Does anyone have The Next Tetris?

[Lewis]

I'm just interested whether anyone else plays the Next Tetris, so I can compare scores, cascades etc. I'm currently on Level 11, and can't seem to get further.

I have the game.


It's hard, especially since the game uses it's own unique asymmetrical rotation system.


I don't find the main mode very fun.

isn't ars asymmetric in a few senses? isn't difficulty resulting from such things perceived as "fun" and "challenging" by the arika crowd?

I don't quite like the asymmetrical aspect of ARS. The challenge and fun comes from other aspects. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

difficulty playing in 20g because of the downward orientations? i don't really see the wall kicks as that difficult.

I thought this thread was about The Next Tetris.

Neither TNT game's rotation system has been entirely documented to my knowledge.

[Zaphod77]

the center of rotation is different for clockwise and ccw rotation.


so if you rotate a z back and forth, it will move across the screen depending on which direction you rotated it first!


it really messes with your head.

Strange, when I rotate a Z back and forth, it stays in the same place. Are you playing the PC version or the PlayStation version?

[Zaphod77]

try rotatign it once, then rotating it back and forth. i am playing the ps1 version, and it definitely ratchets the piece along.

On the PC version, the Z definately stays in the same place, no matter how I rotate it.
