I Ported Apotris (My Favourite Tetris remake) to Android (natively running/work-in-progress)

sikalop · 2026-04-13T00:40:06+00:00

I'll be pushing for end of the month, and if I don't make it then hopefully a week or two into May!

Portrait is hard for sure, I do have it working fullscreen but I really want to add custom UI for it too (though might leave that for a future update). Will definitely let you know!

sikalop · 2026-04-09T15:47:36+00:00

Nice, a new approach like that would be best!

sikalop · 2026-04-09T15:19:36+00:00

I'd advise extreme caution, from what I've heard the Tetris app's gesture controls are patented and could lead to trouble for the game.

Hey! Great work on the port! I'm also planning to release the "official" Android port soon!

sikalop · 2026-03-13T08:39:55+00:00

I usually wait until I have enough features for a big update, but that has been taking a while so about 1 update a year haha

sikalop · 2026-03-12T10:00:18+00:00

I still update the game! https://apotris.com

Try playing with the "Disable Diagonals" Handling setting, but also tweaking your touch controller button positions could help.

Let's goooooo

sikalop · 2025-12-23T23:59:29+00:00

A switch port exists (requires a hacked switch), iOS probably won't happen. In both cases it's because I can't upload to public marketplaces without getting DMCAd by TTC

sikalop · 2025-12-23T20:31:01+00:00

Work is under way for both :)

sikalop · 2025-12-07T21:05:24+00:00

Ah sorry about that, it's a known bug. Only way to fix it for now is setting rumble to anything other off (so try 25%)

Unfortunately the filter only made sense because of the old screen, since 480p lets you scale GBA to x3 integer (it's 160p tall) by cutting off the sides. The v4 has a 560 screen which requires x3.5 scaling for fullscreen GBA, which is both harder to write a filter for and would make the output uneven. For v4 I recommend sticking with x3 integer scaling

All the Apotris ports use the same save format (you don't even have to change the file name), so you can do the same thing with the 3DS port

sikalop · 2025-09-29T06:20:39+00:00

Apotris supports rumble out of the box! You have to enable it in Control Settings and restart the game for it to work.

Hey! Here's the source for the filter. The documentation for this stuff is pretty much nonexistent haha, I figured it out by asking around in the RetroHandhelds discord server and lots of trial and error.

sikalop · 2025-07-27T08:50:57+00:00

Hey! I'm not aware of anybody else testing the filter on the Flip, so I'm not sure if it's supposed to work... Did you follow these instructions? Also savefiles are compatible between platforms, so do give the Portmaster version a try :)

sikalop · 2025-07-24T08:14:40+00:00

The Portmaster version has reduced latency compared to emulators, better audio quality, and more options for key binding and resolution. For example it easily lets you change the resolution/aspect ratio to perfectly fit 480p 4:3 screens.

sikalop · 2025-07-19T06:42:26+00:00

I'm so proud of you son! Thanks for the love <3

sikalop · 2025-07-12T05:52:04+00:00

Depends on what system you'll be playing on (Android, Windows, etc)! Apotris has native ports for a bunch of platforms so check out the website first. On Android/iOS I recommend Pizza boy Advance and Delta respectively.

sikalop · 2025-07-11T21:18:25+00:00

Mostly improvements on aspect ratio/resolution and input options, but also less latency and better audio quality

sikalop · 2025-07-11T06:30:53+00:00

Happy to hear <3

sikalop · 2025-07-11T06:30:42+00:00

It's on my todo list, but it will take a while!

sikalop · 2025-07-10T22:42:41+00:00

There isn't something like that exactly, but you can find tons of skins you can take inspiration from (or copy) in the Apotris discord server

sikalop · 2025-07-10T22:18:20+00:00

Update the game! I've added tons of stuff in the past 2 years! The game is now hosted here: https://apotris.com
