Very insightful! the 4-window blacklist is such a good idea. I feel like 7-bag is a bit too predictable if you're able to keep up with the counting.
And you're right, some of the rotation and kick rules you mentioned are actually not changing much in this game because there's not a collision between pieces, only overlap: since floor kicks and t-spins are not possible, we optimized those for simplicity (it's a 48h game jam in PICO-8 after all)
- jchw 2y agoI tried playing sirtet for a while. That was pretty interesting. My brain kept wanting to orient the pieces as if I was playing Tetris leading me to occasionally do the opposite of what I was intending to do and dig myself into a hole both figuratively and literally. I found it pretty challenging to figure out a good strategy for stacking; there aren't so many lines to work with at once and the constraint that the soil has to be connected at all times adds a bit of challenge. I couldn't get very far and only managed to clear four lines a couple of times. I can definitely say now that I don't think 7 bag is a mistake for this. With the added challenge, having 7 bag and a hold window is probably a good idea.
