Interesting combination of ship building and tetris. I didn't quite understand why sometimes the blocks wouldn't move all the way to the side, however.
I also didn't understand what to do in the combat phase :-o
I had some dots around my ship and I thought those were the directions I was maybe supposed to fly towards, but I didn't know if I was moving or not (some background stars or something might have helped there).
The tetris segment felt a bit clunky, and I was confused when lines didn't clear and blocks went through other blocks haha. The time spent navigating towards enemy ships is effectively a big downtime for the player, so leads to the game being a little bit boring.
Haha this is for some reason really funny. I just really like the way it takes something traditional and turns it into something completely different. Good job.
I felt a bit lost in the combat section, but as a veteran of many a tetris clone I enjoyed that part of it. I very nearly did tetris myself but I struggled to think of a unique mechanic to add to it, so props for innovation definitely!
The concept to build your ship tetris style is great, but it was hard to find enemies and get enough money to buy something. But it has potential if polished!
interesting design :D after I tried to make shape again on that tetris style shapemaker it didn't let me go right enough to add blocks to it.. :( needs sounds! I like the idea of using tetris-kinda block maker for making a shape.
Neat idea, but it needs work. The input wasn't responsive and sometimes the left and right movement didn't work. Also I shouldn't be able to leave the play space with the pieces. Decent idea overall.
Absolutely brilliant idea, that needs some work though: - the Tetris part is too slow. When the down key is pressed, the stones still take ages to reach the bottom. It would also be helpful to see the function of each color (armor, weapon etc.) while a piece is falling down - everything is too small :) - there is no point in killing enemies as of yet, apart from getting more credits to kill more enemies
Just to emphasize, the game IS fun to play. It could be even better with a few fixes and a clear goal for the player.
Its an interesting concept, can be expanded such that the shape of the ship will affect the combat and characteristics of the ship. Ship building a little bit slow, and enemies are quite hard to find.
The spaceship combat is good and have elements of strategy. However the Tetris part was quite frustrating when the blocks didn't move with my input. But overall I liked it.
Cool idea, but the execution could use some work. The Tetris part felt very unresponsive at times so I had a hard time building my ship. Also, please don't make me use both keyboard alone and mouse and keyboard. :p Combat felt a bit non interactive in that it's just keep hitting till one drops dead. (At least with the ship I had I couldn't dodge bullets or do anything interesting in combat) Still, overall cool entry! :)
I didn't understand what to do in the combat phase at first. Cool idea, I like games with several phases and customization. Needs some more work but could be a really fun game!
Really neat concept! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/1j0YT8wm6Kc
