the challenge comes from the fact that if an I piece doesn't come as piece #100, you wasted your time.

fraaankie's alive!!!

would you pay for tuning on nullpomino?

updated some stuff, please report any bugs.

Adding some new stuff to it at the moment so expect an update in the future (hopefully 1-2 weeks).

@wojtek- I'm in the process of redoing the multiplayer part to make it easier to play with others.

@Jarx- the sounds are actually probably playing correctly. I didn't have any sound files to use when I made the game so those were the first ones i found. I will try to get new ones later. The other things you mentioned sound awesome, but it would take me a very long time to build something like that without help.

@vyborg- Yes. There should be download links at the bottom of the original post. Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

I've gotten some good feedback so far so I've decided to let everyone try the beta. Download links are in the OP. Leave some comments on what you would like to see changed and I'll see what I can do.

Sounds good to me. What are the das/ar levels like? As good as bb/np?

I actually used the BombStepper game to mod into this game so the Tetris part plays similar to that one.

DAS is customizable from 3-12 I think.
AR can either be 1 or instant.

Is it just me or does the Two-wide skill not look useful? But yes, it's looking great. Though 100% garbage looks brutal.

2 wide actually sends to the opponents field and makes them have to fill the gap before they can do anything. it would be terrible to use it on yourself.

@mario

You can play without a connection but its not as fun to play by yourself. In the first video I'm playing against myself but basically its impossible to win. Anything you do will get sent right back too you. Currently there is no AI to play against.

@paul

I believe its SRS spins with the exception that 180 kicks dont work.

@paradox

Currently there are 3 ways to get mana. Regen over time, perform combos, and use the more mana skill. I'm still working on trying to balance the game better so things may change over time.


Some differences in this game from other games:

There isnt garbage blocking/canceling right now. When you receive garbage, all of it will add after 1 second.

The game follows TOJ garbage rules except that combos are capped at sending 3 lines/line clear.

100% random garbage.

added a video of the game so you guys can see what its like.

I think beta testing is better suited to other people, but is the gameplay something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuyGswDpizo ? Either way, I'm really looking forward to this, it sounds very exciting.

It actually plays very similar to that game, but on a much faster pace since there are no line clear delays and no animations that stop the game.

I'm looking for people who want to beta test a new tetris game I'm working on. Currently it has multiplayer but it  only works over lan so you would need to either have something like hamachi or tunngle if you want to play over the internet.

The game plays like a normal vs game except you gain mana and when you have enough mana, you can use skills. The skills can alter your field or your opponents field or do other different things. That's the general idea of the game so far.

If you think you would be interested in testing the game and giving feedback, reply to this thread or send me a PM. There are a limited number of spots for beta testers so don't feel bad if I don't pick you. If all goes well, the game will be released to the general public in about a week.

edit: I'm looking for players of all skill levels.

I've decided to give everyone who wants to try the game a chance to play. You can download it here.
Windows Download.
Mac Download

For those people who are looking for someone to play against, I have created a Tunngle room for people to meet up.
Name:TOV
Password: harddrop

For OSX users, you will have to use a service such as Hamachi since Tunngle is not currently supported on OSX.

If you have trouble connecting to the other players, be sure to allow java through your firewall.
