This is a clone of a well-known puzzle game for NES, but with faster and more modern gameplay.

This game was originally made as a bonus to include in Nova the Squirrel but I wanted to polish it up and make it stand more on its own. This version has a lot of little tweaks that make it a better and more polished game, especially in multiplayer.

Features include:

  • Multiple gimmicks you can choose from, including only having pieces that are doubles
  • Multiple backgrounds you can pick from
  • Includes two songs by maple syrup
  • Four color schemes for pieces
  • Three different themes for pieces
  • Multiplayer versus mode with a win counter; uses per-player RNG to work better with rollback multiplayer
  • Ghost pieces
  • Hard drops

This game is legally unambiguous to clone because it's covered by an expired patent (US5265888A) and according to cases like Kellogg v. Nabisco a company cannot try to use longer-term rights to extend the effective length of their patents.
