Tezz

[b]tezz[/b] is a very simple puzzler that has you rotating tetris shapes and drop them where they belong in order to recreate the shape shown in the top right corner. right click rotates, left click drops, mouse wheel zooms, but I never used it. [b]no undo[/b], but the [b]35 levels[/b] are short and easy, so it's not a dealbreaker. they're unlocked one by one and there's a level select screen. no settings in the main menu, but separate volume sliders and windowed mode are available while playing, except [b]the window is not resizable[/b], so it's useless. I'd prefer if the level reset button was always on-screen, opening the menu every time is one click too many, but the level resets automatically once every piece has been used, and level numbers are shown in the corner, which is always nice. I assume the exclusion of camera rotation was on purpose, to make things trickier, as the puzzle doesn't always face the same direction as the shape in the corner. and only during the first few levels are mobile and immobile pieces separated there, after that you have to figure out what's where. there can be extra pieces to shoot off into the distance and the final few levels have transparent blocks. they're always there, so timing isn't involved, but they slowly fade in and out, so you might have to wait a bit just to make sure everything's lined up properly. functional graphics and audio, nothing special overall, but it works, it's kinda relaxing, it's cheap, and only [b]takes a bit more than half an hour[/b].

A pretty good puzzle game that you can enjoy and relax. Sometimes you might not tell some pieces apart in a couple levels, so be careful!

It's pretty short, but I enjoyed my time with it. The mechanics are simple and the color palette and music are relaxing. The only two things I would change are adding an undo button and clearing up whether the player should know the orientation of the puzzle or not. I recommend Tezz for puzzle game fans looking for a quick relaxing game.

The desired shape is visible in the top right and players can rotate the blocks and then push them toward the center in whatever order they desire. Getting the correct rotation and order of the blocks is key, especially since blocks keep traveling once pushed until they hit something, possibly going until they hit an unmoved piece across from them or flying off the screen entirely. Tezz is a pretty short game but features a lovely soft color palette and relaxing music. The puzzles aren't too difficult and the mechanic is simple to learn. Restarting is fast, though I'd have liked to see an undo button for smoother gameplay. One thing I found weird was that the orientation the desired shape was in seemed random compared to the starting orientation of the camera. However, it was easy to determine because any attempted solution, even just randomly pushing all the pieces in, would cause the camera to move to the correct orientation. I'm not sure if this was an oversight and finding the orientation was supposed to be part of the challenge, or if the intended orientation is just poorly communicated.
