Look, I'm pretty reasonable at Tetris. I'm not one of those grand masters or anything, but I can both have fun and get a score that would at least make my hypothetical nephew impressed (assuming he also wouldn't be in the Roblox mines). Sometimes, though, a take on the beautiful block game rocks up that makes me question any such skills I may have. Today, that is ROTERA, a block stacking game in which you must manage tetronimos falling from four directions at once.

This is both easier and harder than you might think. A round starts off fine, with the usual format of random tetronimos falling down from the top, with the option to spin them for optimum slotting, making them move faster, or dropping them instantly. And then after a few successful lines, blocks start falling from another side. To deal with that side, you must rotate it to the top, absconding your control of the previous falling block. That doesn't stop it from falling, of course, so you must constantly keep on your toes.

Here's my next game, ROTETRA, a tetromino stacker where you spin the whole board and juggle multiple pieces at once! It's a little bit cursed, but I've been having fun making it! Play the demo (and wishlist 👉👈): store.steampowered.com/app/4306820/... also, on web: sharkwithlasers.itch.io/rotetra

As you rotate back and forth between the two directions, you might start to build up complete rows that get stored up until you rotate into a particular direction, releasing themselves into the aether, adding onto your score total.
