use the first 7 columns for large blocks and last 3 for mini blocks. occassionally you'll need to put large blocks in the 3-wide. this worked pretty well for me until my controls stopped working for a sec. i had fun with this one!
the random apple generation does not use a mixed bag system for the columns any more, because i realized you can just drop only i pieces for free t*tris/all clears. however each column still has an equal chance of being chosen.
uploaded an update to snaketrible with the following fixes :
the random generation of “apples” has been improved. they will now spawn equally on each column with a mixed bag system, including in the middle.
locking a piece with any block above the board will now trigger a game over (for more clarity on how to lose in this specific game mode)
losing your piece ten times in a row, by colliding with another one or the side of the board, will now trigger a game over (in order to solve soft locks)
yeah i know there are tons of glitches in this one. i’m not sure how to solve this, maybe just trigger a game over if you lose your piece n times in a row
Rather than a game over, maybe move the food if you lose your piece a bunch of times. It's not a perfect fix, but it keeps you from being softlocked at least.
only if there is a valid spot for food onscreen! there are too many cases i can’t really predict right now so i think i’ll keep it to 10 deaths = defeat.
i feel like the game never spawns an "apple" in the middle columns unless it absolutely has to. this gets annoying at times. time to switch up my strategy...
nice trick! the apple generation is random but you’re like the tenth person to say it never spawns in the middle which is really starting to make me doubt myself about this! i’ll double check my code just to make sure
update : i was wrong. i told the apple to spawn on the board above any existing piece, but i included the current piece in “any existing piece” by mistake… meaning the apple would never spawn under the current piece, i.e in the middle. but hey, it’s fixed now!
dang i didn't know the game just times you out after a while. well either way here's a pretty solid score, i totally could've kept going though without the timer constraint. i'm loving this mode tho it is so much fun
protip : if you click “classic” on the top left hand side, you can switch between different timer modes, including “endless” with no timer, and “zero grav”, with no gravity. i only take high scores in classic mode tho!
This one's super fun! Here's my highest score so far :D Idk if you're planning on doing any re-runs of old versions, but if you are I've been missing pinball tetrible. That one was a blast!
holy cow i've only known about tetrible for a few weeks and i can't believe i missed out on pinball tetrible. i can't even imagine what it would be like but it sounds like it would be a blast
i’ve uploaded a new version of life tetrible. i couldn’t find all of the bugs so i ended up rewriting a bit of the codebase from scratch. it seems less buggy to me, what do you think?
I got 112 at this last night! Does that put me in first position? Quick update it before someone beats me! Oh btw, I was thinking if you added the name of the particular variant somewhere on screen, it would be good for keeping track of which version screenshots were taken during. Also I'm not sure what that red error message is about, but may be of interest to you.
yup, i’ll upload the high scores with your name. let’s see if it holds until next tuesday!
adding the name of the variant is not a bad idea, i’ll consider it. and the message itself is no big deal, but i should indeed have disabled that developer console!
Very fun, too bad there's a bunch of annoying bugs. I encountered a bunch of ghost tiles/dead pixels that actually didn't have any collision. And I also had some lines that didn't clear (I assume it was caused by a ghost tile being present in the line). Would love to see a fixed version

died by hold on this one
127 lines
uh... what
random death, i did not use hold key
this is because if there is a high block and you hold soft drop and then do hard drop, the next piece will place really fast
hi everyone, thanks for your patience! i swear i’ll have the versions rotate automatically someday….
Yo is this still going on?
he must've forgot today
this one is still super laggy :c
but even with that, 174.5
starting it off with 32.5
game lags a lot with large pieces.
use the first 7 columns for large blocks and last 3 for mini blocks. occassionally you'll need to put large blocks in the 3-wide. this worked pretty well for me until my controls stopped working for a sec. i had fun with this one!
yeah i know, i’ll try to fix that at some point but optimization is always tricky
@henriforshort what time zone do you live in, just wonderin
i’m in france, but also: i’m late more often than not
i'll drop an early score this time
76 lines
good game (long tetrible 3)
just a heads up, you forgot to change the gif
thanks nick
yay you finally fixed the combos!
uhhhhh i just uploaded an old version because i forgot we were tuesday. but hey, i’m glad you like it! :D
this one pretty much ended up being "make O pieces" cause I pieces were unreliable
56 lines
i got 40... so close
I really like this one, even if I can't get past this 35
another update :
uploaded an update to snaketrible with the following fixes :
my best so far for snaketrible
impressive!
i’m crediting you as seckswrecks in the description if that’s ok for you
new personal best on the up to date version, 35

If you build a vertical wall, it's possible for the "food" to spawn on the other side, softlocking you forever.

i might have just been unlucky, but it still seems to be the case, just less so. anyways, heres my pb as of rn
tip: use squares

time to throw in my score for this week c:
122 lines
adding another high score for this week's battle >:)
and had a bug
if 19 lines or more filled
then will count as achieve secret grade
like this
uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
congrats i guess hahahahaha
now do a kirbtris lol

Very, very annoying bug: pressing soft drop also triggers hold.
not for me, check your keybinds.
did the issue persist after double-checking your keybinds?
this game is getting more and more like puyo puyo every day... starting it off with 44 lines
almost completely forgot to check in this week, and this sure was a tough one to play, rotations get really fast once you go past 100 lines
still managed to squeeze out a score of 138 tho
incredible as always!
pretty dang proud of this score
I'm really trying to break 100.
This is frustrating. I LOVE IT.
I hate this. I'm bookmarking it. Gonna come back to it and try to beat my score.
Phenomenal work.
imgur link because itch hates uploads I guess.

congrats! i’m crediting you as “MidoriMushrooms” in the high scores if that’s okay for you
That's fine... Also, thanks, heh. I can do much better though.
looking forward to it!
a
almost!
throwing down a score for this week now

uploaded another version of life tetrible, fixing the ghost pieces above the board
terrible idea: "auto rotate tetrible"
self explanatory. rules:
1. you can't rotate
2. the game rotates for you every so often
from a coding pov, this idea should be fairly easy to implement. if you want, rotating could become more frequent as the gravity increases.
i like this one
just uploaded another version of life tetrible, without the dev console and i also fixed the glitch that caused the pieces to have weird colors

I like it. I got 107 too. Is there somewhere to play the previous week's versions?
hi, there’s only one version available at a time. but i change it every tuesday, and sometimes rerun the old ones!

Hi there's an alpha build of trifoil you can test if still interested. Post in https://andrew-jones.itch.io/trifoil and I'll give you a link

it certainly works a lot better now, the only thing that bugs out a little now is pieces sticking out of the top when a line gets cleared
i’m not sure what you mean by this, do you have a screenshot?
here you go
as you can see the bit of the T piece that was sticking out the top of the field remains there, not solid
i see. i’ll give it a look tomorrow
Very fun, too bad there's a bunch of annoying bugs.
I encountered a bunch of ghost tiles/dead pixels that actually didn't have any collision. And I also had some lines that didn't clear (I assume it was caused by a ghost tile being present in the line). Would love to see a fixed version
I second this, the idea is great and I enjoyed it but the consistent ghost tiles and missed lines are a bit annoying
107 on life tetrible
