Tetris Reimagining

This is a twist on classic Tetris.

Players move and rotate falling blocks to clear lines, but some blocks are infected and spread contamination to nearby normal blocks. Special antidote blocks can purify infected areas, and players can save useful pieces with the hold system for later.

Controls

Left / Right Arrow or A / D: Move

Down Arrow or S: Soft drop

Up Arrow / W / X: Rotate

Space: Hard drop

C: Hold / swap piece

R: Restart

Player Goal

Clear lines, manage the spread of contamination, and survive as long as possible.

Lose Conditions

The stack reaches the top of the board

All normal blocks are consumed by contamination

Playtest Question

Did you feel like the antidote and hold mechanics gave you meaningful ways to manage the infection?
