TETRIX 3D

I am changing my review from positive to negative. Nowhere on the store page at the time of my purchase did it say an active internet connection was required. Today I tried to launch the game while Steam was not connected online. The game started, then promptly closed. After Steam came back online, the game would run perfectly fine. It appears to me this is a deceptive business practice. If you want your game to make an online check, that's fine.. I likely won't buy it, but that is your decision. But [b]NOTIFY THE CUSTOMER[/b] that this is how you do things so we can make an informed decision before paying money. ----- original review ----------- I had a game like this back in the day on my [i]Amiga computer[/i] called [b]Blockout[/b]. It is fun to be able to play it again. One complaint is that it would be nice if the game showed you a shadow or highlight directly below your piece so you can see exactly where it will fall when dropped (or "pushed" as the game calls it). It does have some amusing spelling errors in the game. Take my advice: Go into Steam's Big Picture mode and edit your controls so that moving the piece in the four directions uses hold repeat. Not at the default speed, maybe two steps below that. I am using the Steam Controller so I turned on haptic ticks for each time it moves. The game defaults to repeat the move if you hold the direction but it is far too slow for my liking. You can repeatedly tap in any direction as fast as you like, so using Big Picture to "rapid fire" the four directions will give you more responsive held movement controls. The music is better than I expected. Quite excellent. I suspect the composer was a fan of Jan Hammer. The game also gets bonus points for having non-standard pieces. Awesome!
