Centrist

Centrist is an interesting spin on the Tetris formula. It reminds me of a simpler version of that Metroid "Catch" mode in Tetris DS or Klustar, only that you can't rotate your board. As a veteran Tetris player, it was honestly somewhat tricky to fully adjust to the all of the games mechanics with all the pieces coming from different directions. It's fairly challenging yet nothing too overwhelming. With enough practice [spoiler](and maybe a bit of luck)[/spoiler] you should be able to snag all of the achievements the game has to offer. It may also be worth mentioning that I was personally invited by the developer of this game to playtest it, and it was a really nice experience overall! Even had some of my suggestions implemented into the actual game itself!

[b][i]Logic puzzle/innovative Tetris.

The goal is to collect as many points as you can to get ahead of other players on the leaderboard. There are four different modes. They differ in the rules for folding/disappearing, the possibility of rotation and types of blocks (non-standard shaped blocks and bombs appear). + Minimalistic graphics and pleasant music. + Relaxing gameplay. + You can use a keyboard or mouse to control. + 4 modes (Centrist, Extremist, Classic and Bombastic). + Leaderboard. + Achievements.

I had low expectations for this game as there are many Tetris-like games that are just clunky and not great. However, quickly after I started playing this one I realized that the game was very much its own thing rather than an imitation. Each mode is similar but different enough to change to way you have to approach it. I initially only wanted to play for an hour, but found myself wanted to play "one more game" for about 3 hours. The game might lack a little polish in some aspects, but the music is surprisingly good, which makes up for some of it. Overall, Centrist is a surprisingly fun game that I would recommend to anyone who likes that kind of puzzle games.

game is good, I'm just bad. Classic mode for life

Reseña en Español: Somos Ayani y Noah, dos vtubers twins que hacen streams en twitch (AniNoah), y tuvimos el honor de recibir la copia de parte del creador y hemos jugado a cosas parecidas a este juego y tras probarlo, pensamos que es muy entretenido, muy diferente, puesto que las piezas van al centro o a las esquinas, dependiendo del modo juego, lo cual añade dificultad y para aquellos que les guste el reto y el tetrio clásico, es muy recomendable. Es muy original y seguro que pasaréis muchas horas de entretenimiento y picandoos con vuestros amigos para ver quien lo hace mejor, pues hay ranking :> English Review: We are Ayani and Noah, twin vtubers who stream on twitch (AniNoah), and we had the honor to receive a copy from the author; we've played similar games in the past and, after giving this a try, we found it very entertaining, very different, since pieces fall to the center or the sides, depending on the game mode, so we have an added difficulty. It is quite recommendable for those who enjoy a good challenge and classic tetris. It's very innovative, and it's sure you would spend many funny hours in there, fighting your friends, since it even has a ranking.

Interesting idea, innovative game.

I love puzzle type games and we have done a few on my YT channel. This is the video of my gameplay of Centrist ( https://youtu.be/n1hQNbUyzWU?si=wMzez8QD-oyCT1V- ). The author reached out to me to give it a play on the channel, I would have gladly done this without the review code they game me for this but it was there and I took it. You play this and will know the shapes, but the rules are very twisted and I can honestly say I've never seen anything like this. You think you get the hang of it and in my case, boom nope, one mistake and it all comes crashing down. The premise is simple on a standad mode, surround a block with shapes to for a perfect square from familar looking shapes that have gravity on there side that drop from all directions. Don't touch any pre-exisiting block and you lose the shape and then some health. There are power ups to help you, there are multiple modes and all of this may sound confusing but check my video out. This game is one to keep and I will be returning to this a lot - I also can't believe ( regardless of it cost me nothing ) how cheap this is. This game has been out since December 2023 and it honestly deserves more publicity and love. This puzzle game is a home run.

有中文 有成就 《中间主义者》 《中间主义者》是一款方块堆叠游戏，你的目标是围绕中心方块以完美的正方形布局放置方块。方块会从四个不同的方向出现。随着你消除的方块数量增多，游戏的难度也会随之增加。 玩家初始有10点生命值，当生命值降至0时游戏结束。如果有方块放置在了生成线上，你会受到5点伤害，并且附近的方块会被清除。如果一个方块从游戏板上掉落，你会根据该方块所包含的方块数量（炸弹总是造成5点伤害）来损失生命值。 得分规则： - 放置每个方块得10分 - 消除每个方块得10分 - 第一层 = 640分 - 第二层 = 2560分 - 第三层 = 5760分 - 第四层 = 10240分 - 第五层 = 16000分 - 第六层 = 23040分 - 第七层 = 31360分 - 第八层 = 40960分 - 第九层 = 51840分 - 第十层 = 64000分 特殊方块： 一旦游戏板上至少有20个方块，每出现的第5个方块就会是一个炸弹。游戏板上的方块越多，你能获得的特殊效果就越强大。炸弹在碰撞时会爆炸，并且可以向侧面引爆。 - 炸弹：摧毁3×3范围内的所有方块 - 大炸弹：摧毁5×5范围内的所有方块 - 填充炸弹：在3×3范围内生成方块 - 激光束：摧毁一条直线上的所有方块 - 超级激光束：摧毁三条直线上的所有方块 - 冲击波炸弹：迫使半径为5个方块范围内的方块向中心坍塌 - 火焰：碰撞时摧毁方块（最多30个） - 大火焰：碰撞时摧毁方块（最多60个） 游戏模式： - **中间主义者**： - 存在一些不规则形状的方块 - 会出现炸弹 - 方块不能旋转 - **经典模式**： - 只有经典形状的方块 - 方块可以旋转 - 不会出现炸弹 - 外层方块会坍塌 - **炸弹模式**： - 只有经典形状的方块 - 方块可以旋转 - 会出现炸弹 - **极端主义者模式**： - 只有经典形状的方块 - 方块可以旋转 - 角落处有方块而非中心位置 - 会出现炸弹

I was contacted by the developer to give this a try, and I'm glad I did! I'm unfortunately not very good at it yet, but I really enjoy the twist on your typical Tetris formula, and the different game modes provide a good bit of variety and challenge. I'm looking forward to playing around with it a bit more, and hopefully improving my scores! You can check out my gameplay video here: https://youtu.be/HuVARni8thQ
