Tetris with hinged triminoes?

You'd think Tetris with triminoes instead of tetrominoes would be easy, but these are hinged triminoes.

the maker's name is alexei. uh oh.


it's fun.


i bet it's solvable.

 

Very hard but I'm sure the confusing controls dont help.

 

I didn't find it all that hard. The general feel of the shapes of the pieces is similar to Tetris, minus S/Z. It's definitely much more playable than pentominoes.


Solvable how?

 

True, the L and J missing their corners feel like the L and J tetrominoes or the S and Z tetrominoes. But the game as a whole feels much different, primarily because of the \ piece. Most sub-1G versions of Tetris encourage a nearly flat playfield, but this game actually encourages a stairstep shaped playfield. Perhaps you're used to stairsteps from 20G pyramiding in TGM series.


I guess "solvable" might refer to something like my solution of Tetris under the Random Generator.

 

I'm guessing it was designed with the numpad in mind, but the buttons don't work. I don't think I really like the flip idea either...

 

Yeaha, but this randomizer is very random. Can you survive forever with only \ pieces?

 

"Can you survive forever with only \ pieces?" probably.

 

complicated, but you catch on after a few games.
