Not sure, but I can't seem to get the anything but a black screen...which is a SUPER bummer since I loved your screenshots (they remind me of my game's style a lot)

I'll try back later and hopefully it will work

NEVERMIND! A few more refreshes later and it worked (personal problem I guess)

I absolutely love everything about this game, the visuals are great, the concept in innovative and the gameplay is engaging, easy to pickup, and fun! Well done!

(as a side-note though it bothers me a little that the piano notes are random and don't follow a set octave or scale)

Liked the (random?) music with you get putting tiles. Good done!

Thank's.
I have composed a melody, it play one note by action.
But I'm a very bad composer ;-)

This is actually like a reinvented, slowpaced tetris game. I love the combination of platformer and pure puzzler. It's acutally really fun. Amazing job!

Wow, very clever puzzle idea, this one could surely be released for mobile! Congratulations!

Nice entry, another innovative take on tetris! The audio could have been a bit better, but in overall I enjoyed the game. :)

Very nice concept! Is it possible to lose? I tried to stack as much as blocks in one place, but it never stopped :)
BtheDestroyer8 Dec 2014, 21:36
Really good concept! Almost got it but pushed left too long and placed a block in the wrong spot. Very Super Mario Galaxy-ey

The web link gives me a black screen and the iframe gives me "Unable to resolve the server's DNS address."

Oh wait, it's back up, ooh de lolly :D

Super cool idea, like a multidimensional tetris. And the random melodies that are created are really nice. Excellent work!

Really nice calm, cerebral take on tetris!

Clever move engine. But I think I would have prefer some combo/match mechanic to the filling square system. The little not on each block add a lot for the mood.

Really nice. Probably the best LD31 game I've played so far. I love the concept and the simplified art and sounds fit it very well.
danielilett8 Dec 2014, 21:41
This was pretty calming, thanks to the soft piano music. The notes seemed random, but turned out pretty calming, and kinda matched the slow pace of the game. This all gives it a calmed atmosphere, and made it enjoyable. It does feel like Tetris at my own pace, and the minimalist theme backed that. I noticed I could just get stuck then spam the down key and still get a win screen, so perhaps consider making a game over condition if you go too far into the black areas? Overall, a very strong entry. Great work.

Very cute game! It takes quite a while to play with not a lot of feedback though. You might want to consider some kind of more frequent feedback (fill a smaller shape, for example).

Very nice! At first I was a little confused, and I thought the colors meant something, but once I figured it out it was a lot of fun. One suggestions is that the ending message is only whether you did 100% or not. It might be good to have intermediate accomplishments.
Anyway, nice work!

It looks really interesting, but a more explaining tutorial would be better, as I couldn't fully understand it. Really like the minimalist art, props to you!

It took me a while to understand the concept. but in the end found it very good.

Nice simple game which got fiddly to solve close to the end.

Very calm and meditative. One of the best games I've played in this LD so far. Good as it is. Maybe it would get even better with polishing?
ShellfishGames10 Dec 2014, 22:41
Yes, very innovative! Had a good time playing it. :)

Hi there. Like the idea. Easy to build a prison as you near 50%. Nice gentle sounds. Like the dropping in of 'confirmation' piece when you pull next one. Good job!

Really cool idea. Really like the rotation and the audio cues! Little faster pace, to encourage a sense of urgency would have been nice, but overall good job!
Thanks!

Really nice concept.Needs music!keep up!
Wiering15 Dec 2014, 03:14
Well done. I like the sounds, even though it's a very short repeating melody, but seemed like nice random notes at first. Compared to Tetris, having all the time to place a piece does kind of make it feel a bit slow. And there seems to be no way to move a piece under something else, even if it would fit.
