Addtris+++ [Now with post Compo Update] by 5you
It's all in the title ! A Tetris like game with a twist : blocks get added and the more you have, the worse it is ! Also you can pick your next block, just to make it a little fair.
GameA = real experience, buggy.
GameB = works fine, more classic. (NOT THE SAME ENGINE)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Addtris+++ is a GemToy game ! What's GemToy you ask ? It's a handheld console that's in your phone, and is (just a little) inspired by a good old retro pocket console. Addtris+++ is a GemToy game. I know I said it already but now you can understand that I already had the code for the GemToy, so my compo for this LD is the game itself.
Everything is explained in the game, I think it's all somewhat obvious!

Windows vesion : You can play by clicking on your screen (why not) or using those unpractical keys: up/down/left/right = up/down/left/right space = A Ctrl = B Alt = Start Shift = Select Enter = Power

PS: Turns out you need a Mac to make a iPhone game so no iPhone version. Send me an Apple computer if you want one ;)

I think one of my pieces got stuck in the wall and never gave me a line.
I really enjoyed the music, and the controls worked great!
The Art and sound were very nice!
The overall game was a bit plagued by a few simple glitches, but overall I was able to get through it :).
Overall it gives a great retro handheld vibe, with a music that fits perfectly.
The pivoting of the pieces is a bit problematic, because it seems to pivot on a single point, which is not the case with tetris: the piece's stays in the same x position. Why is that a problem? If you ever need to change the rotation at the last second before it clicks with your placed pieces, you can't because it finds itself stuck with pieces already places. Furthermore, if you ever need to pivot nearby a wall, you can't, because it finds itself stuck.
Otherwise, game is fun, the vibe I get from it is nice too, good job!
Other than that, some pretty neat additions to the tetris formula.
Definitely worth checking out.
As I said, the game is buggy and I am very conscious about that ! Please try Game B for a better experience (but an experience that explores less in term of gameplay).
The reason for that is that I totally changed how the shapes are made so it couls create an infinite amount of them, compared to Game B where they are all pre-drawn.
I could have repaired most of the bugs, but hey, this is a 38h project, I didn't have the time !
Good job!
Where i can preorder the Gemtoy? haha
PS: I recommend you upload the builds in itch.io (You have analytics, multiple builds support and even built-in web player), instead of this weird thing
I think I noticed an occasional bug when placing the shapes where more blocks would be set than the ones on the shape, but other than that it all felt pretty solid.
Congratulations!
Also, I found persistent dialogue/tutorial text really funny.
A very original idea.
