Blobby is trapped! Avoid the falling blocks, or use them to build a path to the exit. The only way out is up!
Tetris Escape combines the classic puzzle game with some self-generated platforming goodness. We built it for the browser using PhaserJS, Aseprite, and Chiptone.
#### Use the arrow keys to move Blobby:
* ⇦ Move left
* ⇨ Move right
* ⇧ Jump
#### Hold SHIFT and use the arrow keys to move the blocks:
* ⇪ + ⇦ Move block left
* ⇪ + ⇨ Move block right
* ⇪ + ⇧ Rotate block
* ⇪ + ⇩ Move block down faster
#### What went well
* Simple-enough concept to get it done over the weekend
* Successfully married tile-based and physics-based movement
* First time using Aseprite, and I'm already sold!
#### What could have gone better
* I really wanted to make it so that full rows of blocks would disappear, but we just ran out of time
* Some collision detection wonk, especially when rotating blocks
* No win condition
Overall, pretty happy with the entry. Might spend some time tweaking collision mechanics over the next few weeks, but it feels OK for a weekend jam.
