Why it matters
Tournamentris asks players to plan combinations several moves ahead, a slower read than the reactive stacking most falling-block games reward, and Studio ZeF is still adding rules before release.
Key Facts
- Studio ZeF presented Tournamentris at the indie game event DREAMSCAPE#5.
- Tournamentris is a falling-block puzzle built around tournament brackets, with panels numbered 1 to 3.
- A crown placed on a Bridge connecting two panels merges them into one panel with its number raised by one.
- Clearing a larger tournament stops the rise of new panels from the bottom of the screen for longer.
- The game's Steam page is open, and a versus mode is under consideration before release.
Panels with matching numbers combine through a Bridge, and a crown on that Bridge merges the pair into one higher-numbered panel. Linking brackets into larger tournaments clears several panels with one crown and pauses new panels rising from the bottom.
Studio ZeF's build at DREAMSCAPE#5 starts with pips marked 1 to 3 on the stacked panels and pieces falling from above. A Bridge set between two panels forms a matchup section, and a crown dropped on it fuses the pair into a single panel one number higher. Clearing this way costs two steps for one panel, so the game pushes toward larger structures: brackets joined to other panels or brackets clear many panels with one crown and hold back the panels rising from the bottom. Matching numbers still gate every connection, so a pair made from two 1s only accepts a 2 or another pair of 1s. A Booth developer said an earlier version mixed color and number rules and was too complicated. The Steam page is open; a versus mode and a gauge-driven rule are under consideration.
