Gravless
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A prototype block laying game inspired by the infamous Tetris for Lovejam 2023.
It has a placement bug I need to track down think that is fixed!, and it's hard as hell to get a game over, but this is what I came up with in about 20 hours of work.
Credits didn't make it into the game, but the sound effects are all jsfxr or pixabay stock, and the music is by the awesome Stevia Sphere, check out their bandcamp for chill vibes!
It has keyboard support: arrow keys + Z, X and WASD + ',' + '.' you can also use any attached joystick that has gamepad mapping for the dpad and b / a buttons.
There is no tutorial in this version, but here is an example of clearing a board:

So, I tried this game, but other than trying to lay blocks down to fill in horizontal lines (I think?), I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't know what the clear or not-clear spaces on the board mean. I don't know why it keeps making an obnoxious noise and adding "Burn", whatever that means. I don't know why I can't rotate the pieces all the way around. I don't know how I'm supposed to place pieces on a board once it's shrunk and there's nowhere to put anything. I don't know whether the red blocks that get added are good or bad. You say it's hard to get a game over, but I got a bunch of them right in a row.
A tutorial would be nice. Or instructions. Or anything, really. Might be a cool game, but I can't tell.
