Game mechanics:

Game mechanics are inspired by a well-known tetromino block spatial games with an aim to complete a horizontal line made of blocks. The player has a choice of 2 blocks in classic and co-op mode and 4 in workout mode. After picking a block with a hand using the vive wand or index knuckle trigger buttons the other block disappears.
The player has 5 seconds to pick a block and 5 seconds to place inside a frame.
If time runs out the player uses one life. The player starts with 3 lives.
Upon releasing a block by releasing the trigger button the block snaps into place within the frame.
Blocks come in well-known tetromino shapes but created in 3D dimensions for VR.
Upon completion of a horizontal line, a line disappears and the player scores a point for each rectangular block part placed by him within the line. In co-op mode player completing the line gets double point value of parts placed.
Each horizontal line has is made of 10 rectangular slots.
