Please consider respecting XDG base directory specification, and put the relevant files under `$XDG_DATA_HOME` and `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` on Linux. Creating a custom folder in the user's home directory willy-nilly is REALLYBAD practice.
Saw it in a YouTube video, decided to try it out. Surprisingly fun and replayable. Will definitely be shooting for high scores in Marathon mode in my off time.
Fairly addictive and clever. One of the core principles of the original Tetris, though, is that the lowest levels are so boringly slow, you _want_ to play a higher level. On this, though, the lowest level moves too quickly for a first-timer to really keep up with the new concepts.
It would be awesome if the lowest level were so slow as to be boring.
Could you please add customizable controls? I want to play this on my laptop, but my arrow keys are broken. So until I get those fixed, I just can't play this game with the controls it has.
Very cool idea! Although In my view, this game is somehow too difficult. I am a modern Tetris player, with sprint sub 40s in Jstris and ranked around SS~U in Tetr.io tetra league. However, I can only pass the first two level of 40 lines in this game.
The hardest part is locking, as soon as the tetrominoes touch existing sands, it is getting locked. I think this can be relaxed in some ways:
delay locking
when the touched sands are not connected to the floor, never locking.
when the touched sands are in movement, the delay time is longer
Also, the end condition should be relaxed. Currently, the game is over when any part of the locked tetrimino is out of screen. I think this can relaxed to when all the tetrimino is out of screen.
just download it, install java & run the .jar file. I managed to even get the linux version working on my windows machine no technical problems at all.
also if you expect to game on a mac im sorry to tell you this but 3d rendering technologies like opengl on mac havent been updated since 2010 and modern graphics engines like vulkan simply dont exist on mac.
the jar contains a DLL that relies on the specific architecture. I'm over here in 2023 with an ARM Windows machine and it can run in x64 emulation, but if you try to run the .jar with an ARM64-based Java, it complains that "gdx64.dll: Can't load AMD 64-bit .dll on a ARM 64-bit platform"

This is so cool
Can you port it into android? Seems like a fantastic game to pass the time with when im not home
Very inspiring idea!
Are you going to add a colorblind mode or another color theme? I literally can't even figure out how many colors I'm confusing 2 or 3🤣
Four: green, red, blue, and yellow.
so many games i want to pay for because they're cool, but i just can't
Very cool game
im gonna keep grinding

Ask on the discord
Very interesting and fun! Would love to be able to map the buttons in future updates, unless it was an option somewhere already.
cool
Brilliant but not supporting the ESC key is trash :(
agreed
Brilliantly simple and so addictive!
source code pls
Great game. more modes maybe. Way better than normal tetris.

Really though, fantastic idea for a game.
You, my friend, need to add a pause button, for games that last too long. Mine was 20 minutes, for example, and I couldn't take a break!
Press P
yea
Great and inovator game.
Game is good and interesting. But where is located file with scores? Or how 100% delete the game.
C:\Users\you\Setris_1.2
Thanks!
创意很新奇，这个评论框打字打不了，只能把字粘贴过来

Thanks! These are some interesting ideas. Sand is sped up on higher levels in the next version already which should make them easier.
Finally passed level 3, looking forward to your next release!
great game. sat down and said "i think i'll play a round of this real quick and then get some work done"
no mac version - literally 1984
just download it, install java & run the .jar file. I managed to even get the linux version working on my windows machine no technical problems at all.

this game isnt 1984 your mac is 2010

Java's cross-platform claims are a lie.
