I had a shower thought of a fun PlayDate game idea the other day and have been spending the last few evenings getting the basics working.

The idea is a legally distinct tetromino block stacker, but the base is. 4x4 platform that can be rotated with the PlayDate’s crank.

So far, it’s pretty fun! There are some bugs that I think might be fun features (like blocks getting smeared across the board if you rotate the platform just as they’re locking in to place — could be a neat trick if you know it, or an infuriating bug otherwise).

I think I’ll keep at it, build out some difficulty progression (even if it’s just the blocks falling faster as your score increases) and see where experimentation takes me!
