It was released on digital distribution service Steam for Windows, OS X, and Linux, and for the PlayStation Plus service in August 2016, before being released on PlayStation 4 a month later. It was released on Xbox One on September 18, 2017, and on the Nintendo Switch on… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

    This week, we’re playing a favorite take on physics Tetris, Tricky Towers. Choosing to take a more Jenga approach over faithfully trying to replicate Tetris, we take a tour through all the game modes in this bracket. It’s gonna be a blasty blast. Come play with us challonge.com/PWTricky5th

    Incredibly fun party game and it hurts not to recommend it, but it's full of bugs and not so full of players as a result of that. Although it's fun to play, it's hard to find other players online. When you find them, the games often present us with game crashing bugs. Sometimes, you get stuck on a glitched lobby, other times you get stuck on a black screen, other times you even get stuck after a round. All of these times I need to force shut down the game. Also, I have encountered a bug where…

    Play this game with friends who also love playing tetris! Tetris is a game that relies on physics, right? We already know that in tetris gravity is a tyraniccal Queen... But what about playing it on nature instead of in a big blank box? Feel the effect of the wind, leaves and even snow in you most beloved bricks. You"ll have tree game modalities: who builds the taller (and sufficient stable) tower of blocks first? Who keeps fitting in the strangest blocks in the world without dropping any for…

    Love it! Very fun, lighthearted and silly, one of my most favorite puzzle games Online is kind of dead now so don't expect random matchmaking to find people quick (there are still some playing though, just may take some time to find players), but it's still super fun to play with friends and solo in challenges

    This game is absolutely amazing except for one big problem in survival. It has way too much RNG to be consistently playable, and the snowman attack is just so unfun because it just involves no skill and its super buggy. I really wish the game developers removed the snowmen as you just get punished for no reason and there is barely any counter play.

    Unplayable on linux (Fedora 43 KDE, all drivers installed). Game always opens on the leftmost screen (even if it's not the main one). Game doesn't recognize my pads both directly and via steam input (8bitdo ultimate C2 and Pro2). It wants me to use keyboard. It's the only title I have such issues with.

    The game can be fun at times, but the physics system is deeply flawed. The so‑called "logic" often makes no sense, and the physics feel more like a joke than a feature. There’s been no modernization or meaningful updates, and online play suffers from lag and random disconnects. If your controller dies and you reconnect, tough luck—you’re forced to leave and rejoin, which is incredibly frustrating. On top of that, the limited variety drags the experience down. With only three main game modes…

    Worst game to ever exist PERIOD, nothing on the steam store is worse than this game. When you get fueled with animalistic rage after your tower falls like 9/11, there's nothing more exasperating than this feeling.(This game genuinely makes me so angry....AND if you don't have a 5090 your pc blows up in real life dealing aoe damage, so now your actual tower has been turned into an IED explosive sending shrapnel into you, ending just like how your tricky towers tower decides to end itself…

    If you use different colored blocks and don't use the same well and don't refer to them by their letter names, they can't do anything about it. For instance, the game Tricky Towers can exist just fine, but the closer you get the more they will fight you.

    This game does everything right. Tetris will always be a classic, but you're getting so much more here. The different game modes all add interesting twists, and skill is rewarded but doesn't make games feel deterministic (sometimes the better Tetris player loses their tower anyway!) Lots of fun and no major complaints.

    This game is a pretty fun and simple, the artstyle and music are nice and the gameplay of tetris but with gravity and physics is an interesting idea. While it does work well as a party game to play with friends my biggest complaint would be the rng element of some of the trials and achievements. It takes an absurd amount of retrying the same level over and over again just so the stars align so you can get a win and having to spend hours on a single stage because the entire challenge is based…

    ★★★★★ Tricky Towers is a brilliant physics-based party game that transforms the classic block-stacking formula into a chaotic battle of skill, balance, and strategy. Instead of clearing lines, your goal is to build the tallest and most stable tower while using magical spells to help yourself or sabotage your opponents. The simple mechanics make it easy for anyone to play, but the unpredictable physics and competitive gameplay create hilarious and intense matches. Whether you're racing to the…
