Tetris Fight Club Play online (Flash):Updated build with musicAs submitted to Versus competitionAI vs. AI videoStarted for MiniLD 24, theme "Tetris is now a <genre other than puzzle> game!". Thanks to Sos for motivating me to start it and to everyone who playtested it. Original post: Not very happy with the jump attack for a few reasons including that if both players try to jump at the same time that is more than 3 keys pressed at once. But not sure what to do about that.Have only managed to play one game with another human (embarrassingly, he wiped the floor with me) so reports of trying it out with two people would be really helpful.Better name suggestions welcomed.

Try mapping player 2 controls to the arrow keys, that way you can get around the generic 3 key limit for keyboards.

I was under the impression that the arrow keys were also affected by that issue.
Wondering if any musicians want to make a mashup of the Mortal Kombat theme and Tetris music.

Updated: both players now start with 10 lives and the round finishes when one player runs out. Also added a sort of introduction. Wanted to get differently shaped blocks done tonight, but didn't have enough time.

Updated again. People were having issues with keys interfering with each other when one player charged up a jump so I've moved to a three-button system. Don't think I like this new control scheme much, but can't see much of an alternative.

This was a fun little game. I played it with my brother and we had a good time. The jump felt a bit underused, though, since it takes just long enough to charge that you're already dead, unless it's the first thing you do - are there any techniques that make better use of it?

Not that I'm really aware of, however I've found when someone starts charging the jump when I'm not expecting it, I often don't have time to react. So it's a risky strategy but it can sometimes pay off even at short ranges.
I am not opposed to replacing the jump behaviour but currently don't have any alternatives in mind. It needs to have a long charge-up time because it gets past blocks.
Glad you had fun!

I love how slamming them into the wall removes a line.

I BEAT IT  difficulty was ridiculous, it took a very long time to get a hang of the metagame before i beat him. It would be very very good to put in a flash or something right as the jump starts charging so it's more obvious, otherwise it's really the problem. |

Yeah that's super hard. Won a couple of rounds out of about 10. I think it's probably just too aggressive, for beginners at least. And when it does defend it immediately capitalises when you attack it and bounce off, which seems like a pretty advanced tactic?

New version!Changed the jump mechanic completely, now there's no more charge jump, jump still beats block but attack beats jump. I would really appreciate feedback on this change, especially two-player feedback if you can grab a friend. AI difficulty noted: this has a new AI which is hopefully better? Though probably still quite hard... The old version still has the old AI.

Whoa, the AI is still pretty hard. It's a cool concept, though. The jump could use a little explaining -- I kept trying to tap it and then press attack, fighting-game style.
Do the different blocks shapes affect the game much, or is it all visual?
EDIT: actually, I think I'm getting the hang of this. Different AI levels could be helpful, even if they're "fake" -- as in, just weakening the strength of their attacks. It seems like it's at a good place for someone who's played a couple of rounds, but it's definitely pretty tough for those first few tries.

God that AI is pretty hard. So if I figured this out right, attack beats jump, jump beats block, block beats attack? It's pretty fun  LOLZ at RPGMaker sound effect  Good job. Loved being able to select and turn my piece, and how winning a round makes a coloumn disappear. |
