Beebris

Overview

Beebris is a single-player puzzle game featuring several challenging game modes. Based on the popular tetromino arcade games, Beebris has 40 levels of difficulty, web-based high score tables and one-more-game addictiveness. It also has rather iffy controls in very early and later levels! The four distinct game modes are: BEEBRIS This is the standard game mode. Points are scored by making complete horizontal lines of blocks in the Well. Greater scores can be obtained by ‘Quick-Dropping’ the tetromino - the higher the Quick Drop, the higher the score. Once 10 lines have been completed, the level will increase and the game will speed up noticeably. This will continue to a point where it reverts back to slower speeds. As you continue further into the higher levels, you will see the start position of the tetromino becomes lower - the Well top has been lowered! The game ends when a tetromino is placed in a position above the Well top. BEEBRIS+ Gameplay is similar to the normal BEEBRIS mode but with the addition of new polyominoes for extra difficulty. These new shapes do not tessellate quite as easily as the regular tetrominoes. To offset this there is another special single-block - the Bomb! This block will complete the line of blocks it falls to even if the line is not complete! ARCADE This is similar to regular Beebris mode with some additions - there are now 4 level types: Normal As with the regular game of Beebris, the object is to make 10 lines to advance to the next level. Progressive Advance The same as a Normal level but occasionally the game will move all blocks in the Well upwards and insert a random line at the bottom. Random Blocks The same as a Normal level but occasionally the game will insert a new block into the well at a random position. Pre-Built Well The same as a Normal level but the Well will contain a pre-selected pattern of blocks to start the level off with. ARCADE+ The same additions to Beebris+ apply here - new polyominoes and the Bomb!
