Gameplay:
|
||
The system provides the player with 7 types of tetrominoes (4-mino blocks), which the player must control
|
||
(by moving left and right, and rotating 90°, 180°, or 270°) until they fall to the bottom of the screen and are locked.
|
||
A line is cleared when it is filled. If an opponent is present, an attack will be sent based on the type of line clear.
|
||
You can win by surviving to the end or by completing the level's objective.
|
||
|
||
Rotation System:
|
||
TRS (Techmino Rotation System) is used by default in Techmino,
|
||
but it can be changed to other commonly used ones (though generally unnecessary).
|
||
|
||
Spin Detection:
|
||
Spins in Techmino are calculated by a point system.
|
||
|
||
2 points are added if the spin satisfies the 3-corner rule (see entry in the dictionary),
|
||
and another 2 points are added if the block is immobile after the spin.
|
||
*A rotation is counted as a spin as long as one of the above conditions is true.*
|
||
|
||
1 point is added if the rotation does not use the second test in the kick table.
|
||
|
||
A spin is considered "mini" if it has only 2 points, the block being rotated is S, Z, J, L, or T,
|
||
and the line clear does not clear the entire block (i.e. with residue).
|
||
|
||
Attack System:
|
||
Special Clear:
|
||
Special Clears include Spins, Techrashes (or Techrash+, clearing 4+ lines at once), PC, and HPC.
|
||
Special Clears fill up the B2B meter.
|
||
Super Clear:
|
||
A Super Clear is a Special Clear performed in B2B or B3B status.
|
||
|
||
Special Clears with spins:
|
||
This sends an attack with twice the number of line(s) cleared.
|
||
- Extra 1, 1, 2, 4, and 8 attacks are added for single, double, triple, Techrash, and Techrash+ (4+ lines), respectively,
|
||
when the player is in B2B status.
|
||
- Extra attacks with half the number of line clears and an extra line of blocking are added when the player is in B3B status
|
||
in addition to B2B.
|
||
- A mini spin reduces the attack to ¼ of the original value.
|
||
|
||
Special Clears (Techrash or Techrash+ but no spins):
|
||
This sends an attack with the same number of line clears.
|
||
- A extra line of attack is added if a player is in B2B status.
|
||
- Extra attacks with half the number of line clears and an extra line of blocking are added when the player is in B3B status
|
||
in addition to B2B.
|
||
|
||
Non-special clears:
|
||
This sends an attack with ½ line less than the number of line clears.
|
||
|
||
Combos (or REN):
|
||
Combo attacks are calculated by multiplying the previous attacks (calculated above) by a "combo factor".
|
||
This factor is equal to 15% (if it's a single) or 25% (if else) of the number of combos (max 12) you have.
|
||
Note that the number of combos is one less than the number of consecutive lines you have cleared.
|
||
An extra line of attack is added if you have 2 or more combos.
|
||
|
||
Half Perfect Clear (see entry in Zictionary):
|
||
This sends Four extra lines of attack and gives you two extra lines of blocking.
|
||
|
||
Perfect Clear (or All Clear):
|
||
This sends anywhere from 8 to 16 attacks. The first PC gives you 8 lines of attack, and each additional PC in a game gives you
|
||
2 extra lines of attack (up to 16). It also gives you two extra lines of blocking.
|
||
Note that PC attacks are calculated separately. The final attacks will be the greater of the PC attack and other attacks combined.
|
||
|
||
After the above calculation, the attack value is rounded down and sent to the opponent.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Back to Back (B2B) meter:
|
||
The B2B meter can have 0 to 1000 points.
|
||
A player is in B2B status when the B2B meter is between 50–800 points.
|
||
A player is in B2B2B (B3B) status when the B2B meter is over 800 points.
|
||
The following operations can affect the B2B meter.
|
||
|
||
Line Clears:
|
||
Special Clears:
|
||
- Spins that clear a single, double, triple, Techrash, and Techrash+ are worth 50, 100, 180, 800, and 1000 points respectively.
|
||
The points are halved if it is a mini spin.
|
||
- A Techrash is worth 150 points, and any additional line cleared at the same time is worth another 50 points.
|
||
- A PC is worth 800 points if you have already cleared more than 4 lines in this game.
|
||
- An HPC is worth 100 points.
|
||
- A non-Special line clear deducts 250 points from the B2B meter.
|
||
|
||
Non-Line Clears
|
||
- A spin with no line clear is worth 20 points. An empty spin adds no points once the meter reaches 800 points
|
||
and subtracts 40 points if you are in B3B status (until the meter reaches 800).
|
||
|
||
Scoring system:
|
||
The scoring system is not described here due to its complex calculation and it could be changed from time to time.
|
||
Generally speaking, the better you play, the higher the score. Scoring is also independent of the individual modes.
|
||
|
||
Attack delay:
|
||
An attack will not take effect immediately to give the player some reaction time before defending.
|
||
Different attacks have their own delay before they can enter the field, but they generally follow this order:
|
||
Doubles and Triples have the least delay, followed by Techrashes, spins, and combo attacks. B2B and B3B also increase delay slightly,
|
||
and Minis increase delay significantly.
|
||
|
||
Counter Attacks:
|
||
When a player tries to send attacks, the extra blocking from special clears is used to clear the garbage lines
|
||
before the actual attacks are used (at a 1:1 ratio). The earliest attacks will be canceled out first.
|
||
Any extra blockings not used are discarded. The remaining attacks are sent to the opponent.
|
||
|
||
Battle Royale modes:
|
||
In Battle Royale modes, the player fights against many bots at once.
|
||
As the bots are eliminated, the gravity increases, the attack delays decrease, and the garbage lines rise faster.
|
||
Defeating a bot gives you a badge and all the badges that the bot has, which increases your attack.
|
||
|
||
A player can choose from the following four attack modes.
|
||
1. Random: Move the target of the attack to another random bot (with a 10% probability) after each attack.
|
||
2. Badges: Move the target of the attack to the bot with the most badges after each attack or when the target is defeated.
|
||
3. K.O.s: Moves the target of the attack to the bot with the highest stack in the field. Refreshes every second.
|
||
4. Attackers: Moves the target of the attack to all bots targeting you. If there is no bot targeting you, a random bot will be targeted.
|
||
|
||
The last player remaining in the game is the winner when all opponents have been eliminated.
|
||
|
||
Custom Games:
|
||
You can freely adjust most parameters (not including special effects of other game modes).
|
||
You can also draw a stack in the field to be cleared (Clear mode), or create a template to use as a target for building (Puzzle Mode).
|
||
|
||
In Puzzle mode, you can use the function keys to toggle the display of the template. In order to win,
|
||
cells with X's cannot have any blocks,
|
||
empty cells can be in any state,
|
||
cells with color must be occupied by corresponding blocks,
|
||
and garbage-colored cells must be occupied by a block (no restrictions on block types).
