By placing Tetris blocks. But &#8220;You Only Get One&#8221; each turn. After each placing phase there will be a platforming phase. to switch between the phases press:\u00a0<strong>enter\/return.<\/strong><\/p>\n <p><strong>How to play<\/strong><\/p>\n <p><img alt=\"Placement view\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/PlaceView-300x167.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" \/><\/p>\n <p>In the placing phase you can move the Tetris block with W &amp; S, and rotate the field by A &amp; \u00a0D<br \/>\n one you like the position you just press enter\/return\u00a0and the block will start moving while you are in platformer perspective.<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Platform.png\"><img alt=\"Platform View\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Platform-300x168.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n once the block stopped moving or got destroyed because it didn&#8217;t hit anything you can press enter\/return to position a new Tetris block. so on till you made it till the end.<\/p>\n <p><strong>My Experience:<\/strong><br \/>\n Tetris Jump was my first successful Ludum Dare.<br \/>\n Previously I wanted to do to much in too little time, but this time we took a doable concept that was realizable within the 72 hours of the Jam. I worked together with Peter Vrieling and Cristian Calin. Peter provided me with the models and textures and Cristian with the Music.<br \/>\n And me would be Roy Schroder doing the programming. I do have to say that \u00a0it feels good to have a team that is willing to help and make something awesome. I would like to keep this team together for later jams.<\/p>\n <p><strong>What went well:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Doable Project<\/li>\n <li>Time Available<\/li>\n <li>Good team Members<\/li>\n <li>Created something new<\/li>\n <li>Was able to give my own twist to theme<\/li>\n <li>Satisfied<\/li>\n <li>reused models a lot so modeler doesn&#8217;t have to create a ton of assets<\/li>\n <li>Product almost portfolio ready<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><strong>What went wrong:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Didn&#8217;t fix all bugs<\/li>\n <li>Wanted to program the game in a nice manner making things overly complex<\/li>\n <li>Did not manage to add in score system and HUD, even though \u00a0the game provided all need variables for it.<\/li>\n <li>Worked separated with the team members.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p><strong>How to improve:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Work with team members at one location.<\/li>\n <li>Make (some) UML Diagrams before making.<\/li>\n <li>Try to reward the player more.<\/li>\n <li>Make the game easier to play.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><strong>What I learned:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Sleep is for the weak<\/li>\n <li>I can program while being drunk<\/li>\n <li>live streaming doesn&#8217;t really help you get other people involved with your project<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p><strong>How I spend my time:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Programming: 30 h<\/li>\n <li>Sleep: 10 h<\/li>\n <li>Partying: 8 h<\/li>\n <li>Eating: 4 h<\/li>\n <li>Traveling: 3 h<\/li>\n <li>Buying secondhand Kinect: 3 h<\/li>\n <li>Brainstorming: 2 h<\/li>\n <li>Showering: 0h<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p><strong>What now?<\/strong><\/p>\n <p>Shower, Sleep and Rating Games.
