A puzzle game with some extra elements around visibility. At 1000, 3000, and 8000 points a special block will appear. Match all three to win.

The game is cool, it lacks some visual features, but the mechanics are cool

Glad to see another game made in UE. Was lot's of fun but when I lost I couldn't see my score so if you could make it so you can see your score on the lose screen that would make the game a little better.

Game seems very fun! I really like the simplistic graphic design, for me it fits the game! Great job!!

fun little puzzle game concept! especially how the other tiles lit up when you completed a combo

Very creative take on Tetris! This sucked me in for quite a bit. I managed to win even though I didn't realize it was possible (somehow missed the first paragraph in the description) :laughing:

I always envy people that manage to make a puzzle game during a game jam. The premise is cool. A small ingame tutorial would have helped a lot with helping what I am supposed to do.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, it was a joy to make a puzzle game for a change. For people asking, yes it was made with UE 5.7. I agree @slay-a-stone that a tutorial would have been nice, but I didn't want to resort to a screen in the game and preferred a little self-experimentation over that.

I also wish I had more time to polish the UI a little more (post game score is a great callout @jamesgames1000), but such is the way of the jam.

It is a bit painful to move pieces, but it is a nice spin on a classic.
