📜️ "blabla" 📜️

When indie game developers Alexey and Markus are in trouble, their only hope comes from their creation : Tetrobot. This tiny robot can drill blocks of matter one by one, collect them, and recycle them into new pieces of 4 blocks.

Each matter has its specific behaviour, so you have to take advantage of them and use the blocks wisely. Get ready to use your brain and combine your platforming and puzzle-solving skills in this incredible mashup.

🌍️ Wikipedia :Blocks That Matter (also known as BTM) is a two-dimensional indie puzzle platformer developed by Swing Swing Submarine. It was released on August 19, 2011 for Windows, Mac, Linux and Xbox 360. The player takes the role of “Tetrobot”, a robot which is able to collect blocks by hitting them from under (Mario reference) or drilling them, and can then construct shapes in a “puzzle mode” using four blocks at a time. BTM heavily references the games Minecraft and Tetris through the main characters, in-game mechanics and concepts such as “Pajitnovian physics”. The Tetrobot will also be playable as a character in the upcoming game UFHO2.

The game's name comes from special blocks hidden in the story mode levels. They are unusable blocks that initially appear in levels as treasure chests, which serve no purpose other than to unlock bonus levels. The blocks are direct references to famous blocks in games that inspired the developers, such as a ?-block from Super Mario Bros., an Aperture Science Weighted Companion Cube from Portal, Rubik's Cube, and a dice, hence the "blocks that matter".

📕 Description [fr]

Un jeu de plateformes/réflexion en 2D dans lequel le joueur incarne un petit robot foreur, par le studio Swingswing Submarine.

Blocks That Matter est un jeu de plateformes/réflexion commercial en 2D dans lequel le joueur incarne Tetrobot, un petit robot foreur voyageant en sous-sol dans le but de sauver ses créateurs, kidnappés par quelqu'un qui tente de s'approprier leur travail.
Tetrobot est une perceuse robotisée courageuse qui assimile les blocs de matériaux et propriétés diverses, comme le sable, le bois, la pierre, l'obsidienne, le fer et le diamant. Après avoir absorbé les blocs, le joueur devra les recréer sous divers modèles de Tetrominos pour résoudre des énigmes et franchir les niveaux.

Le Gameplay :
Ses auteurs souhaitaient créer une expérience de jeu inédite en mixant entre eux éléments de jeux et mécanismes.
Le concept bouillie/ratatouille est un genre assez populaire et ils l'apprécient particulièrement parce qu'il permet aux joueurs de découvrir à quel point des jeux paraissant si différents d'un premier abord, partagent en fait le même ADN.
