Made for Buffalo Game Space  9D Jam II

In [B4] you play as memory manager where an overflow of garbage data packets just keeps coming in and you are racing to get it deleted before it overflows your buffer!! The trick is you cannot dispose of the data unless it is organized in neat full dense blocks that are multiples of 8 !

Inspired by good old Tetris, the data comes into your grid in the shape of tiled blocks made from 4-8 tiles each.

You are able to move these blocks in all directions and rotate them CW or CCW.  If a block collides with  a wall or another block, it is frozen in place and a new block is spawned.

Each block has a certain amount of energy (action points), will spawn at top center of the memory grid and move down by default.  Each step or rotation costing 1 action point. 

The block will keep moving on their own or with players influence in the last known direction until they hit the bottom of the gird, the side walls, another block, or simply run out of action points.

If a block reaches a resting point before expending all its energy , the energy is overflowed into the next spawned block!

The goal of the game is to pack the data blocks into dense larger blocks (squares/rectangles) that are multiples of 8 and then purge the grid.  The larger and denser the purged block , the higher the score and multiplier!   Purge multiple blocks at once for combo multiplier.
