Block Dropper is a rhythm game where you have to match the blocks with holes to the sound of the music. Pushing shapes through holes has never been so much fun!
Controls -------- Q - left position W - middle position E - right position
Left Arrow - Change to Sphere Down Arrow - Change to Cube Right Arrow - Change to Triangular Prism
Very difficult, but enjoyable, game! My biggest suggestion would be to work on syncing up the audio from the blocks moving so that they match the music better. As it is now, they always play slightly behind when they would be in sync.
Playing on Windows, my game suffered major and frustrating delays. It was almost impossible to keep up with because you had to look so far ahead and try to get the timing right that way. If it worked the way it was supposed I am sure this would be a fun game, but even if it did keep up, I think the starting speed is a little too fast, but that is me.
Nice concept but damn managing shapes AND placement is rough.
One thing that threw me off completely though was trying to match the "beat" was not in tune with me having to move the shape...bit hard to explain.
In "beat" games usually your inputs are in tune with the rhythm but here, you have to move and change shapes outside of any real rhythm and that's a really weird (and not good, at least for me) feeling.
Pretty good. Slightly frustrating and confusing with the jump to position system instead of a move by one. Quite interesting and well put together. Good job.
This is the kind of game I could play for hours, trying to survive a few seconds more. I love how the visuals react to the music. Very enjoyable, congrats!
The synch was a little too far off for me, too. A little slower ramp up would have helped players to get a grasp of the controls before asking for fast shape changes. Otherwise it's a solid game, with decent music and art.
At first, I thought this was going to be just like the many other "mach the shape" games i've played so far. And it was, to an extent. Your's requires HUGE coordiantion, because you added two new layers: mach the shape AND the position, and you have to match the beat. Well done.
Simple, well made game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/tTBSC0cP_38
Nicely done but MAN is a human supposed to be able to play this?! I'd need at least 3 brains to be able to play this, one for shapes, one for positions and one for remembering the keys ahah Nicely done tho! A shame we can't rate the music, it sounded cool.

Solid entry, though. I like the simplistic graphics.

Keeping track of the shapes and the positions both was pretty hard.
I played it very briefly on stream at 2:04:30 : http://www.hitbox.tv/video/991443
