Tetris, but silly

Hello HN! You can read this [1] blog post if you want to know more about some ideas that I have for this thing. This is just an experiment right now, there isn't any real game (yet). Any feedback would be appreciated, do you think this could become something that would be fun to play? [1] https://unit520.net/posts/dead-trees-an-absurdist-block-layi...

Tetris, but silly launched on May 5, 2022 with 389 votes, #22 of 2,942 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

In plain words

Tetris, but silly is an experimental block-laying game concept currently in early development. It takes inspiration from the classic Tetris formula but applies absurdist humor to the gameplay. The project is not yet a fully playable game, but the creator is exploring unconventional mechanics and inviting feedback on whether the concept could become genuinely fun to play. It is designed for players interested in creative twists on familiar game formats.
