Nice entry with nice graphics! I finished all three difficulties. ;)
The crushable dirt blocks, spells and the torches are clever extras on top of tetris, but I didn't use them very much. I just played tetris till I cleared enough lines to reach the bottom line and collect the idol. But of course I tried out all the cool spells that I got. :)

Awesome game! Nice spin on classic tetris ideas, and it felt really smooth and polished. My only suggestions would to be add some rules in somewhere to make first playthroughs less confusing, and also definitely a score system so people could see how well they were doing. Besides that, excellent game!

Tetris with a nice twist.
Really nice execution.
Audio can get a bit tedious without some bgm I think it's your main weakness in this, everything else was great.
Keep up the great work!

Nice to see you do a non-pico8 entry. It's a really good one too! I like the twist. I've played enough Tetris so having an end goal makes it interesting for me. The graphics look really nice and sound effects are great too. I just wish there was a theme appropriate music. I played through all the difficulties.

On hard I would have won with the winch (if you can win with it), but I got another gem by accident. It changed the spell and I had to play a while longer.
I didn't notice that "Spells are randomized on each games" until now. I guess it was just bad luck on my part :D
