Bricklayer vs. Tetris

GMTK 2023

This is a local two-player competitive game. Player 1, as bricklayer, needs to drop bricks from above to build walls as complete as possible. Meanwhile, Player 2 only needs to play Tetris—after all, who would refuse to play Tetris!

I have always wanted to create a reverse perspective of Tetris or Zuma, where players take on the role of the brick distributor. So when I saw this topic, my initial idea was to make a Tetris game from the distributor's perspective, where the part that should be controlled by players would be handled by the program. However, as the prototype development progressed, I realized that keeping the original gameplay and turning it into a local multiplayer battle game would also be interesting.
