My mouse clicks failed to register sometimes. That makes it kinda stressful to play a time-sensitive clicking game. Maybe it's just a Godot glitch? I haven't messed with mouseclick code much yet so I dunno.

Anyway, it's a neat little game, I like it! The music is great and helps you get into a rhythm, and the concept is simple enough that I could probably lose at least a few minutes to it.

Very good concept here, i think it can go a long way with more balance.

Graphics and sounds fit well, the controls are good, the INTERACTIVE tutorial is clear.

It just need more balance, the randomness of the shapes order make it sometimes impossible. it shrink too fast for a level 1 too.

good job

I thought the sides close down a bit too quickly. There were times I never got any possible matching block for one side and it just kept shrinking, and I had to expand it with mismatching blocks.
Also, when 2 blocks match - the game gets stuck for me for about 2 seconds (in HTML5).

Other than the complaints, very neat idea and take on the theme. As far as Tetris-inspired games go, this is my favorite so far.

Having a bit of trouble with the balance on this one... also, sometimes the game stops drawing after I fire into an empty column, and eventually I hear the failure sound and it moves on.

This is a really cool game, and quite difficult. I love the animation at the beginning of each level, and I enjoyed how you had to balance the different factors that could cause you to lose (not combining things, being too slow, putting too many things in one place, etc.). The music and tutorial are also quite nice. I did find it really hard, although I'm not sure how much of that was me and how much was randomness.

Thanks for all the feed-back it seems like the issues with HTML were game breaking and not repeatable so I removed it :cry: . I think the windows version is much more stable.

I did the tutorial but I didn't find it all that helpful, I think you could definitely explain the mechanics in fewer words.

Are the pieces selected at random? It felt that way, as some times you'd get exactly what you were after, other times you just got unhelpful pieces over and over. I imagine a bag system, like Tetris, would be a good approach.

Also, when I lose I have to start all over again, not just the level I was on? That made me stop playing sooner than I would have otherwise.

Anyway, it's an interesting idea for a puzzle game and it looks good for what it is (shapes).

Pretty challenging game, I guess we're all used to matching same shapes and colors but not matching opposite shapes together so my brain worked a little slow on this one. I think the levels collapsed at a pretty good pace and kept you on your toes. The art and colors were solid and unified and gave off Super Hexagon vibes. Put in some blaring EDM and you could match that even more lol
