Stécker vum Himmel

A Tetris-clone powered by the bell0bytes game engine.

"Stécker vum Himmel" loosely translated to "Pieces from the Sky". Download and Configuration

To download and install the game, either the Windows installer or the 7z-file containing the game data and the executable can be used.

Resolution

The current build should work with every screen resolution, the game was designed to look best on a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080, however.

Gamepad

To enable gamepad support, set the apprioate flag in the preference file to "true". This file can be found in your "My Documents" folder, under "bell0bytes/SvH/Settings/".

Gameplay Features The Oracle

As long as the oracle is active, the landing position (if left alone) of the currently active Tetronimo is displayed on the board.

The Oracle in action! Shift / Switch

An unwanted Tetronimo can be switched for the "next" Tetronimo. This can't be done twice in a row though.
