Mutatris - it's Tetris(like)... but a bit different! I started this Sunday morning 'cos my Saturday project wasn't going anywhere and I thought it'd be interesting to create a Tetris clone.
Every 10 seconds the mutation rate increases unless you take out a line, taking out a line reduces the mutation and resets the timer, but this reprieve is always short lived!
The web version displays a blank dialogue at the end of the game, this is supposed to show 'Game over' and your score, it does on the Java releases so I'm not sure what GWT is doing there! just press space or return to start again.
Loved it. Great theme....it's a difficult game though. At first, I thought mutations would be no problem, but once you've got one or two of them, it's really hard to fill the rows, meaning spiralling death awaits you. It would be nice to have a way to 'demutate' the pieces (maybe for slagging multiple rows at once?)
Interesting idea, but still really just Teris, try thinking outside the box and go for something a bit more original next time. +1 for using LibGDX, though! :)
Great concept. It is to play this kind of game that I enjoy participating in events like LudumDare. If you could find a way to "tailor" the mutations to make the game less hard, you'd have a great basis for a very successful game.
hahahahaha it's impossible to hang in there, it really makes it fun. I just would suggest that you maintain the basic tetris pieces in order to try to recover the mess that the mutated pieces create. Great one!
whoa. get's quite hard, when there are more then three mutations. Maybe there would be a way to make "easier" mutations, that fit well with the existing tetris scheme.
Really great game. Really funny and fun to play. Completely unplayable after a few iterations of mutation - of course - but that's exactly what makes it so great.
I've played a few Tetris-from-hell variants over the years but this one stands out as one of the best. A simple evil idea, nicely implemented.

Oh maaan, even a single mutation thingie is sufficient to totally throw me off. Reminds me of the good old game boy times ^^

The mutations do kinda make the game impossible after a while, but they're an interesting take on the classic game.
Nice job :)
Great one!
