The last time we got our hands on Tetropolis, it won a PAXpocalypse Award as one of our favorite games of PAX East 2014. Since then, developer NextGen Pants has been hard at work adding “new content and challenges” to their puzzle platformer. After making all of these improvements (which are chronicled in an update to their development blog), the team is ready to show off some new gameplay footage as well as tease the dystopian society at the center of the game:
Tetropolis is a non-linear puzzle platformer set in a world obsessed with falling block puzzles. In the city of Tetropolis, thousands of game pieces are manufactured every minute in order to meet the demands of “the game.” You play as a square-shaped tetromino that has failed the quality check and has been discarded for not being perfect. Unlike other discarded pieces, you obtain the ability to change into different shapes, each one possessing its own unique ability that you can use to traverse the world.
Tetropolis will be available for the PC (and possibly other platforms) in 2015.
