Puzzle game 'Setris' in which I think it is Tetris and blocks collapse like sand is a swamp game that is more difficult than it looks



Tetris , one of the standard falling puzzles, is a game in which blocks of various shapes (Tetriminos) are combined and piled up, and when one level of Tetriminos is filled without gaps, the entire level disappears. The most disturbing thing in playing Tetris is the ``gap between blocks'', but since Tetrimino is made of sand, it collapses and the gap disappears when installed, a Tetris-like puzzle game. I discovered ' Setris ' so I played it.

Access the above URL and click 'Download Now' at the top of the page.



Then the following screen will be displayed. You can donate any amount as a charity to the creator of Setris, or you can download the game for free by clicking 'No thanks, just take me to the downloads'.



Setris has Windows and Linux versions, and at the time of writing the article, the data size of the Windows version was 59 MB and the data size of the Linux version was 61 MB. Click the Windows version this time to download.



When the download is complete, unzip the ZIP format game file with Windows standard function or dedicated software.



When the decompression is completed, double-click 'Setris-1.2.exe' in the folder to start it.



Then Setris begins with

BGM that you have heard somewhere . Press A to start the game.



The available game modes are ``Marathon'' where you can erase blocks infinitely until the game is over, ``Ultra'' where you advance the game while removing a specified number of blocks within the time limit, and 40 stages of blocks. Three of '40 Lines' competing for time to delete. In 'Level', you can choose the difficulty level of the game from 5 levels, and the more you go to the right, the faster the block falls. The decision button on the mode selection screen is the A key. Select 'Start' to start the game.



The Setris game screen looks something like this, and the blocks fall with the same shape as Tetris. You can use the left and right arrow keys to move the block, the ↑ or A key to rotate the block, and the ↓ key to drop the block. You can also pause the game with the P key.



When the block fell into the field, the shape collapsed due to gravity.



Assuming this collapse, we will stack the blocks. Arrange the yellow blocks 'to cover the top of the mountain'.




Then, the yellow sand crumbled and disappeared to the left and right edges of the screen. Tetris has a rule that ``If one row of Tetriminos is filled without gaps, the row disappears entirely. It is a rule that the sand disappears when it is connected to.



When you actually play it, the blocks become sand and collapse, so the sand of the color you want to connect is buried in sand of another color and forms a desperate layer like the following. .



However, as long as it is connected, sand of the same color can be erased at once, so it is possible to delete sand that has spread across multiple layers as shown below in one shot. It was a system that was easy to start and reverse.



So, you can check how Setris was actually played in mode 'Marathon' and level '1' in the following video. When playing, there are many scenes where the sand of the color you want to erase is buried and you can not erase the sand as you imagined, but if you manage to stick somehow, the moment when the sand disappears at once comes. It's more sticky than I imagined.

I tried playing Tetris-style puzzle game 'Setris' where blocks collapse like sand (level: 1)-YouTube


The video below shows that I tried playing at level 5, the highest difficulty level, because level 1 was too easy. The real difficulty of Setris comes out that the block falling speed is too fast & you have to drop the block differently from normal Tetris.

Setris is a completely different game from Tetris when you play it, and the more you play, the more you find your own strategy, such as `` if you create mountains and valleys, you can save unnecessary blocks in that part '' Setris If you are interested, please try playing it.
