Seriously though. I don't think I've ever been so frustrated playing a webgame. : )

Lol very challenging game. I like it but the controls are crappy. They are way too sensitive and sometimes I mess up simply because this game can't accurately maneuver the pieces in the way that I want.

John, thanks for the comment. I know that the controls are horrible. :( Sorry for that. I lost the source that I compiled against so it's not easy for me to make changes. I spent several hours last night cleaning up a decompiler dump of my original swf. Maybe I'll be able to make some changes to it now that I've got it compiling again.
Missing standard tetris detail

You should show the next piece at least. Any tetris would be much harder without forward knowlegde :-)
RobotCaleb
· 11 months ago
The next piece isn't known until you've placed the piece you currently have. In other words, I can't show you the next piece because I don't know the next piece until I give you the next piece.

not really impressed, you cover the next piece, which takes away the players chance to counter the computers attempt to thwart your progress. Also if this is bastard tetris why is it Ive only seen 6 pieces. Where is that long defining piece ?
RobotCaleb

The I piece rarely shows up, as it is usually the piece least likely to cause problems for you. The algorithm places every piece in every location (dropping straight down) and then picks the one that gained you the smallest score. Or, rather, giving you the piece that didn't score the largest score. :)

1) the block falling thing broke at some point, blocks only fell when down arrow pushed. 2) game ended abruptly, possibly the new block couldn't fit; should include a Game Over screen maybe? 3) where's the "you won't get this one" from the original bastet? (:
RobotCaleb

Thanks sigs. I did see that first bug once when I was testing it. I was never able to reproduce it, though.
Yes, the game automatically restarts when you can't fit the given block. I'll try to get a chance to look into making that better.
As for your number three, well, it's just not there. :)

This is excellent, found a glitch though. I think I had 650 or so points when the blocks stopped falling. They would appear and then just stay still at the top of the screen until I decided to move them downwards manually.
Good work, though, this game really makes you think

Thanks for the info. If you find you're able to reproduce that consistently, I'd be very interested in knowing how. I saw it once while developing, but wasn't able to figure out how to repro it.
Glad you liked it!

Hahahahahaha this was really funny. Indeed I managed to make the straight bar my least desired peace, and I got 9 in a row... (I needed a square) and of course... the next piece I got after that was a square... so hilarious. Anyway... it is well known that you have to lose soon if you only receive s blocks, mostly if they are the same type... it may be good to reduce the likeliness of getting only s blocks... so to allow people to play longer... and keep them frustrated longer as well ;)

I think you can do better than you expect with just S or Z blocks.

You, sir, are in luck, then. You can play it in Flash on this very page! :)

29 rows! Of course the afformentioned glitch (sigs, chromz) helps a bit :-) The blocks keep falling after completing 11 rows (which is not that hard), resume briefly after the 20th, only to stop again after the next one.
Playing this is much less frustrating than completing a single row in Tetoris (which I've done in 20 minutes)...

After I cleared about 17 lines, the pieces stopped coming down. They just floated. I had to push the down button in order for them to come down. Error??

ohmygoodness... 12+ lines is NOT possible >.<
lol i love how u cant say the next piece because it has to determine the worst possible outcome =P

I love Bastet... but this version isnt...bastard enough.
seriously... playing bastet on my computer, the most lines i've ever gotten was 3... on here, I seem to get useful blocks all the time... i even managed to get about 700 points! :)
I also noticed the bug where the next piece wouldn't fall unless you press the 'down' arrowkey
All in all though, a pretty good clone!
RobotCaleb

It's the same code, for the most part. The next piece constraints (difficulty, if you will) were loosened a little bit to make it a tad more fun, though. :)
Thanks for the comment.

This is fantastic. Congratulations. I think I have sussed the hole in the algorhythm. I just got 11, but I'll try at 'work' again tomorrow. Well done again.

That was possibly the most enjoyable game of Tetris ever!
I'm no videogame masochist but something about knowing the very code of Bastet hates me makes it less about placing blocks and more like some kind of ritual duel to the death.
Also I got 11 lines. Couldn't get any more, no matter how hard I tried. Bastard indeed.

I was really impressed, the first time i tried it was fairly challenging. However I found that doing the opposite of what the game expects you to be using a piece for generates a piece that you need more often. I used this strategy to accumulate over 40 lines easily after game 5. Thanks for the challenge =)
RobotCaleb

Wow, that's awesome. Well done Kuratsu. I think that's the best score I've seen. :)

Wasn't too bad at first. Then it just kept giving me the same piece over and over (and half the time it wasn't too bad; the other half was annoying).

I also made the game break. I was at 550 points, had just laid a block to clear a row near the top (probably 4-6 lines down). Don't know if that will help you or not.

Just got the floating glitch. Got a straight piece for 4 lines. (Seriously, Tetris is seldom so kind.) Put me to 13 lines and 850 score.

i like this. its a good challeng.their should be a version where its a 100% chance you get the worst possible shape

it's actually easier that way. You can make a 2x2 hole and keep getting the I pieces ever since.

seen. :)

At about 12 lines the blocks stopped falling, and at 17 lines they stopped coming all togeth.
