Really awesome idea! This game can be so satisfying! This could easily be a popular full release on mobile or Steam. Awesome jam game :D

Submitted

Super clever idea! Very fun and perfect balance between skill/strategy and randomness.

Also - cool interpretation of the theme.

(I got an error about array out of bounds when placing one of the blocks on level 3 or 4 :D)

Submitted

Incredibly fun and addictive game, has one of the best integrations of the theme I've seen, great job!

This is one of the 2 games in this jam ive had to physically stop myself from playing becauses its just so much fun that i wouldnt get any other ratings done. great job.

Submitted

This is such a great well polished game that takes a creative puzzle spin on the theme! I really enjoyed playing it. Great game ^^

Submitted

One of the best games of the jam with a strong connection to the theme. Really satisfying overall, I did want a bit more of a challenge but understand it was made a little easier for the jam. Good luck!

Submitted

This is awesome. It works great as a puzzle game, it gets you thinking and the presentation is really good as well.  I love it!

Submitted

Extremely addictive, perfectly polished. Just amazing graphics. Amazing work!! Seeing works like these remind me why i started making games in the first place <3

Submitted

Wow, this is a standout right here. The graphics, the gameplay... you guys and gals have some genuine game design chops. Great job.

Submitted

Very interesting puzzle game that is a good use of the theme!

And it's a bit addictive too, well done!

Submitted

fun game, would be nice if your excess points carried over or if there were some reward for it as it feels nice getting a big number but not as nice then if it was at the end and kind of wasted especially since the blocks would have stayed there for the next round.  after the first game the first few waves feels a bit slow to where I Was just placing blocks where ever and Didn't even realize until after that I passed where I previously died.

I really enjoyed this, it was surprisingly challenging to score combos but so satisfying when I did!

Submitted

5 stars, that's such a cool game! I had a lot of fun playing it, the mechanic is very clever with a good strategic part, and satisfying juicy feedbacks! Congrats for that amazing work! 😄

Submitted

Insanely satisfying when you can set up a chain reaction that clear out the whole board! Very well polished with great visual feedback and sound effect. Great work!

Submitted

Nice, how did you make this in 4 days  lol

Submitted

Veryyy gooood! I had so much fun playing this! I love polyomino type of games. Great job! Thank you for this game <3

Submitted

very well polished game i am sooo amazed. i love the special effects of the lasers and the sounds and the gameplay itself is very unique. its like a better block blast i could play for hours. amazing!!1

Rank 08 with 1362 points! This game was awesome in pretty much every way, from the amazing pixel art to the music and sfx when destroying blocks. It really gave me that drive to continue restarting after losing and seeing how far I can get. It's such a fun and addicting game, and really fun when you get big combos and see the big number go up.
I think my only criticisms I have are that not everything was explained as well as it could have. The tutorial didn't explain what the goal was, so at first i thought we had to avoid destroying the blocks lol. Also it wasn't clear what the ice blocks actually did. But yeah the game itself is pretty much flawless so well done everyone.
