really easy tetris

Briefing

The developer has created 'really easy tetris', a version of Tetris that exclusively uses the I pieces, allowing players to focus on a single type of gameplay. This project was primarily an exercise in mastering the Phaser game engine, which could be beneficial for developers considering it for future projects. The developer enjoyed the process enough to share it online, inviting others to experience this simplified version of a classic game.

For developers, particularly programmers and designers, this project highlights how a simple concept can lead to engaging gameplay. It serves as a reminder that sometimes less is more, and that experimenting with game mechanics can yield unexpected fun. The game is available to play online, providing a quick and easy way to see the results of this exploration.

“I had enough fun playing it that I figured I'd put it online.”
