PolyPack

Instructions

- Place tile - Left mouse
- Rotate tile - Q, E, Right mouse
- Hold - W, Middle mouse
- Fast-forward timer - S

Fill the grid with polyominoes! Once the timer runs out, the board will be cleared, and any tiles left empty will become permanently blocked.

Your score is the total number of tiles covered plus the number of seconds fast-forwarded (which automatically happens when you can't place any more pieces).

Miscellaneous

This game is written in vanilla Javascript! There's a lot of flexibility where it comes to drawing game objects, and I used that in the form of adding a transition animation to basically everything.

I went past the Compo submission deadline, but I hadn't even seen the theme until 24 hours in, so I think it's fair to submit this to the Compo. If you think that's unfair, please let me know and I will switch this to a Jam submission.

If you don't like the timer, you can use the debug key "2" to disable it. The fast-forward key will go to the next board immediately instead of draining the timer. You won't get any time bonus, though!

My best score is ~~751~~ ~~832~~ ~~858~~ 876.
