A five-block tetris variant with an unusual collapse mechanism; pieces retain their structure after they have landed. Try to chain lines together to form combos for maximum points!

Interesting

So this was a different take on the tetris world still a fun falling puzzle game here and you gave it that unique style buy mixing it up and adding in your own little twists and that was pretty fun and thats what I did enjoy about this one, so for me a twist of twtris and a nice mix of good graphics along with some fun gameplay all around so please do make more to this

I've wanted to see this for a long time, just to know what it was like... a Tetris game where the most basic element, the number four, had been changed. Now that I've seen it, I wish I hadn't. I give you an A for effort and bonus points for naming the game correctly (well, I would have gone with Pentris, but who cares?) Unfortunately, it just isn't fun. Sad, but true. I still like it though, so 7/10.

hmmm

it was a good shot, i mean but i found that the peices just werent right alot of work went into this so i gave you a 6 but when it all comes down to it, originals like tetris should not be messed with.

Well.

I don't quite understand your 'unusual' collapse mechanism.
It works exactly like Tetris.

Cathelius responds:

In Tetris, the pieces are stuck together as soon as they land; they can never fall further than one row, for example. In pentrix, the pieces retain their structure internally, but are not stuck to the rest of the pieces. Hence, they can fall into holes in the rows below, forming combos.

Great!

A nice new remix for the classical Tetris game. Good graphics, gameplay, controls, everything is smooth and simple. A relativly creative idea too, keep up the good work!
