Puzzle game of new sense three dimensional space! The familiar game rules are somewhat different in three dimensional space. Let's combine blocks with a puzzle field looked down from above! If you use a special block, you can stack two or four blocks at once! If you put down the last block by stacking 4 tiers, you get a high score bonus at once! Get high score bonus at once! Please aim for a high score and challenge! -------- How to play the game -------- Search this video with explanation video [ tetry 3d ] You must touch rules that are not familiar to play TETRY 3D. You can see the guidance for comfortable playing by opening the help screen from options in the game. Here I will tell you the contents ahead of time. - Shape of field In the game, it is scaled to stack 10 × 10 blocks by 20 levels. The block to be operated is mainly composed of 4 blocks. The game screen looks like this field looking down from above. Blocks emerging from the top are gradually falling. Please move to the ground before turning it and drop it to the target place. The camera defaults to follow-up type and approaches the ground with the block. You can also fix the position of the camera from the game setting. - Game rules By filling in all the stages, you score and the block disappears and the top block moves down. The number of stages that can be eliminated at the same time is up to 4 stages, and the score also increases greatly. However, it is not easy to fill a block of as many as 100 in one step. Then the special block comes in handy. Sometimes an unusual pattern of blocks that intersects the block body exerts its effect by doing a specific arrangement. If it is arranged in the form of H, it is possible to fill all four stages except for one row by block. If you sort in the form of S or Z, you can fill two steps. Please note that the direction of the blank column will change depending on the direction of H, S or Z. Please see the in-game help if you want to know more. There is a comment with a picture. And the only block body that can be plugged into a free row of blocks is one functional block, the gold block. It is the shape of a bar with 10 blocks in a block body with a length of one column. If you drop this onto the ground, it can be created three copies of itself, filling a total of four rows. The more you score, the more you can earn. The more you do it the better the score will be. However, since the falling speed of the block body also gradually increases, it depends on the arm how far it can go! - Features that support games This game will be in the long run. A game of one time can reach several hours. Therefore, a save function is provided so that the game can be interrupted and restarted whenever you want at any time. When you press the break button on the game screen, the menu will come up and press the save button in that. Even if you drop the game with this, you can resume from the Context button on the title screen. However, please note that the save data will be deleted when the game is over (the data such as the score will remain properly). There are other help features such as displaying how many steps of the block being operated are on the ground and making it easy to understand the block of the same height as the falling place. - Promotion of score competition Ranking using the function of the store is prepared.

Reimagination and a remake of the immortal classic. Arrange the falling pieces to fill up and clear the lines. Clear as many lines as possible to advance through levels or complete various objectives. This game is inspired by the four brick falling blocks games. But instead of easy four brick pieces, where the name Tetra comes from, this game uses five bricks pieces, thus the name Penta. Of course, you are not limited to either set of pieces. Play any combination you would like and consider more fun. Fun question: Do you see the black dots when you are looking at the game title screen? Do you think they are there? Features: - Play an endless game or complete objectives. - Play individual levels or progress through the campaign. - Smooth and customizable controls. - Various difficulty levels. Controls: The controls were designed to make the gameplay smooth and enjoyable. Below are the few highlights that make this game stand out. - Tap with the second finger or swipe down to drop the piece. Of course, you can use the "Drop" buttons too. - Swipe up to stash the piece and use it later in the game. This allows for more strategic play.
