Happy 15th birthday, Glorious Trainwrecks!

I guess it's a belated birthday, because it's a little after midnight here. But that's probably fitting, because I recall deciding to launch Glorious Trainwrecks at like 2 in the morning when I really should have been in bed.

For many years this place was a refuge for me, a place I felt completely comfortable to be myself, to make mistakes, to try new things, and above all, to have a great time with friends. I don't spend a lot of time here anymore, but I think it has been and continues to be a place like that for a lot of other people too, and there is little that could possibly make me happier than that.

For the past couple of years I have been experimenting with strange game livecoding workflows in Lisp. For the 15th Anniversary Klik Jam I thought of a way I might be able to share a taste of that with everyone.

Edtris is, on the surface, a very boring game of Tetris. It doesn't keep score, it doesn't speed up, the rotation algorithm is wonky. But if you play for a bit and then press the "E" key... well, something a bit magic happens.

Developed on Linux and brought kicking and screaming into Windows - run the "Edtris - RUN ME.bat" file, not love.exe. Hopefully everything works right for you on Windows, I didn't test it super extensively.

Linux and Mac users, this should work for you as well - just install love2d, open a terminal, cd to the directory holding the game, and run "love ." Packaging it into a .love file doesn't quite make sense for reasons that may be clearer after messing with the game for a bit.

this is a print and play boardgame !! you need to print one page out (more if you want) and candy / snacks / treats (7).

Psychological dadaist game about little Tetris T block that doubts its purpose in life and wants to be free. In fact, he always wanted to become a tree! And now he can, thanks to this amazing creation. You must guide little T in his explorations of the world beyond what he has known all his life. You can also guide little T in her explorations of the world beyond what she has known all her life. (Up to you - in any case he's pink and she's pink too.) But watch out - the unknown world is big and full of dangers and seductions! T must go where no Tetris block has gone before...

Use the keyboard arrows to guide little T / ESC to quit - the basic mantra of glorious games.
Remember: save the Treetris.exe file to the Desktop or some other folder before launching the game! Don't run it straight from the .zip file unless you're curious to see my FEIG error box.

WHAT IF
TETRIS
HAD BEEN DEVELOPED
IN 2012?

A 2 hour goof-off by newobject.

I started this for the October Klik of the Month, but couldn't get it working at the time, even for the Ladies' Auxiliary. The plan was to add K&P-style car controls and some kind of clearing (4x4 blocks?), eventually.

The sequel to a one button adventure game prototype I made five years ago.

If you're using a 64-bit operating system, download this version.

The pieces will never fit together so you've gotta fill the gaps with glue

Enter is as they say the magic button

My GM-fu was not ready for this and that's why you can't clear lines and the glue doesn't flow right

It's like you live in the world of Tetris. Also, you're going to die.

Stack the tiles to form sets! If things go wrong, devour with a dragon! Score points to see pretty women!
