Today marks the 1 year anniversary of Tetrachroma's Steam release! Happy birthday Tetrachroma! 🎂 I'm very proud of the game and the support it has received from players. Thank you!

Now two people have completed Tetrachroma's most challenging mode! Congratulations to WaterArko!

I like the concept of the Rainbow Dolphin game I made for the falling block jam, but I feel unsatisfied with the 9 day jam version, so I'm continuing to develop it! I'm waiting to reveal the post jam version when it's ready (soon!)

This is a clip of what the max speed level in my jam game Rainbow Dolphin is like. The noise blocks are "pollution" that you have to avoid breaking. It gets pretty chaotic but I find it fun. When I recover from the jam I want to develop the idea a bit more. #FallingBlockJam

My #FallingBlockJam submission is Rainbow Dolphin. Flip and push blocks to form rainbows, as a pink, blue, yellow, or green dolphin! I had fun exploring quirky mechanics and thinking about dolphins: sparsevector.itch.io/rainbow-dolp...

Made good progress on my #FallingBlockJam entry today. Slowly starting to feel like a game as I add more visual feedback and tune stuff. Still lots left to do, most importantly making dolphin sprites 🐬

Falling Block Jam Day 1! Spent time working on music and thinking about the theme. I'm also using the Jam to port my C++/SDL library to Emscripten, which... works so far? Still need to test a few things, and then it's on to gameplay.

Falling Block Jam is starting! The (optional) inspirational vibe is "Analog Memory." Let's go!! #FallingBlockJam itch.io/jam/falling-...

Looking forward to #FallingBlockJam this Friday! itch.io/jam/falling-... I have an idea for a Klax-like I'm going to try to prototype.

Bet you haven't played some of these small block-stacking games! Part 2 of my "Games Like Tetris" series is out! youtu.be/6MwFf_HuZmY

Took a trip to the Mimms Museum of Technology and Art in Roswell, GA. It's a really cool collection of old computers in a former Burlington Coat Factory (!?) Incredible source of retro-future art reference.

Let the good vibes begin! The Lumines Arise Demo is available NOW through September 3rd. 🦎 THREE Journey stages 👥 Burst Battle multiplayer PS5 - store.playstation.com/concept/1001... Steam - store.steampowered.com/app/3847360/... lumines.game/demo

Recently, a very skilled player renda shared on YouTube complete runs for every Tetrachroma marathon mode on DEATH difficulty. This includes Console mode, where this difficulty is inspired by the NES Tetris "kill screen". It's amazing! Congratulations to renda! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNKo...

Falling Block Jam is now open for sign-ups! In September, let's put our own spin on this classic genre combining blocks and gravity in games. #FallingBlockJam itch.io/jam/falling-...

Really enjoying @bankbank.bsky.social 's new game Triple Miracle which just released today! You play 3 boards of Puyo Puyo-style falling block matching at once. The controls are very flexible, which makes the three board action feel unrestricted and fun. store.steampowered.com/app/3330980/...

Steam sale pickups! I have an endless wishlist so I tend to genre hop. This season it's mostly FPS!

Curse Match is out and free to play in your browser! Drop blocks, match colors, and choose your curse each level. Survive with the help of bombs and spells as you rack up combos under ever-shifting circumstances until you escape or become cursed forever. davemakes.itch.io/cursematch

i got so excited about the concept of a falling block game jam that i jumped the gun and accidentally made a pico-8 game this weekend called Curse Match where every level you pick your poison

Tetrachroma passed a magic sales threshold and is no longer 'Profile Features Limited'! You can now show off your Tetrachroma achievements on your Steam profile 😎

Tetrachroma's cheat code update is live! This update adds a new 'cheat code' screen that lets you change board size, rotation system, and more!

I'm working on a new Tetrachroma update adding cheat codes to the game! The cheat code menu lets you mix and match modifiers to play modes in new ways. This is CHAOS mode with a 5x10 board (a.k.a. BIG CHAOS).

TETRIS THE GRAND MASTER 4 -ABSOLUTE EYE- Steam page is up (releasing soon/this month) store.steampowered.com/app/3328480/...

