I am aware of the current bugs, I’ll fix them another time since I’m busy today.


This was made for fun, don’t expect there to be every feature from the original game and/or Tetris itself. You aren’t meant to have “Bricklayer for Newgrounds v1.5” World Championships over here lolz. Let’s just say, if a feature is not included it’s cause I either couldn’t figure it out or I was too lazy and will probably fix it later if I have time, anyways enjoy this little gaem!

Description


Bricklayer for Newgrounds is an HTML5 port of Steve Chamberlin's popular fast-paced falling blocks game for the Macintosh. The Macintosh version was honorably mentioned in the 1993 MacUser Shareware Awards, and favorably reviewed in numerous books and magazines. Guaranteed to get you addicted, Bricklayer for Newgrounds features beautiful 256-color artwork, an original music soundtrack, terrific sound effects, and more!


What was Tetris Max/Bricklayer?


It was known as the best Tetris game for 68k and PPC Macs.

It was also available for Windows PCs as well.

Development of the original game was stopped due to legal threats from the Tetris Co.

This is a remake of the Windows versions the game, version 1.5 to be exact.

An impressively good remake of a Macintosh classic - this HTML5 title's Daily Award was richly deserved.

pretty good. just needs a lil bit of "WOW YOU GOT THE TETRIS!!!"

AtreyuGilbert responds:

look for the Tetfun 2000 remake coming soon

Great, though not perfect

stevetherapper responds:

ya girl ain’t perfect either

While history preserves such project being quite unique and great. It's still a shame due to weird bug or hiccup game tends to spam you same pieces.
But eh, I'll get over to lvl. 10 eventually even with such obstacle. Can't get mad knowing it's an oldschool example of Tetris.

oldschool
