Experience a unique twist on the falling block genre with a multi-layered word adventure! Inspired by analog memories and the classic mechanics of Tetris, this game blends three interconnected gameplay modes using live web sockets:
- Game 1 – Boggle Meets Tetris: Search for 4-letter words shaped like Tetris pieces. Each successful word sends letters into Game 2, influencing the scramble!
- Game 2 – Scramble Chaos: Click bouncing letters and form words of any length. Words you create here send letters back to the Boggle-style grid, creating a dynamic, ever-changing impact.
- Game 3 – Classic Tetris: Clear lines to generate letters for both the Boggle and Scramble games, making every move count across all three games.
Every word find and cleared line affects the other games in real time, creating a chaotic yet harmonious interplay of words and blocks. Can you master the flow of letters across all three games at once? “Can you defy the gravity of your words?”
NOTE: There is a retro CRT overlay to give the look of old analog CRT monitors. There are now a couple of cassette tapes that you can use to play some background music.

By the way, although the submission above is published at the Itch.io page, the following separately linked and hosted versions successfully allow for playing individual games suitable on mobile devices. Also since my backend server is hosted separately from Itch (echoing live gameplay to other simultaneous games), this only works on my separate hosted versions listed below.
