It's Not Tetris!



Basically it's a little like tetris except with a twist.
Instead of normal Tetris rules you have to stack as much shit as you can without reaching the top of the screen. No, you can't clear lines.
Includes oldschool graphics, music, sounds, and new physics.
It's written in lua with löve. http://love2d.org/

CONTROLS!
Menu controls are arrow keys and enter.

Left/Right - Move block
Down - Let block fall faster
A/S - Rotate block counter-clockwise/clockwise
Enter - Pause
Esc - Return to menu

=================================
DOWNLOAD HERE!
I am not allowed to ask you to click on the ads, but it'd be nice to give me something back (The game is completely free after all)
=================================

IF THE SOUND BUGS OUT ON YOUR MACHINE, I'M SORRY.
THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT, IT SEEMS TO BE THE ENGINE'S FAULT.
Best advice I can give is to download löve yourself and then run it from source. (drag the .love file onto love.exe)
^also allows you to run it on linux and osx.

MORE SCREENSHOTS! (game is actually double size)

Look at that awesome mspaint created title.


I'm bad at this.

My record is 34. Now go play and post your records.

Erm. Ok.

Could you get and z/s shape and make a nice icon for a dock? Nevermind I'll do this myself.

oh dear god what
this is a nightmare

What happens if you do actually get a line?

A nightmare for everyone that has OCD.

Nothing, I assume.

Yay for physics.

Physics make anything better.

I bet it uses the Source Engine.

I'm gonna test this on wine.

I would suppose the whole WAYWO thread approves of this already :3

~nvm fixed~

Protip: The absolute maximum theoretically achievable is 45. But I'm pretty sure even getting to 40 is practically impossible.

I had a bug or something.

The first few notes of the music kept looping.

What'd you do?

edit: Nevermind I know. I'll fix that..
edit2: uploading fixed version.. done.

Actually, the sound sticks really bad.

Pressed enter before i got to the game over screen.
I wanted to quick-restart the game, guess it isn't supported.

Looping music, really annoying

What you did was pressing enter with music off. It then tried to pause a music that wasn't even defined (music number 4).

select "off" or deal with it. original tetris had that too.

Also I can't tell what's wrong with the music, it works fine for me.

this looks incredible

Edited:

damnit

how about a source code

pretty cool

This, my OCD kicks in

Edited:

But yeah, still cool

This rocks

I got 36

This.

Edited:

But grammatically correct.

Made it so that you can at least touch other blocks, as long as you still have a certain speed downwards.

Also added source here. (But it's horrible: I wrote it)

Weird bug here. Every time the game starts, after a while it just makes a sound like a gunshot, starts playing the game-over music, the blocks all fall down and when they're gone it's game over.

Same here @ arien

Meh, going back to the old detection then. (uh. I lost it. gotta rewrite)
It's just weird because I have no problems.

Edit: Alright, redownload and tell me if it works now.

What do you mean "after a while"?

You should add a way to restart the game or go back to the main menu while playing.

1.4: added a way to restart the game or go back to the main menu while playing. (escape)

I repacked the .love file so I could run it on linux

it used up all my RAM

Reminds me of this:
http://xkcd.com/724/

Someone made that.

Physics aren't as good in that though :D

Is there any particular strategy for this?

Try to stack them without leaving any space I guess. Pretty much like real tetris!
Edit: Added a version without sound because it isn't working for some. And I hope it's not my fault.

Can someone please tell me what their experience with any sound problem is? I can't recreate it.

Went to record video to show the problem->Problem fixed itself?

That's a problem that occurs often in quantum physics, and a lot of my projects. When they're monitored they start behaving like they're supposed to.
