=== ABOUT TR-S ===

TR-S (pronounced TRIS) is a small local 2-player (heavily tetris-inspired) brick falling game, originally crafted for the 61st edition of TriJam, a 3 hour long game jam. The development, however, took much longer than 3 hours. It took approximately 9 hours to make the game, including all assets.

I am quite happy with the outcome so far, though there are many things to improve upon, without a doubt.

I hope that you will enjoy this negative space rendition of a classic!

=== TOOLS USED ===

The game is developed using Godot v3.2 Mono.
The art is drawn using Aseprite.
The music is made using Beepbox.
The sound effect is made using Bfxr.

=== FUTURE TO DO ===

> Make the rotations environment-sensitive (e.g. allowing some (now not allowed) rotations next to a game border, by shifting the piece)
> Add a soundtrack that is not thrown together in 5 minutes... and put some effort into mixing and mastering it.
> Revisit the visuals (hopefully without sacrificing readability): Add very tiny animations for visual flair and give the whole thing a whoppin' dose of retro style.
> Add a game menu and restart mechanics.
> Add an AI opponent

> Any suggestions are welcome!!

Holy guacamole! This is fantastic!

Awesome work! I'm sooooo happy to see this; this is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to see from this jam with the Negative Space theme! Totally genius unique twist that had to be done with the negative space concept. As I said, I've been obsessed with this negative space idea for 10+ years and really wanted to see some fresh takes on the concept, hoping for at least one game that would surprise me with its clever design intrinsic to the negative space that I hadn't thought of before... this is it!

The existence of this game makes me so happy; incredible work! One of my favorite game jam games ever.
