Diatris

Diatris

Michael Probst July 18, 2019

I suck at Tetris, and I suck even more at Diatris, a Tetris-inspired game. Diatris takes a fun spin on the classic game by taking the iconic pieces and arranging them diagonally for more difficult challenge. The game also has a modernized, minimalist look (which I really love) and features fun particle effects that make clearing a row extremely satisfying. Everything about this game looks great and so does its download page on itch - Rob truly has a keen eye for aesthetics.

The only thing I would change to the game is to add a mechanic for saving a block - like in Tetris. If that feature already exists, it isn’t easy to figure out. I could see why this feature was intentionally left out, but really I just try to have any sort of suggestion for how to further develop the game and this was the only thing I could come up wtih.

This really is a fun game and if anyone reads this, they should check it out - especially if you like Tetris!

Thanks for the game, Rob!
