TetriCycle is Tetris projected onto a cylindrical surface. Rotate the cylinder left/right such that the descending piece falls into place.

TetriCycle is freeware, can be distributed freely and should never be charged for.

A higher quality video is available here.

Development Log

v0.2b

  • 2nd Release: 12/14/09
  • Added support for Nunchuck alternative.svg + Wiimote.svg and WiimoteHorizontal.svg.
  • Added support for up to 4 players.

v0.1b

  • Initial Release: 12/6/09
  • I consider this release "pre-alpha", as it's not yet feature complete, but homebrew tends not to follow the typical product development cycle; thus, this is the first "beta" release.
