A Tetris-clone powered by the bell0bytes game engine.
Download and Configuration
To download and install the game, either the Windows installer or the 7z-file containing the game data and the executable can be used.
Resolution
The current build should work with every screen resolution, the game was designed to look best on a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080, however.
Gamepad
To enable gamepad support, set the apprioate flag in the preference file to "true". This file can be found in your "My Documents" folder, under "bell0bytes/SvH/Settings/".
Gameplay Features
The Oracle
As long as the oracle is active, the landing position (if left alone) of the currently active Tetronimo is displayed on the board.
Shift / Switch
An unwanted Tetronimo can be switched for the "next" Tetronimo. This can't be done twice in a row though.
