Tetroid 2012: how all Tetris will be played in the future
Despite the best efforts of highly paid futurists, most depictions of the future are often completely off base. For example, did you know that Back to the Future Part II takes place in 2015? That means we have only 7 more years to do the following: invent hoverboards and hovercars, manufacture self tying shoe laces and self drying jackets, and produce dehydrated pizza and vitamin enhanced Pepsi cola. We’ve finally made one of those things a reality (I’ll let you figure out which), but we’ve got a long way to go.
However, we now at least have one accurate depiction of the future in Tetroid 2012, an insane, searing indictment of everything videogames were up until the year 2012, when Tetris finally became sentient and uploaded itself onto the world’s vast computing network and assimilating smaller games. Like some kind of perverse reverse time capsule documenting exactly how it will all go down, Tetroid 2012 throws the typical falling block puzzle at you but flips the script and inverts the play field to create a Breakout game of pure confounding befuddlement. Backed my a mellowing trance/techno soundtrack and played against a pulsing psychedelic canvas, Tetroid stands as a clear warning: prepare for the end of human supremacy.
