DEBTRIS: PAY TO SPIN

The classic Puzzle Block Game with a Capitalistic Twist!

DEBTRIS takes the traditional block-stacking, line-clearing game to a whole new level with an added financial challenge! Rotate your tetrominoes strategically using a limited cash pool that replenishes periodically. Every spin has a price—manage your cash wisely, or you’ll be stuck with an immovable piece until your next “paycheck.”

How to Play

  1. Control the Tetrominoes:

    • Move Left/Right/Down: Use the arrow keys to slide the piece.
    • Hard Drop: Press the space bar to instantly drop a tetromino.
    • Rotate: Use the Z and X keys to rotate. Each rotation deducts from your cash balance!
    • Pause: Use the P and Esc keys to pause your game session.

  2. Manage Your Cash:

    • You start with a set amount of cash that is used to rotate tetrominoes.
    • Every rotation costs a portion of your cash, so think carefully before spinning!
    • If you run out of cash, you’ll have to wait 15 seconds for your next “paycheck” to continue rotating.

  3. Strategic Spending:

    • Balance spending on rotations to maximize your line-clearing potential without going broke.
    • Use your funds efficiently, as excessive spinning on one piece could cost you valuable time and options.

Features

  • HUD (Heads-Up Display): Track your score, level, lines cleared, remaining cash, and countdown to your next “paycheck.”
  • Mobile Support: Now playable on mobile devices! Tap and swipe to control your tetrominoes—play anytime, anywhere.
