About This Game
Centrist is a block stacking game where your goal is to place blocks around the center piece in a perfect square formation. Blocks will appear from 4 different directions. The game gets harder as you destroy more blocks.
The player has 10 health and the game will end once it drops to 0. If a block is placed at the spawning line, you will take 5 damage and nearby blocks will be cleared. If a block falls off the board you will lose health depending on the number of blocks the piece has (Bombs will always deal 5 damage)
Scores:
10 points for each block placed
10 points for each block destroyed
1st layer = 640 points
2nd layer = 2,560 points
3rd layer = 5,760 points
4th layer = 10,240 points
5th layer = 16,000 points
6th layer = 23,040 points
7th layer = 31,360 points
8th layer = 40,960 points
9th layer = 51,840 points
10th layer = 64,000 points
Special blocks:
Once there are at least 20 blocks on the board every 5th block will be a bomb. The more blocks there are, the more powerful effects you will get. Bombs will explode upon collision and can be detonated sideways.
Bomb: destroys all blocks in a 3 x 3 range
Big Bomb: destroys all blocks in a 5 x 5 range
Filler Bomb: creates blocks in a 3 x 3 range
Beam: destroys all blocks in a line
Mega Beam: destroys all blocks in 3 lines
Shockwave Bomb: forces blocks within a 5 block radius to collapse towards the center
Flame: destroyed blocks upon collision (maximum 30 blocks)
Big Flame: destroyed blocks upon collision (maximum 60 blocks)

game is good, I'm just bad. Classic mode for life
Tetris but blocks are coming from up down left and right. oh there are also stuff and things to spice the game up like bombs. there are also different game modes. the dev guy seems ok. he looks lazy. but he delivers updates little by little and this little gem seems to be alive and well. i think its worth a buy
The game is genuinely super fun, my favourite game mode is centrist as I'm not the greatest at Tetris so I find it more fun when I don't have the option to rotate otherwise it stresses me out lol. It's definitely a very unique take on the genre and I found the strategy to be very different when deciding where to place things. I think the graphics could definitely get an overhaul to make the game more visually appealing. Overall it's an enjoyable game that I'd recommend
