Tetris But The Blocks Are Made of Sand (Setris Review)
The original game Setris got DMCA’d, the new version is called Sandtrix and can be downloaded here:
P.S. I spend the entire review calling this game Estris. I don’t know why it felt right to say that.

Just a note on the bag system comment. I hit up the dev and they responded “there is not because the tetromino shapes matter less than the colors. But you are more likely to get a useful color if you are losing... It’s not like the game is giving you only the pieces you need. You basically just get 1 random re-roll for a better piece if you are losing.“
So there is a seudo mercy system in place so it’s not going to stomp you so hard.

Setris is the answer to the question, what if Tetris was effed up beyond all recognition. The answer is, still a pretty awesome game. It turns out that Tetris is the COVID of videogames. The more you try and mess with it the more this analogy falls apart. All I’m saying is that Every Indy game these days is improved by sand physics. That’s what Noita taught me at least.
Setris is a java game published on by mslivo for the price of whatever you think it’s worth. Personally I think it’s worth a lot.
So yeah Tetris blocks in this game collapse into piles of sand. so there’s going to be no wells for doing a tetris into, and there’s no T-Spins or holds. This is classic tetris, if classic tetris was as stable as my employment prospects.
The rules are pretty easy, all you have to do is connect a single colour from the left hand edge of the screen with the right. Gravity is in full effect so once you destroy a row a cascade effect goes off, giving you the chance to pull off some pretty awesome combos. This really does feel like the perfect combonation of Puyo puyo tetris that puyo puyo tetris never bothered with.
Honestly if they wanted to skirt any potential lawsuits the block shapes are almost entirely arbitrary. Although if you replace the tetris blocks with I dunno, trumps face or something the novelty factor gets stripped away a bit. But it’s such a solid game that I feel like it should be able to stand on it’s own two feet without the clout of tetris to piggy back on.
There are 3 game modes and 5 difficulty settings. The difficulty changes the well depth and cranks the speed for maximum butt tightening while playing. I’d rate my butt at duck levels of tightness while playing the harder difficulties.
