Thought it would be a cool challenge to get better at game development to try to recreate Tetris. To create this game we used these programs:

-Unity ( For the game creation and building)
-Visual Studio (For code editing)
-Fire Alpaca (For the creation of the tiles)
-BFXR (For the sound effects)
-FL Studios (For the sound tracks)

Overall it was a very fun project and taught me a lot helping me get more confident in making my own games.

Special Thanks:
Hunter - For the amazing soundtrack and playtesting the game in beta. and alpha.
James - Playtesting the game in beta.
My Family- For the encouragement, ideas and playtesting
