Tetris has one of the best game designs in history, and I’ve always had fun playing it, so it was a perfect fit for a remake.
For this purpose I have used again the awesome Love2D framework and Zerobrane Studio. Making the classical Tetris gameplay to work was a bit more complicated than I’ve anticipated, therefore I’ve developed this game in two parts: the first part in the evening and the next part at the morning. I’ve recorded a timelapse video while doing it, and later edited it in YouTube.
