🧩 Detris

A gravity-twisting twist on falling blocks

Detris was originally born as a tiny 1K prototype for the Pico-Jam 2025.

It has since evolved into a full Tetris-like.

At first glance, it looks like a classic falling-block game…
But here, you can defy gravity!
You can move your current piece upward to buy time — but beware: the more you fight gravity, the more blocks will fall at once!

Ever tried Tetris in co-op?

Minitris 1K

Coded for Pico-1K JAM 2025

Controls

Use the X BUTTON to (re)start.

Use the LEFT/RIGHT/DOWN BUTTONS to move your block.

Use the X BUTTON to rotate your block.

Goals

Minitris is a minimalist, endless take on the classic falling-block puzzle, coded in under 1 kilobyte for the Pico-1K Jam.
The rules are simple: rotate and place blocks to clear lines, but there’s no “game over” — just an infinite challenge to keep stacking, clearing, and pushing your score higher.

Background story

Has been coded for the Pico-1k game JAM in September 2025 for the virtual console Pico-8, with a limited code size of 1024 compressed bytes without embedded ressources (sprites & sounds).

Any feedback/suggestion is welcome.

RaySnake uses a mini custom raycasting engine, was a real challenge for me to make it fit within a little bunch of bytes!