This Saturday, I'm demoing Tetrachroma in the @wreckcon.org indie game showcase at Georgia Tech! The event is free and open to the public. I'll be running a high score challenge and giving away keys! (Sleeping cat not included.) wreckcon.org

I made a new free demo for Hot Wax for the Steam Next Fest! 🕯️ 🎮 Play two of the game's gamemodes! 🎨 Unlock a few different palettes! 🏆 Get some achievements! 👹 Check it out here: s.team/a/3041750 💖

Picked up Reaktor in the Steam Couch Co-op fest. This is a cool radial stacker with a very interesting chain reaction mechanic. Setting up the chain reactions feels like doing a secret grade pattern in Tetris. It's fun! store.steampowered.com/app/2950640/...

This was so satisfying. #TetraChroma

🚀 Big Announcement! 🎮 Excited to reveal Astroblocks, a puzzle fighting game - 2025! 🧩 Stack, clear & chain combos—rings, lines & chains—for powerful attacks! 📽️ youtu.be/yMcuHOPdphc 💙 Wishlist: 👉 store.steampowered.com/app/2747930 I'm a #SoloDev, every wishlist & share helps! 🙏✨ #GameDev #GameNews

We're about to go live with our episode of Margin Time on Tetrachroma twitch.tv/puzzlewednes...

Hey friends, we’re going to be streaming a new episode of Margin Time soon, where we’re sitting down and talking about Tetrachroma with @sparsevector.com We’ll be live on our Twitch around 5 PM EDT this Sunday, and we’ll be having a viewer questions segment, so be sure to drop by

The update adding custom music support to Tetrachroma is now available! Different music gives the game a totally different vibe and its fun to mix things up.

The next Tetrachroma update will include custom soundtrack support! I think this is a great feature for puzzle games that can be played for a long time. I'm testing it with Kimiko Ishizaka's public domain recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations.

These were my Steam sale Christmas gifts for myself. I'm in a shmup mood! Blue Revolver and Devil Blade are super slick and accessible. G-Darius is wildly creative and perfect vibes. Loving them all so far!

Tetrachroma is on sale! It's 20% off in the Winter Sale, so you can buy the tetra game for tetra dollars.

Hot Wax is an extremely creative and polished stacker from @punkcake.club that released today on itch (Steam version also coming)! My first impressions are that this game is awesome! punkcake.itch.io/hotwax

🔥🔥 Hot Wax is out now! 🔥🔥 🕯️ A falling-block puzzler with candles! 👹 Place 'em, Light 'em, Burn it all. 🧩 3 game modes, tons of color palettes 🎮 Get it now on Itch io! 💖 punkcake.itch.io/hotwax

Thanks to everyone that played TETRACHROMA at Anime Weekend Atlanta! It's very fun (and valuable) for me to watch players learn the game. An extremely skilled player cleared the marathon mode on their first try 👀 It was so cool!

Surprise! I'm demoing TETRACHROMA at Anime Weekend Atlanta! It starts tomorrow! Big thanks to @indieclusteratl.bsky.social for putting together the event's indie game showcase. If you're going, come say hello!

Today's Tetrachroma update adding 'synchro moves' to ARCADE mode is live! It's based on the classic frame perfect mechanic, but I've adapted the idea a bit to remove the framerate dependence. It's a subtle mechanic, but adds surprising depth (also looks cool).

Experimenting with a variation of the synchro mechanic from Tetris: the Grandmaster. This lets you rotate and shift a piece 'mid-air' within the same 60Hz frame. I adapted the idea to high refresh rates with a 'synchro window' and added a sound effect. Still testing, but seems cool!

thanks to tetrachroma when i see solution this is all i think of

Today's Tetrachroma update adds the ability to play any mode with the "sound style" of another mode. And just for fun I've included a new bonus sound set!

Finally got a stick for testing Tetrachroma. That's the only reason--nothing on my second screen.

New free game! DUST SETTLERS adamatomic.itch.io/dust-settlers 🪐 Arcade-paced terraforming puzzle ?? 🔀 FLIP TILES ! 🌳 ADD MATCHES! ⏰ Run out of time!! brutal 📈 Get Judged by your Employer probably

After getting absolutely hooked on Tetrachroma, I reached out to interview its creator @sparsevector.bsky.social and pick his brain about the finer points of making falling block puzzle games, overcoming burnout, and first loves. buttondown.com/allstationsb...

Finally recovered enough from the Tetrachroma launch I'm playing Tetrachroma for fun again (priorities lol). This felt so close to a full board perfect clear 😭

City tetris game slowly coming together. Today i even got up early to gamedev on it before real gamedev job 😳

Hi Bluesky! I'm a solo dev, recently released a game Tetrachroma on Steam. Searching my game on here makes me realize I should have been on here sooner! 👀 I'm bad at social media lol
