   I call the 'enemy blocks' 'blocked cells', but I actually like 'enemy blocks' better! :) Regarding changing the game dynamics by having power-ups appear as just another piece in the game, I think that would ove

   I think your opinion makes a lot of sense, although I believe the alternative I have in the game now also makes sense. It's all a matter of perspective. Right now, I think that the way the game over is forced even with pending power-up

   Thank you so much for your feedback; these are really interesting contributions! The idea of giving blocked cells more functionality is excellent, especially being able to clear those 'enemy blocks' by crossing both a row and a co

   Hi litenboll!, Your comments are very interesting and insightful. 1. Difficulty: You're right—making obstacles dynamic or even destructible is a powerful idea and could be a lot of fun. I’m definitely taking note of that. 2. Powers &am

   Hi acomjean!, about your suggestions: 1. Instructions: You're absolutely right. I'll think of a way to make them more visible for new players. Great catch! 2. Flipping pieces (Mirroring): I have to respectfully disagree on this on

   Ummm, that change (if you mean being able to flip the pieces as if looking in a mirror) would fundamentally change the essence of the game. It would prevent players from developing the visual ability to mentally rotate and imagine the piece

   Thanks for the suggestions! Regarding the swipe-to-draw mechanic, I really believe that drawing the piece cell-by-cell on the board has a few intentional advantages: 1. It gives the player a sense of absolute control over the game and their

    Thanks so much for taking the time to test it and giving such thorough feedback! Yellow box: You were totally right. The copy was a bit too long for certain browser/font configurations. I'm shortening the text so it fits perfectly

    It's neither purely random 7 nor like drawing from a bag. It's a little bit more complex. If I were to explain it the technical way: I use a custom Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) seeded by the current date (YYYYMMDD) to ensur

    I’m so glad you like it! Regarding what you said about dragging the piece... I get how convenient that is, but I don’t know, I feel these 'micro-pleasures' every time I draw the piece with my finger. It’s like you have more contro

    Yes, exactly, good idea! I have this on my mind, and now I'm thinking about the best way to adopt it.
