First things first. Oh boy, that was a long pause since my last update<\/a> which was like hundred and fifty years ago. For those of you lazy clickers, I was talking about some changes to my project 1941, which was on hiatus. The main change was introducing a multiplayer feature which would let you play it with a friend.<\/p>\n

So what happened? Quite a lot actually. As life would have it, many responsibilites and the always present lack of time. I changed jobs, got my engineering degree, and lots of other time stealing things, but basically little to no time for game development. But enough about that. We don’t want to get bored to death, don’t we? Now I am in a position to be able to make more room for the game development. And game development it is!<\/p>\n

For the last month I was coding a Tetris game. Boy, was that fun! I wrote the main game logic in JavaScript so it was runnable in a browser. Then it hit me, why not share this fun with you, my dudes? I decided to publish it on Android devices and the Google’s Play Store. I am currently finishing a version for itch.io as well. I used the Ionic framework to be able to targed mobile devices, which was convenient since I was interested in Ionic for a while now. I needed to adapt the codebase to TypeScript but that was no problem.<\/p>\n

You can play the browser version here<\/a>. The mobile version is in review right now and it will be available soon on Google’s store, but you can get the APK right now here<\/a>. Don’t forget to enable installation of external apps for the apk.<\/p>\n

EDIT: Tetrolino is available on the Google Play Store.<\/p>\n

The game is casual and minimalistic, but has all the features that define this type of game, plus it has some nice sound effects and voices. The description from Google’s application store says the following:<\/p>\n

“A game we all grew up with. A timeless classic everyone has played at least once. Now distilled and presented to you for your casual pleasure. Free as in free beer. Enjoy!<\/em>“<\/p>\n

The way you control your tetrolinos should be intuitive:<\/p>\n
