RVAL is a two-player Tetris duel on a shared board. Instead of racing for high scores, you're fighting for territory. Each row you clear pushes the boundary line into your opponent's side of the board. Squeeze them to zero rows to win. They're doing the same to you. MODES - Solo: pick your side, pick a difficulty, take on the AI. - Drift: a scrolling, wrap-around solo mode with parallax starfield. - Online: share a 4-digit room code with a friend and play in real time. CONTROLS - Tap to rotate. - Swipe left / right to move. - Swipe up or down to hard-drop. FEATURES - Fully symmetric two-player rules: same pieces, same speed, no advantage. - Boundary line moves live as rows clear - watch your territory grow or shrink. - Five AI difficulty levels in solo. - No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
