October 2025 - Ditris

Game of the Month for October 2025: Ditris

Picked from a random selection from the fantastic Amiga Game Selector!

Ditris is a straight Tetris variant without gameplay additions besides a split-screen multiplayer mode. Differently shaped blocks fall from the top of the screen and can be turned and moved left and right on the way to the bottom. The goal is to create full horizontal lines which vaporize after completion: more lines at once reward more points for the high score. The next block is shown in a preview screen and the game is over when a block can't fall far enough to leave the top of the screen.

Going to give this a bash on my new "toy". I just added the Amiga core to it!

Well.. its fast.. or is it just me! Do much better with Tetris normally...  Joystick type controls.. not good for me in this case!

All done as "the green" instructions!

Best is: 2321 (21 Lines)..

Well done mate!  Best I could manage was 1098 and 6 lines.  Yep sure is fast.  At first I thought I had to line up colours but there are a lot of variation, then I realised you can line up any colour to remove a row.. oh well, hope to put more time in next month.

No cheats or passwords played on my A1200

Thank you! Wow! Amazed myself! I was sure that would be the worst score ever!
