Caught the news on FB, and replied there. Should be really interesting to dive into this. Thanks, and Happy September!

Nope! There are multiple copies of this floating around and it took how long?

Then again, probably!

Great news!

FWIW the Genesis version of Block Out becomes unplayable at high difficulty levels too, so I think it's just an inherent flaw in the concept -- too much to deal with, not enough time to process it, and not enough visual information to make quick judgments. Still a fun game on lower levels, though.

So nice to finally see this released. Thanks!

As to work needed, maybe if they finished, they could have refined it to tell whether you meant to push A/B to rotate or A+B to drop it. (maybe detect on button release?)

Is there a way to beat the game? I was curious if the game has any credits. All I know is that the game uses Michiya Hirasawa's sound engine.

I don't remember any credits, but yes you can beat the game...if you've seen that trailer I made, the Statue of Liberty animation is the ending.

Oh okay. How do you beat the game? Or is it like Tetris where Mode A is infinite and Mode B is the (clear certain amount of lines to beat level)?
