Jagtris is a classic puzzle game inspired by the highly popular Tetris, but with some unique twists to make it stand out. It’s a fast-paced, block-stacking game where you arrange falling shapes to complete lines and clear the screen. The game features simple but addicting gameplay mechanics, colorful graphics, and a variety of challenges that make it a great addition to any DOS-based gaming library. Objective: The primary goal of Jagtris is to prevent the screen from filling up with falling blocks by arranging them into complete horizontal lines. Once a line is filled, it disappears, and the player earns points. The game ends when the blocks pile up to the top of the screen. Game Controls: Arrow Keys: Left/Right arrows to move the falling block. Down arrow to speed up the block's fall. Up arrow to rotate the block. Spacebar: Drop the block instantly to the bottom of the screen. Esc: Pause the game. Gameplay Features: Falling Blocks: Blocks come in various shapes (tetrominoes like I, O, T, L, J, S, Z) and colors. Players must rotate and place these blocks carefully to complete horizontal lines. Clearing Lines: When a line is completely filled with blocks, it disappears, and the player earns points. As the game progresses, the blocks fall faster, increasing the challenge. Levels: The game starts with a slow speed, but as you clear lines and advance through levels, the speed at which the blocks fall gradually increases. Each new level brings an increase in difficulty. Power-Ups (Optional): Power-ups can occasionally drop, which could include: Clear Line: Instantly removes a row of blocks. Slow Down: Temporarily slows down the speed of the falling blocks. Bomb: Clears a small section of blocks on the screen. Score and Speed: The faster the blocks fall, the higher the challenge and the more points players earn for clearing lines. Players can track their high score for replay value.
