Do you think you'll tweak things a little bit to make it a bit easier? I like playing, but it's hard to do more than a handful of tries in one sitting. :p I haven't managed to clear a single line yet...
When I get some time I plan to. Although I’m not really sure how; I might experiment with making the width smaller to it’s easier to make lines (although it increases the chance of getting squished!).
ooo, I do think a smaller width would help. I had a few other ideas, though I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement them:
prevent blocks from spawning all the way against either side
since you can't push/interact with blocks against the side
give the crab a little extra time or speed to get out from under blocks once pushed
make it less likely for smaller blocks to spawn under larger blocks
for example, in the early game, a blue one-blip block under a yellow three-blip block can't be moved
make a visual indicator of much longer you have to push to move a row of blocks, or make it take less time to move
maybe a colored circle appears under the crab and changes color based on how soon the row will move?
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my comment! Even if you don't end up getting back to this project, I'm glad you shared what you made. The visuals are clear and cute, and I like the opening theme. :)
EDIT: oh p.s. I got up to 4 lines cleared in one game 🙌
Wow! This game has so much character! I love it's simple, yet addictive gameplay. It is insanely difficult, though. I've only had a score of 1 before dying D:

Some cool ideas there :)
There are a few ‘fix up a game you already made’ jam, so I’ll peg this for when the next one comes around I have some time for.
Glad you got some lines in the end, there’s definitely some strategies you pick up with a few plays.

I know what you mean, it definitely turned out more difficult than I had expected. My high score is only 7, so :P
