Tetrees

TETREES is a puzzle game about making shapes in trees. The inspiration for the game is retro puzzle games like tetris. The goal is to fill in all of the orange squares on the grid and none of the white squares.

Have fun playing, this was a very fun project to make.

ABOUT

Growing up, I was always told I destroyed my dad's gameboy by dumping a coke on it. Fast forward to 2020, I'm an art student at UCSD making weird interactive art and I'm spending all of my time locked at home. Tetrees is a reflection on some of those times, specifically the times where me and my dad regrew our relationship.

In many ways, this project is me trying to grasp at that childlike connection with my dad through video games–a time before the pandemic, before Trump-ism, and before I grew up.

Tetrees is a game made in PICO8 for the 2022 ICAM senior art show.
