This is Letris!

A Tetrislike game.

Letris is my implementation of Tetris using Pico-8.

I tried to do it based on what I remember as a child playing those cheap Chinese Brick Games that had multiple versions of Tetris clones. (Sadly, no Game Boys were easily available in my country when I was young).

I hope you guys have fun with this game as I had when I worked on it.

Controls

Z and X: Rotate the price

Down key: Drop the price fast

Left and Right keys: Left and right movement

The pause menu could be used to toggle the music and to add the up key to rotate the pieces along with Z and X buttons.

Development

I made this game for The Great Autumn Game Jam: 2021

The game uses procedural generation to create the level. The maze is created first and templates are used to populate the level with assets.

This is my first game jam. It was really fun to work in Pico-8 with the theme of autumn and harvest season.

Special thanks to:

AndyGFX for share the procedural generation functions (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=3985)

Krystman for Porklike - Video Tutorial - Making a Roguelike in Pico-8 (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=33121) I used some functions from this tutorial and learned a lot

Have fun!
