Ehhh... I've played a lot of pointless games before. Can't say that this one was particularly inspiring, although it tricked me for about 10 minutes thinking that there was something worthwhile to play here.

I suppose it isn't that much more futile than normal tetris...

Well, I enjoyed it, but good tetris mechanics make it an exercise in how long until you get bored. Does at least make me remember the joy of finishing all the wonders in the New Tetris for n64 though.

Interesting concept and new take on Tetris. I liked it a lot. Keep it good work!

This is not a game, it's interactive art posing as a game.

The intention is not to provide an itch to scratch, but to lead the player towards contemplating compulsion itself.

Brilliant.

It needs 'something', other than that: Brilliant!

If you weren't aware, the guy who made this also made the very awesome Frog Fractions and recently funded its successor on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/475057068/frog-fraction...

I really appreciated that the sound + music began to echo after several zooms... the vast, hopeless chamber effect really hammered home the futility.

Well...that was one of the darkest puzzlers I've ever played.
