Wow, this was really good! Managed to pick up the mechanics within the first half-dozen deaths, after that it was straightforward! I say straightforward...I died again and again and again! But I went back again and again too, so it was clearly doing a lot right!

Graphics were gorgeous, music and sfx fit the style well. The bullet hell and tetris themes definitely felt incompatible! (in a fun way! :smile:)

FYI I did run into a bug - when the ship had a full tetris piece, if I held down the fire button and pressed the rotate button it skipped the ship to the very edge of the view.

Tidy this up a bit and add a story mode and you've got a release here! Good entry!

Really challenging game with great idea and performance! The most hard part when enemies start to shoot and you have to watch simultaneously at enemies, bullets and blocks! I gained 132 points but didn't manage to clear blocks) and at first i didn't understand that green lights on sides of blocks show how i can connect them)

Very nice (and visually extremely appealing) graphics, music and original genre combination. At first I found it very difficult but then I encountered that I could shoot all the time and now this game is really fun. Nice job!

Ahahaha, that was really cool!

I loved the idea, animations, visual and production, nice polish!

I think that the ship's movement is a little too fast tho, and it was not fun to get hit by the enemies that spawned on my face while I was trying to place the pieces, there could be more feedback on the spawners.

Great job anyway!

Definitely a well executed combination of incompatible genres. It is a bit inconvenient that you have to go to the upper edge of the screen, where you run into enemies and the placement of the blocks doesn't always perfectly align with where you intend to place them, but it's still great for a game jam game. The instructions could have been more clear, for example, you can only rotate blocks if you have 4 collected or that you don't just have to connect blocks at the green edge, but also have to fly in the opposite direction of the green edge. It looks good, it plays well, so it's a positive rating from me.

Very good game. I like the mix of the genre. Very polished.

Fun game, with impressive art and polish. It felt a bit too tough and somewhat random getting up to the very top row without getting hit by enemies, since it's so close to the edge of the screen where enemies appear.

Fun Game Great job it just would have been nice if the enemy bullets didn't last forever.
