Theme Interpretation
Tetris is one of the most iconic retro games, but (at least to me) a staple of the "retro" internet was Powder Toy and other falling sand simulators.

Very cool mixup of genres! I liked playing around with all the different materials.
I think I'm a bit too tired to get the nuances of the rules right now but I had a good time just vibing to this games and seeing how stuff reacts. really interesting combination! the sand physics also are really satsifying to watch
Fun twist on tetris! It's like setris or sandtricks which I think is pure sand. This was interesting in that it's various different particle dynamics and states. I could see myself playing with this more, as I think once you get used to checking which particles are on the way, one could strategize much better. I found it was actually kind of easier than tetris up until it gets really fast. Fun game and well executed!
even though theres a tetris sandbox game in mobile (idk what the name was) i really like Having Retro Sandbox Games like Tetris but it turns into a sand. Cool Concept and Game!!
Funny concept and clean pixel art 🎮
Quite a strange game to be honest, though not unenjoyable! It was cool to see everything interacting but I didn't really understand the concept/goal too well!
I like the concept, but I found it difficult to meaningfully strategise like I would when playing regular Tetris. If the blocks didn't crumble and I instead had to consider not just shape, but type, this could be a really interesting twist on the formula.
As someone who absolutely loves Noita, the N on the thumbnail and (I assume) Finnish word immediately caught my attention. You really can't go wrong with Tetris, much less falling sand simulators. Trying out various combinations while also trying to not forget you're still playing Tetris was much fun! Loved this!
Highly original and great fun to experiment with all the combos. Superb work!
Very fun to experiment with to find what combined with what. Great Game!
Cool iteration on tetris! Took some time to get a sense of what interactions would do but it was easy to recover while learning which was nice~ Nice job!
I love this one! At first it was a bit confusing since I didn't know how the elements interacted with each other, but as I started experimenting, it became more and more fun to discover new interactions. Great concept!
Noita tetris I mean what more is there to say? Super fun, I wish there were more combinations!
What a fun concept! I couldn't decide whether to play the game or just watch the different materials mix and react :D
I also really liked how the end screen was shown on beat with the music, it's a small detail but very satisfying.
Wow, cool twist on a classic
incredible. i'll be shocked if this isn't the most fun game of the jam. I didn't know I needed noita tetris hahahha
My tetris turned into sand... Very retro.
Incredibly creative, really chaotic tetris variant. Took a bit to get used to shapes being mostly unimportant and the elements being vital, but I ended up playing for quite a bit. It's also impressive that you made a sim of this sort for a jam game, even if it's a small one.
Also is that thumbnail a Noita reference or is it just me?
The N in the thumbnail is very intentional! Until a few hours before shipping the file name for this was still Noitris, lol. The whole Finnish theme with the title and music is also a cheeky Noita reference, mirroring old-school Tetris’s whole Russian thing.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! It really means a lot
I love the concept! Gunpowder plus lava was my saving grace.
