Anti-Tetrafied

by Michael Denathorn (Dabzy)

A block-stacking puzzle that actively works against you - it withholds the very piece you need. Winner of the Flip The Classic Game Jam on itch.io!

Description

The twist is in the bag - instead of dealing random pieces, the game works out which piece would help you most and then hands you something else. Under the hood it is a straightforward 2D falling-block engine with an inverted, adversarial piece picker. The extra polish comes from per-draw WebGPU shaders: a sheen sweeps across the title lettering and a shockwave ripples out of every cleared line. Built in BambooBasic and transpiled to JavaScript and WebGPU.

An unofficial, original take on the falling-block genre. Tetris and related trademarks belong to The Tetris Company. Not affiliated with them.
