Initial design idea

Tetro Tetrii is an online tetris game and community, which allows users to play a double sided tetris game against other users across the world. Users will also be able to chat through a microphone, add friends to their friend list, buy items using fake money, modify their avatars with the items and also have mini profiles. To be able to do this, users will be able to navigate through different parts of the application.

Different sections

Users will be able to navigate through different parts of the application. This is a brief explanation of each section.

- Game rooms: users enter rooms or create their rooms. Up to 5 players in one room and each game in the room lasts five minutes or ten minutes depending on the room maker's decision.
- Highscores: top 50 people for that week can be displayed here. They get rewarded with a limited edition item (one that is not available at the avatar shop).
- Friends: add/remove friends. You can also check what game room they're in.
- Items: at the shop there are different items you can buy using the fake money. Items for your avatar to wear or even game items such as items that allow your blocks of tetris to be patterned with cute faces, certain colours, etc. You can also edit what items your avatar has equipped.
- Profile: edit your own profile, only includes your avatar pixel, highest score, name, age and what country you live in.
- Account: you can change your password or email.

How the game works

The tetris blocks will fall down the centre of the rectangular screen. The user will have to turn the iPhone 90 degrees to the left or right so that the iPhone sensors will rotate the block's direction of fall to one side of the screen. Once directed to one side of the screen, the block can be rotated by slightly shaking the iPhone. The down arrow can then be touched so that the block will fall down quickly.

Basically you're playing tetris on two sides of one screen. Instead of having chat like multiplayer tetris games, users will be able to talk to each other through a microphone on the iPhone.

For creating a bomb, 3 lines of blocks must be cleared. To bomb another player you will have to select a bomb from your bomb inventory and then touch another player's tetris screen. Bombing will cause the other player's iPhone to vibrate and also gain 3 gappy lines of blocks to affect their performance in the game. Also during the tetris games fake money coins in between tetris blocks will come out once in a while. If you clear a row of blocks with coins you get to keep them. These coins can be used to buy items for your avatar or items for your friends.
