About Dwelltris
DWELLTRIS is a new take on the classic block-spinning, line-clearning, high-scoring games involving tetrominoes!
Your primary goal in DWELLTRIS is to prevent the “Core Stability” from reaching 0%. This is accomplished by clearing lines and crushing blocks.
WHAT MAKES DWELLTRIS UNIQUE?
- Blocks can be cleared both horizontally and vertically by forming lines that wrap all the way around the sphere.
- The Dark-colored blocks can also be slammed onto light-colored blocks to crush them. This will gain you a little extra time and Core Stability.
- When the Core Stability reaches 0%, its Game Over. This means that lines must be cleared at a steady rate as time goes on.
All of this together means that DWELLTRIS tends to have fast rounds with aggressive and frenzied action.
OTHER NOTABLE FEATURES:
- Strange and moody art style inspired by distant dreams and distorted memories.
- Alternative game modes to play in new ways beyond just the DWELLTRIS mode.
- Gameplay modifiers for bending the rules to create new challenges.
- Dark ambient SFX that punctuate the gameplay.
- And more!
This game originally started as a fun personal challenge to make a Tetris-like game in a week before becoming something more. DWELLTRIS is the work of my own hands and brain, and is a tribute to my love of Tetris, Lumines, and other games involving funny falling blocks.
