Tetrimals

Created during LittleJS GameJam 2024.

Important note:

If piece rotation using the Q & E Keys does not work, try refreshing the page, that fixed it for me. Alternatively, pieces can be rotated using the mouse wheel. This game is also available via GitHub Pages

How to play:

Place the pieces in your hand onto the board so that sheep of the same colour are placed next to each other, horizontally or vertically.
If at least 3 sheep are connected this way, they will be removed from the board once all 5 pieces from your hand are used. Then, a new hand will be drawn and the process repeats.

The more sheep in your connection, the more points you'll score.
If you clear the entire board, you'll receive a large amount of bonus points. If you deleted a piece, an all-clear will not be scored during the same hand.

The game ends, when the timer runs out. Scoring will also give some time back. But the timer will run faster over time.
You can delete pieces from your hand (e.g. if they don't fit) but this will take some of your score away, so be careful.

Hints on the control scheme are shown next to the top left corner of the board.

Additional Information:

There is also another game mode featuring chicken, which subsequently follows a slightly different set of rules. More about this can be read in the 'How to play' section, which is strongly recommended to be read in any case.

Credits for assets can be found in the 'How to play' section as well.

Looking forward to high scores that may be shared in the comments.
