Tetris Variant in a Rotating / Flipping Square

A unique block-dropping puzzle game where clearing lines transforms the board. Clear vertical lines to rotate, horizontal lines to flip. Can you adapt to the changing board?

In plain words

Tetris Variant in a Rotating/Flipping Square is a puzzle game that puts a spin on the classic Tetris formula by incorporating rotating and flipping mechanics within a square playing field. The game is designed for players who enjoy block-based puzzle challenges and want a fresh take on the traditional Tetris gameplay. It distinguishes itself through its focus on rotation and flip mechanics, which add new strategic depth to piece placement and board management.

    Angularis – like Tetris, but based on triangles2022 · angularis.mondaybits.com · ▲106

    Angularis is a game similar to Tetris, but based on triangles instead of squares. Which is why it also has diagonal movements. 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!

    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...

    I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024.
