PSPTris is a homebrew puzzle game featuring the classic Tetris and a color matching mode. It was entered into the Fourth Creation Game Competition (2nd place). == User guide == === How to play === Game types: * Classic - The classic Tetris game that we all know and love. * Color - In this game you'll have to match 2 or more balls in the same color. * Original - The same as Classic but with the screen rotated 90 degrees. Points: * Dropping the brick gives 5 points. * 1 line = 10 * level * 2 line = 40 * level * 3 line = 80 * level * 4 line = 120 * level === Color === In the game use the Analog stick for moving the selection. The game will mark equal matching colors automatically. Use Cross for selecting a match. This will remove all the matching colors, shift down the rows and add new bricks at the top. Use Triangle for automatically move to a legal match. Please note that this will only be possible every 5 seconds and it will cost you 500 point (below 500 point you will not be able to use this feature). Points: * The points are not linear, i.e. removing 2 times 2 balls will give less points than removing 1 x 4 balls. * The formula for the points are : points(N) = N*10 + (N-1)*10 .. + 10 * e.g. : 2 balls gives 2*10 + 1*10 = 30 points, and 4 balls give 4*10 + 3*10 + 2*10 + 1*10 = 100 points. === Original === In this mode the screen are rotated and thus the keys are assigned differently than in the classical game mode. Points: * Dropping the brick gives 5 points. * 1 line = 10 * level * 2 line = 40 * level * 3 line = 80 * level * 4 line = 120 * level === User defined music === To listen to your own modules during the game, place the modules in the /PSPTris/Music/ folder and name the modules ingame_xxx, i.e. if you have a moduled called mymod.mod rename it to ingame_mymod.mod. The player supports at least .mod and .xm files. It should support other types as well (like .it etc.) but I haven't tested those, so I don't know if they actually works. When the game starts it will randomly choose a module among the available modules. == Controls == Start - End the intro sequence '''Menus:''' Up/Down - Navigate Cross - Confirm Select - Display game version '''Classic/Original:''' Left/Right/Down - Move the bricks Up - Drop the current brick Cross or L/R - Rotate the current brick Start - Pause '''Color:''' Analog - Move selection Cross - Select a match Triangle - Automatically move to a legal match (cost 500 points) '''Highscore screen:''' Analog+Cross/Circle/Triangle/Square - Input letter or number L - Switch to numbers mode Hold R - (In letter mode) Use capital letters D-Pad Down - Enter (store the highscore) D-Pad Left - Select next character D-Pad Right - Select previous character == Screenshots == https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/psphomebrew/psptris2.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/psphomebrew/psptris3.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/psphomebrew/psptris4.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/psphomebrew/psptris5.png == Changelog == '''Version 0.9a 2006/06/18''' Fixes: * Replaced internal random number algorithm with the PSPs native functionality.
