Hop Well!
Made during Falling Block Jam 2026
Help Frog Escape Well! Frog will hop along and traverse small gaps and stairs. Rotate and drop shapes to help him reach the top of the well!
Be careful with your pieces! Do not squish Frog!
When he reaches halfway up the current well, he will Ascend and scroll upward. Sometimes the Ascend line will increase the piece speed and add a Line Clear goal that must be complete before ascending again.
Clear lines containing magic orbs to spin Frog's magic wheel! Cast spells to help Frog!
Beware Monster Eggs! Try to clear lines with them before they hatch. Monsters will hurt Frog!
There is a surprise awaiting you at the top! Can you make it??

Really fun game. I am not very good at it, but it's fun to play. I will have to keep playing to get better at it.
Extremely fun game. 8'51"87 is my current PB!
This is so much more fun than it looks at first. And harder.
This game is amazing! As someone who's played tetris for hundreds of hours, I have to commend you for properly implementing lock delay, 7 bag, kick/rotation system, 5 lookahead, handling and more. It makes it so much smoother to play and tetris games rarely get it right. Had to use autohotkey to rebind some controls and the next piece being at the top took a minute to get used to but otherwise great game!
I'm so glad!! It was super important to get all that right, even if some of it was beyond my own skill 😅 t-triples and setups like dtcannon all work!
if you don't mind I'm curious what needed autohotkey? If it's expected enough I can support it in an update! Thank you for playing!!
Great idea!
I lost the first game because I couldn't figure out how to rotate, eventually figuring out I had to open up the settings page to see what the default controls are. Too me several tries to "ascend."
EDIT: I see you added the default controls to the instructions. Thank you!
no problem! Thank you for playing!
Absolutely love this! Such a fun take :)
Thank you!!
I love the sheer depth to this. It's a whole adventure!
