Description:

Futuriana presents a compelling take on the classic Tetris and Pentix puzzle genres, featuring unique 5-cube pieces specifically tailored for touch devices. The game is aesthetically designed to emulate a vintage computer experience, complete with a glitchy black-and-white display that evokes a sense of nostalgia for many players. Notably, these visual glitches can be deactivated in the app settings for those who prefer a clearer interface.

It is essential to note that Futuriana offers a greater level of challenge compared to its 4-cube counterpart, Tetris. Players are introduced to a responsive control system: when a new piece appears, touching the display allows for lateral movement and rotation. Specifically, sliding up or down rotates the piece while simultaneously moving it in the desired direction. A small “handle” appears attached to the piece during touch interactions, aiding in visualization of potential movements.

To drop pieces, players can execute a brief touch, with an additional touch capable of halting descent. This mechanism allows players to both move and rotate pieces fluidly in one gesture, facilitating a quicker development of gameplay dynamics than traditional variants.

Futuriana features an adaptable interface, enabling play with either hand by flipping controls, which inversely adjusts gesture directions accordingly. Additionally, the game is structured around timed levels that encourage speedy play: initial pieces will be stationary to facilitate practice, but game speed increases every three minutes up to a maximum level of 30, with 29 increments in total. Successfully maintaining gameplay at maximum speed offers the unique opportunity for extended play sessions.

Scoring is contingent on landing pieces at lower levels (thus minimizing stack height) and efficiently clearing multiple lines simultaneously. Players are incentivized through generous point awards for these actions, emphasizing an aggressive and fast-paced strategy.

The high scores table requires a minimum score of 500 for recording achievements. Presently, this leaderboard is stored locally, though there are indications that future updates may incorporate online networking features.

Customization features within the app settings (Home -> Settings -> Futuriana) allow users to toggle visual aids such as grid overlays and handles as well as activate or deactivate vintage display effects.
