I made some Quadrapassel backgrounds/wallpapers for your desktop. Based on the best Quadrapassel theme. :)

I call them Quadrapassel throne and Quadrapassel throne exploded.

Had to make my own SVGs for the tetrominoes. Let me know if you want them to make something :)

Yo dawg, I heard you like games…

Good thing #Quadrapassel implemented my idea for auto-pausing on lost focus, so that I can game a bit while I wait for the slow game to finish its slow stuff, and I can just Alt+Tab between them.

Holy smokes! I reached 2 million points in #Quadrapassel! Level 19, 160 lines! Starting on level 3 (difficulty 0 = lvl1).

Last night I watched several of aGameScouts videos about professional Tetris. Quite fun stuff, actually! Try this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPyf5kIGoKA :)

Fit falling blocks together

Hey, I reached a 7 digit score on #Quadrapassel (which I've learned do not calculate the score exactly like original #tetris)!

It's also my best run in terms of levels (14) and lines (133), which, because of the complicated way scores are calculated didn't have to be the case

Unfortunately #Gnome games support does not support showing extra info in the scoreboard, so I have to add it manually. But if you're a dev you could help fix that here https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgnome-games-support/-/issues?show=eyJpaWQiOiIzNSIsImZ1bGxfcGF0aCI6IkdOT01FL2xpYmdub21lLWdhbWVzLXN1cHBvcnQiLCJpZCI6MjI5NzA0fQ%3D%3D
