How it feels

A colorful, minimalist puzzler where you match cubes to avoid being squashed, gradually opening into whimsical exploration.

What players say

Players describe it as Tetris in first person, matching colors to clear blocks before they overwhelm you. The survival mode is frantic, while solitaire is relaxed. There are two control schemes, but teleporting can glitch and drop you through blocks. The developer is responsive and hides an easter egg with a jetpack.
