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)

[b]centrist[/b] is tetris with a twist. and a center. and an informative store page with screenshots showing settings and whatnot. should be the standard, sadly it's not. also, there was a 'blocks come from all 4 sides' situation years ago, free on the web, got ripped off and sold on steam by scummy individuals until it got taken down. this is neither of those, blocks here appear one by one. surprising no one, it's endless score attack with [b]4 game modes and their respective leaderboards[/b]. scores were made more easily readable (123,456 instead of 123456). rules are explained in-game, basically you're stacking blocks around the center and once a layer is complete, it disappears. outer layers are worth more. the next piece and where it's gonna appear is shown in the corner, [b]no on-screen timer, thankfully[/b]. [b]bombs start appearing every 5 turns after 20 placed blocks.[/b] they come in several variations, based on how filled up the board is. instead of the typical 'reach the ...

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
