About the Game

Stack pieces. Clear lines. Slay monsters.

Tetrogue blends the satisfying rhythm of falling-block puzzles with the strategic depth of a roguelike. Every piece you place is a weapon — clear lines to deal damage, chain combos for devastating strikes, and watch enemies crumble as your relic build comes together.

Navigate a branching map through three stages of increasingly dangerous dungeons. Choose your path wisely: take on elite enemies for greater relics, trigger events that shift the run in unexpected directions, or conserve strength for the boss that waits at the end of each stage.

Features

  • 10 unique enemy types — Every slime has its own special ability: board manipulation, status effects, and surprises that force you to adapt mid-battle.

  • 3 stages with unique bosses — Each dungeon culminates in a boss encounter that tests your relic build to its absolute limits.

  • 50+ relics — Stack relic synergies, chain powerful effects, and forge a build that feels entirely your own across every run.

  • Gem fusion system — Collect and fuse gems to unlock potent combat bonuses that integrate directly into your piece-placing strategy.

  • Events and encounters — Narrative events and challenge encounters dot the map. Some offer powerful relics, some demand a sacrifice — choose carefully.

  • Metaprogression — Permanent upgrades carry between runs, steadily unlocking new relics, bonuses, and possibilities for future attempts.

  • Infinitely scaling difficulty — Mastered the gauntlet? Push further. The challenge never stops escalating for those brave enough to keep going.

  • Challenge Runs — 9 optional run-long modifiers let you twist the rules for an extra challenge or a completely different way to play.

  • Achievements & Tetrédex — Chase 36 achievements and fill out the Tetrédex, a growing bestiary of every enemy you've encountered.

  • Built for everyone — Full controller support, colorblind-friendly accessibility palettes, and translations in English, German, French, Spanish, and Turkish.
