    Tetris, but silly2022 · unit520.net · ▲389

    Hi HN, I’m a chemical engineer and I manage logistics at a refinery down in Texas.

I had this idea about a month ago and built the game in my spare time. I think it is a bit more difficult compared to Tetris. You kind of have to get used to "think diagonally". Maybe it can be a nice little challenge for you. I'd be happy to receive some feedback. Thanks!
