As promised
(note: planned features that make the game even more kickass such as special blocks and combos are currently missing):


Coming soon to Android and PC 

Also:

I'm not very good at this

you should make it so that if you don't move blocks the blocks still fall down like they did in the original tetris
gives you no time to think and makes the game more intense and difficult

[Waru]

what? they do that already. look harder.

Yeah it's pretty much impossible to see anything coming.  Get that fixed and you might actually have something here.

Zombies, that game where you kill stuff
i made it better
aka
i revamped the graphics, gave the ammo and health counters icons, and made the flashlight brighter.

I'm probably going to stream my recent work (TetrisRunner, WallStack, TempestGame and my Major Project "CascadeFailure") tomorrow. Either way, I'll post gifs sooner or later.

Anyone know any good resources for colour theory / coming up with game colour palettes?
