Descentris

Description

*Descentris* is a reverse Tetris game where instead of building a tower, you have to go deeper down and uncover buried treasure and occasionally bomb your way to the deepest depths. The deeper you go, the more treacherous your journey will be

Features

- Sleek, minimalist design
- Moody music!
- Every run a new seed

How to play

Place your pieces by hitting [SPACE]. They always must connect to the initial shaft, the one on the top of the screen.

But beware, with each piece you place, the screen scrolls further down. If you can't keep up, it's game over.

To collect treasure and bombs to along the way, just place your piece on top of them.

Some rocks you can blast, provided you have a bomb to do so. Just move your cursor over the obstacle and hit [SPACE] to place. If you can't blast an obstacle, it's too hard and you need to go around it.

A game by Phil Strahl a.k.a. Pixel Prophecy made in 48 hrs. I had a good start but polishing and data structures kept me busy for too long. Sorry for the bare-bones experience.
