Oppie Drop

Created for the Eggjam #24.

zx or space to rotate, arrows or wasd to move

Sorry about the bugs! It's a jam game, and I tried some things with this that were, in retrospect, really fiddly and too hard to get right in the amount of time I had.

I saw several people say "Puyo Puyo with Magic Garden graphics" in a two day span, so I decided to make this, because they were right. Of course a straight clone would be against the spirit of UFO 50, and game jams in general, so I tried doing something new with the format. I think it's a successful experiment, but the conclusion to some experiments is "that doesn't really work."

The big idea is that once you get some contiguous pieces, it gives you a potion. Potions start a chain, which sends garbage to your opponent. But the chain happens in real time, and so does falling garbage. You can swoop under a falling block and still move while it's happening.
