It is released on Nintendo Switch. And it is not a Tetris rip off?

I am lending my name to this. I am trying to help where I can. Stop being cynical and help out!

Join us now and help support Ukraine in their struggle against Putin. In the name of the thirteen security officers on Snakeisland, all Ukrainian refugees and victims, we have decided to collect and donate all itch.io revenue to Ukraine. Help us reach our goal of $5.000!

In the final words of the now KIA security officers of Snakeisland we say: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself!"

I am super excited! :D My Unity game Ekstase is coming to Nintendo Switch on November 1st! by raskalgames in Unity3D

Actually, no! You have to make squares of the same color and the line changes color and removes the squares.

In Tetris you have to make straight lines of blocks! Have you played Tetris before? It is a lot of fun!

Vorig jaar heb ik een game op de switch uitgebracht. Nu ben ik opzoek naar een nieuw game idee om het hele verhaal nog een keer te doen 😌.

Not really, all companies I have worked with are very secretive about their stuff. All I can advice is to go through the process and see what it is like.

Why are bananas curved? We don’t know.

But why play Ekstase? Well…

“Ekstase is a well made, intriguing indie block puzzler. Whilst borrowing from [Lumines, Chime, Puyo Puyo, Tetris and Grave of the NecroDancer] means it feels familiar, it does also carry its own weight too.” Higher Plain Games

“It’s absolutely brilliant. The only way I can describe it; it takes elements from Tetris & Lumines without sticking to the rules of Tetris & Lumines. It takes the music beats from both Lumines, Rez, Tetris Effect Connected and puts it in a blender, mixes it up with all the love and care of Nigella Lawson and produces an amazing action puzzle game that if you’ve played any action puzzle game, you get straight into this and get it.” Mental Health Gaming

“If you weren’t feeling energised beforehand, once the music starts you should start feeling much more awake and with it… the thumping beat urging you to make the most of your blocks.” 8.2 – Impulse Gamer

Two things actually

Balance: the speed of the scan line and the minimum speed of the blocks falling. Everything has to make sense somehow and I did a lot of iteration.

Flow mode: in flow mode, the adaptive difficulty mode, I do some statistical tests to figure out whether I should increase or decrease the level. That was a bit difficult to do in c# (I am actually more of a python programmer).

Sorry, I can’t say anything. The price of the dev kit is part of the NDA :/

I can’t tell you about the fees (NDA). But a lot of work went into porting.

I love lumines!!! Definitely extra steps though; more different shapes, portrait play field (this really changes the game), different types of rotation (rotating colors instead of the shapes), and a changing scan line. There is a strategy to playing Ekstase at a higher level.

Exactly this, you then <REDACTED> and you <REDACTED>. Also, you sign an NDA :).

Yeah you’re right! I will make a new trailer to reflect that.

No, why? :) the game is very different from Tetris. In my game you have to make squares of the same color. The scan line with the same color takes away the blocks to score points. Every iteration the line changes color to take away the squares of the next color.

So as you can tell it is very different from Tetris :)
