Cety29 Apr 2013, 09:33
Interesting game, cool concept!

Diamonde29 Apr 2013, 11:22
I didn't understand whether the colored cubes could be matched in some way and give more score or not, and by only letting the cubes fall I got double the score compared to when I tried to actually form some color matches.
The simple visuals was really cool and I could swear I heard the cubes crash into the ground before I realized there was no sound at all in the game :D

AnnaGavaldaKedavra29 Apr 2013, 11:42
I didn't get it. Is it a tetris with cubes?
xgeovanni29 Apr 2013, 11:53
I thought it was going to be really easy, but by damn it gets fast. Beautiful use of lighting to make a minimalistic but attractive game.

timtipgames29 Apr 2013, 12:27
oooh i whish this had sound. It really needs some nice stomping sounds to make the impact even harder in my opinion :) Really liked how it turned out to be not only another tetris game. Also the lighting looks really nice. Well done.

grimpunch29 Apr 2013, 13:02
Wish it had music! :D otherwise fun
Richard Matey29 Apr 2013, 13:58
Great idea, love the effects and really enjoyed the shockwaves.
villhest29 Apr 2013, 14:17
Awesome game! I love the effects!
Aksami029 Apr 2013, 14:19
It was nice game.

reustonium29 Apr 2013, 14:33
nicely done, I enjoyed the game play, but would have liked better lighting in the scene and maybe some simple-understated textures.
Geoege29 Apr 2013, 15:34
At baginning i was, "Oh god that game so boring..."
but when my blocs started to get away of their plan i was like "Wut ? Oh !!! So cool."
Collision feedbacks are really nice.
Gameplay a bit to simple, but works nice.
Good work.

Most things allready said, I like how impatient players will never get to see the fun part
Martin_Monosys29 Apr 2013, 17:53
This shows how a simple idea can be great fun. The fast action gets your pulse racing, and the multicolor neon cubes look soooo cool! Just needs a funky disco/techno soundtrack and some fx... :)
Fabien Porée29 Apr 2013, 18:16
Cute :)

CryoGenesis29 Apr 2013, 18:20
Nice take on classic.

Xatulu29 Apr 2013, 18:31
I really enjoyed the graphics and gameplay, those neat little effects you added are nice, keep up the good work!
multikorv29 Apr 2013, 18:33
Nice feel of panic after a while when there start to be left overs on the field. Like how it sneaks up on you.
iamorim29 Apr 2013, 19:01
Wow! I enjoyed this game a lot!! Nice touch about the camera shake. Amazing colors ^_^
Zampi29 Apr 2013, 19:21
That realy cool! Simple and fun
Sophie Houlden29 Apr 2013, 19:36
wow, that becomes amazing out of nowhere! really wish it had some sounds though! :)
TobiasL29 Apr 2013, 20:00
Simple and fun. Got really hectic after a while.
errorage29 Apr 2013, 20:24
The first 10 rows don't prepare you for the next 40, which don't prepare you for the rest :)

PurpleMoustache29 Apr 2013, 21:25
Fun game. Gets fast kinda quick. Sometimes a bit hard to change lanes when a stack gets stacking.
zerebruin29 Apr 2013, 21:36
Very nice rythm to it!
FaBrito29 Apr 2013, 22:09
Why didn't you start or at least offered the evolved option from the beginning? I wouldn't mind having more than 3 lanes to work with... Nice lights and shake effect, though.
ming_tea29 Apr 2013, 22:20
Fun! Got pretty crazy at the end.

Waynetron29 Apr 2013, 22:34
Nice touch adding the lighting. Audio would have made this game really come together.

theomnis29 Apr 2013, 23:10
This reminds me of a game I once made, so of course it's awesome :)
Gaeel29 Apr 2013, 23:24
NEEEDS MUSIC SOOOO BAD!
shohs30 Apr 2013, 00:59
Good game, although it could have used some sound. At first I thought, "Hmm, this is really easy," and then it got crazy. I liked that the blocks emitted light too, it added a nice graphical touch.

CherryNukaCola30 Apr 2013, 03:56
Hahaha, that was fun. Well done, thanks!
lotusgame30 Apr 2013, 09:05
Good physics engine. Needs some sounds. Good job !

allinlabs30 Apr 2013, 13:33
Wasn't expecting this "Panic!" situation. That was stressful ^^
anatolat30 Apr 2013, 13:58
Like the simplicity of the idea. Illumination also looks very appealing. As the others already said, this game really needs some good music on background.

Christina Nordlander1 May 2013, 21:46
Gameplay is nothing special (though it's an OK way to kill a minute or two), but I like the various graphical tricks you played with the blocks, and the increasing difficulty. The fact that the blocks could topple over was a nice touch. In short, very simplistic, but polished.
SPOILERS
I also like that you gave the option to play "pure" or "evolved" once you unlocked the "evolved" level.

OK, turns out I quit just before things started going crazy. Think I'm gonna have to increase my score a bit...
mrexcessive2 May 2013, 20:48
Cool to play, bit boring after a while but mania in the meantime. Love it when changes to blocks carrying lights. Nice visuals. Grab away of blocks on completed line is very effective.
TammiLion3 May 2013, 16:48
Haha this was so much fun! I was trying to get high stacks and then make them fall over! Loved it ^^
badlydrawnrod8 May 2013, 19:58
Gets a bit frantic as it progress. I like the lighting on the coloured blocks.

Do the colorful blocks appear later on? They look quite interesting, especially with the overlapping lights.
