There are so many great games to release this year that it feels unfortunate how Tetrachroma will be overlooked by most, as after all, it is *merely* Tetris but with colour matching. But its kinda nuts how thoroughly this singular change completely affects the way you are to play. Standard Tetris builds and metas will not assist you here, requiring you to examine the board in whole new ways and avenues.

As a certified Tetris Freak, it's been so great to get this opportunity to effectively Relearn a Tetris game, and on top of that this is a title with a deep love for other Tetris titles. The aesthetics are clearly inspired by both the beloved Grand Master games by Arika, but also with notes taken from the ur-aesthetic game of Tetris for CD-i. Bonus modes in the game also offer experiences based on the arcade only Tetris Giant and a puzzle mode taking cues from Tetris with Cardcaptor Sakura. It's a genuine Tetris feast, with the only real omission being a multiplayer mode, which I won't hold against a real indie passion project like this.

My only critique is that games of Tetrachroma will last far longer than your typical game of Tetris, leading to larger time commitments than one might be expecting. A standard Marathon Mode in most Tetrises will run for around 150 lines, but Tetrachroma has Marathon last for a staggering 400 lines. It's a lot! Still, will heartily recommend this to any Tetris aficionado.
