About This Game

Pokris is what it sounds like: a cross between poker and Tetris. Playing cards drop from the top, and it's your job to match them vertically or horizontally into poker combinations like pairs, straights, flushes, and so on. As the timer goes up, so does the speed, so act fast. You'll have to decide between waiting for certain cards to boost your score with great hands like full houses, and just racking up pairs to clear some cards off the board.

For slightly more advanced gameplay, you can flip cards upside down by pressing up. When upside down they won't be counted towards combinations until you flip them back. This way you "save" a run for a three or four of a kind, for example, without accidentally matching a pair.

Your score is based on combinations scored, with more difficult hands counting for more points, and time alive.

Sit back, relax to some original music, and try to beat your own high score in Pokris.

How has this game gone so long (7 months now since launch) without getting a purchased review? ..CRAZY!!! This little gem has scored a rare Zaxtor's Indie Gold with a 93% overall score from me... To anyone who loves Tetris and likes or loves Poker, this is a MUST BUY game, plan and simple!

It goes too fast and the screen is too small to involve any strategy most of the time. Just luck. Also : how is this 150 Megabytes? It's probably bloated because of unity but there is no more than 5 megabytes of actual content there. Even with the music. The Commodore 64 has had better looking and sounding games in just 64 kilobytes. At least it's not too expensive so I didn't ask for a refund.

Neat concept resulting in a fun little game. The card flipping mechanic is a clever addition: it's very satisfying to pick just the right moment to flip before slotting in the final card and producing a crazy combo. Too bad I don't have a Steam Deck and (as far as I know) this hasn't been released on phones or Switch or such, because this would've made an excellent portable game.
