Polytris is a game with falling polyomino blocks,1 to 5 connected square blocks. The objective is to stay in game by removing rows. (You don't need explanation, do you?) Tetrisｪ is one of variations of Polytris which uses only tetrominoes, 4 connected squares.
Polytris is more challenging because it has 29 kinds of blocks, bombs, weights and water balloons. Depending on your skill, you can adjust the difficulty of the game. It can be configured as from 'Someone's Tetris' to 'Ultra Super Duper Extra Tris Plus'. (I never tried this one.)
Polytris is a shareware game. If you want to use it, please send at least 'ONE US DOLLAR' to the following address. You may, of cource, send more money if you feel this game is worth more than one dollar. Please help a graduate student to get his degree. If you send $10 or more, you will recieve a diskette with the latest versions of other games. Thanks for your payment in advance. Any comments or bug reports are welcome.
