Papertris

A neat little Columns-esque falling block / match-3 game with cute graph paper aesthetics, and a unique "3D" mechanic that gives you a new playing field in front of your last one when you top out - you can make matches with blocks behind. A few suggestions: - More distinct colours at higher levels (I'm not colour blind AFAIK but I couldn't distinguish between the two shades of green or the two shades of red unless they were right beside each other) - Add a hard-drop / fast-drop key - Inputs are sometimes missed at faster speeds

This is amazing! Congrats to the dev for keeping something like Tetris fresh after all these decades. Highly recommend! --- One recommendation to the devs, as a red/green colorblind person, please add accessibility features like a symbol for each cube color so that higher levels are playable by people like myself. Once there were green, yellow, orange, and red paper around level 24 on endless I was unable to keep track of matching blocks anymore :(

As soon as you put "tris" in the title of your game, you know you are most likely going to be playing a block falling puzzle game, and let's be honest here, there are literally thousands of such games, so does Papertris stand out in a crowded field? Let's find out. The first thing you notice with Papertris, and this might be given away in the name but everything has the appearance of being made of paper. What at first glimpse looks like a simple Tetris clone, quickly proves to be much more. Groups of 3 vertically stacked coloured cube blocks drop from the top of the screen, you decide where to place your cubes as they slowly fall, the aim being to match up the colours to three or more. Throw in "power cubes" and a few other special types of cubes and things seem pretty straightforward, that is until you start to progress through the various levels. The part that makes this game different, outside of the paper graphics is that there can be layers to the playing area, meaning that you can match cubes on your current layer, with those on a layer behind, bringing a whole new type of difficulty to finishing the levels. The main mode you will play is the Challenge mode, whereby each …

When I first started playing the game felt way too easy and I could just place stuff anywhere... But then after playing for a bit the difficulty and pace starts increasing and it becomes so engaging! Especially the 3D aspect of it gives you a whole new perspective on tetris! Cool thing is after you reach higher levels, you can then start new games at higher levels, to skip that slow pace if you want. Really fun little game, definitely worth the ~$3

Very polished and well-made game, takes the oldest game known to man and still manages to bring something new to it, also in this price range it's quite baffling how polished it actually is. You can tell a lot of time and love went into this game! Recommend if you are the type of person who likes to kill time with games like Tetris and Candy Crush. I'm guessing (but haven't tested) that this is PERFECT for the Deck as well as the Nintendo Switch. Some nitpicks for the devs that could make this game even better: * Input on PC can be a bit confusing at times. One thing sticks out more than the rest: The fact that up is used to quickplace really throws me off, as up is used to rotate in OG tetris. Finding the new-style rotate buttons (especially when playing with arrows initially) had me a bit confused and made me consult the manual. At first I didn't think blocks could even be rotated. I think some UX work could be well invested time to make things like this more clear. * Very high contrast in some 3D parts of the UI, for example pins, completely black hard shadows etc. Experimenting with Global Illumination or other types of ambient lights to brighten up dark spots could really …

Just want to apologise first if I come off as harsh, but I'd thought I would drop a review For some background in this review: I do enjoy Tetris, in fact I make it a point to play TetrisxPuyo with everyone who visits my house. I might be a bit competitive in that regard Now for the review part: + I do like the aesthetic, it's cute and all, especially with what's going on with the sides of the screen - Controls? There's instructions on how to play, but playing on a keyboard, aside from the obvious (using arrow keys) I don't know if there was any other buttons I could press, like rotation for example. I didn't even know how to pause the game until I accidentally clicked the space bar. Maybe have the controls on the screen as the game is going or something - The levels are uninteresting. My experience is probably hindered that I might be missing controls, but there isn't really anything going. Just break X cubes of a color, but given the fact I don't know how to rotate the cubes or substitute (if I can do that in the first place), meant it was just a waiting game, waiting for the right set of cubes to come my way. On this note, some levels don't even show me which cubes to break -…
