It’s not impossible to learn, but something you’ll constantly have to remember.
While this means you can make very precise and minor movements, you’re also going to make countless mistakes as you'll be slightly off when placing your pieces due to this. Tricky Towers has half movements, so when you tap left on the D-Pad or the Left Stick, your piece will actually move half a block over. In standard Tetris, each piece is made up of a formation of 1x1 blocks to create its shape, and when you move left or right, your pieces move 1 block exactly. The biggest mechanic you’ll need to become accustomed to is the movement of the pieces. Naturally, I started to play Tricky Towers simply as a Tetris clone, but there’s a few factors that differentiate itself as a simple knock off. The premise of Tricky Towers is simple: Build up your tower and try and topple your opponent’s, or challenge yourself in the puzzle mode, attempting to use every piece you're given without tipping your tower over.
There is a single player component as well, should you want to relax and play at your own pace. Tricky Towers boasts itself as a multiplayer focused title, not something you see often in many smaller indie games, so it’s a very welcome addition. The idea is very simple but it works, so not only are you trying to interlock tetromino pieces, but you also need to be mindful of the weight and placement of each piece, as gravity is a factor in your game.
In Tricky Towers, instead of standard Jenga blocks you have the tetromino pieces we’ve come to expect from any Tetris game. Jenga is all about building your tower as high as you can without it toppling while managing the constant fight against gravity. Tricky Towers is a byproduct of mashing up classic Tetris and Jenga. That’s what shocked me about Tricky Towers though, it actually did change things up just enough to be interesting and capture my attention. Needless to say, when a Tetris-like game releases, I usually don’t take much notice, as we’ve seen it all before. Its classic gameplay is as simplistic as it gets, and it has spawned countless iterations and knock offs, all trying to slightly modify the gameplay just enough for it to be different and fresh. Tetris is one of the most well-known games of all time.
