Templok
Gaming was transformed with the creation of Tetris and while it continues to be played among all sorts of players, it has inspired countless more like Templok. In an underwater environment, there's a big problem with ruins and colorful blocks that need to go somewhere. Thankfully, you have the strength to make use of all available space by moving the colorful blocks around. By using your brain, you can sort all of these blocks in a way that will clear out the seas. Just be careful not to lock yourself out of the ruins otherwise you'll never make a breakthrough.
About Templok
The Tetris-style games are all over the place with their themes, appearances, and mechanics, but they're easy to understand. This game plunges you right into the underwater ruins with a selection of blocks to arrange. Even if you don't know the rules, it's self-explanatory for anyone who has even caught a passing glance at Tetris. This game is less stressful by comparison since you can take more time and have more options when it comes to pieces. It's also kind of like Solitaire in that you're playing against the game to put everything into the best order for the highest score and a piece of mind.
How to Play
Templok is a 2D puzzle game about arranging colorful block pieces using the mouse. You can navigate the game UI using the cursor and then click the Left Mouse Button to select the various options. To place pieces, click and hold the Left Mouse Button and then drag the piece into space on the grid. The goal is to get the highest score by making vertical and horizontal lines using the pieces.
The grid is randomly generated with immovable blocks appearing in various spots. The blocks that you have to work with will appear at the bottom, underneath the grid. You'll receive three pieces at a time and a new batch will come in once all the current pieces have been placed. You also have a bubble on the right side next to the selection which can hold one piece at a time. The buttons attached to it let you rotate the current arrangement or reroll it for a new one.
When you fill a column or a row, all the blocks in it will be destroyed. The game will keep going until you have no available moves left and then you'll need to start over. Pieces that can't be placed will be greyed out. You only have a limited number of rotations and rerolls but you can earn more if you fill a column and row at the same time.
Tips and Tricks
A key aspect of how the blocks behave in this game is that they don't fall or move when other blocks are destroyed. This means that you can place blocks anywhere as long as they fit. Don't always go for the quick matches, try to play the long game so that you can complete multiple lines at once.
