About the Game

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.
