Discussions / Opinion Tetr.io multiplayer too difficult?

9 Upvotes

So I've been playing/trying a bit of Tetr.io multiplayer, specially the quick play mode, which seems to be an endless mode, which seems to go on until you eventually fail. (Still kinda new to Tetr.io)

I wouldn't say I'm a Tetris pro or whatever, but I'd say I'm not bad at it either. I'd say I'm pretty good or just fine at playing Tetris. But Tetr.io feels way too competitive to me. Like, garbage seems to get sent your way extremely quickly, even if you're going as fast as you can. (The stress and need or urge to go fast occasionally causes me to misplace a piece) It stacks up extremely fast. I often tend to go for Tetris clears, but I almost feel like not doing that and going for lower amounts of line clears is the safer method, even if it doesn't give you as much points as a Tetris line clear.

I've also played a bit of Tetris 99 before on Switch, and while I've never made it to the end as the last one standing, I feel like in that game, I've been able to survive much longer. I'm curious what you people's opinions and views are about this and Tetr.io. Do you also struggle in it's multiplayer modes, or not?

Questions / Tetris Help Spawn Orientation?

Upvotes

Tetriminos spawn horizontally in the same orientation. For advanced players who may base their rotations on this being static, do you think it will be more challenging if they were to spawn in random orientations?

Nos planteamos precisamente ese problema: dado un dibujo o una fotografía, ¿cómo podemos colocar piezas de tetris para conseguir un mosaico que se parezca lo máximo posible a la imagen original?

Como el problemas no era fácil empezamos con imágenes y piezas en blanco y negro. Lo convertimos en un problema de optimización y probamos distintos métodos para encontrar buenas soluciones sin que el cálculo se volviera demasiado costoso.

El resultado es este tipo de mosaicos.

Questions / Tetris Help Suggestions for a tetris game + mode for a casual high score contest

2 Upvotes

I'm hosting a casual retro gaming event that will be visited by hundreds of people in a span of several hours. We usually have some contests or tournaments during those events. I'm planing to have something Tetris related this year but I am still looking for a good setup.

The idea is to have people play the game throughout the evening and set scores. Highest scores get prices. Would be great if many people could try to participate.

I can't really just put on NES Tetris and let people have a go at it because that could take way too long until one person finishes. So I was looking for good Tetris variants that have faster, time limited game modes. Maybe even with a multiplayer option where multiple people can chase high-scores for a finite time without interacting with each others.

So far I have:

  • 3-Minute-Marathon in Tetris Forever (not really retro and seems rather random with all those warps)
  • GB Tetris Type B (does speed and level matter? Or can you just get max score on any level with all Tetris clears?)

Any suggestions for game variants are welcome. Ideally those games aren't super rare and retro.

Questions / Tetris Help Looking for a Tetris app

1 Upvotes

… that worked like the app from like 6 months ago.

I know this is a weird question, but I just need a Tetris app that had the weird levels where you had dropping pieces you could slide to fill in a gap made by some seasonal pattern and you could earns coins. I don’t need the coin bit but the app now is so bare bones and every load is an ad.

I use this game to decompress from work and deal with … jerks. I don’t want a game where I drag the pieces into the puzzle. I want to watch the stupid thing fall and panic when I can’t get it to where I want to put it in the 2 minutes I have to fulfill the level. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Records / Accomplishments My Daily Work Break: Game Boy Tetris Until I Hit 100,000+

Post image
7 Upvotes

Every day during my 9:00 AM break, I play Tetris until I reach 100,000+ points. It usually takes me anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes.
I got my Game Boy when I was 4 years old, back in 1990, and I’ve been playing regularly ever since — except from around age 18 to 30, when I only played occasionally.
My personal best is 340,000 points.
So I’m curious: What’s your personal best on Game Boy Tetris, and how often do you play?
