Columns


You've got this grid. At an increasing frequency, columns of three shapes will begin to descend into the grid. You can rotate the order of the shapes as you see fit as the column is falling down. Line up three shapes of the same color, and they'll disappear.

Sound familiar?

This is Tetris, but with some minor quirks. Just like Dr. Mario and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Except it isn't even named after a doctor.

There's also nothing more to the game than playing it until you die and then seeing what your high score was. I played it once on easy mode and lasted about ten minutes, setting a score of 9,000 or so. I then played it on hard mode and was done within a minute. (Seriously. The columns fell at a clip of like one per second right off the bat.) My score that time? Fifty thousand.

No, really.

Fifty fucking thousand.
