This is a really cool idea but it's a bit hard to get into right now. Also for some reason the exit/goal never spawned for me? I played the webversion and it seemed like the blocks kept on coming even though they were way up over the screen.
Tried playing the web version but the menu was very laggy and when I finally got in it looked like this. Refreshed and had the same issue. I can download and play just fine though.
I can rotate a piece forever to keep it frozen in place, seems unintentional.
Also there should be a penalty or something to prevent me from playing the "tetris" part of the game first, with no thought on the knight, until I clear enough lines. Right now it feels like I can play tetris (ignoring the knight), and then once I've made an exit, play the dungeon part of the game (and ignore tetris).
That visual bug and the lag of the web version are news to me, I will run some tests but I am honestly not sure what could be causing them.
The endless rotation is 'intended' in the sense that it isn't a bug, but I agree that it trivializes the game a bit. In the previous version I had a 'move counter' where after a number of moves/rotations, the Tetromino would fall down by 1 on its own. I should re-implement it.
The other problem you mentioned is also something I plan to address: aside from the fact that in the final game there would be a reason to want to collect as much loot and level up as much as possible before going for the exit (and thus, a reason to let the Knight move around), I want to add an 'enemy turn' when a tetrom- pentomino is placed. In this phase, all the enemies will take their turn and move across the map regardless of the knight. This, together with aggressive AI that actively looks for the player, should pressure you to actually move the Knight and fight enemies before you get surrounded.

Cool concept, tense gameplay
Got stuck near the end, my tetris cubes filled up and I kept getting more AP

Still fun, I'm just bad at tetris.
Thanks for playing!
