Tetromancer is a Tetris battler where the board is your war economy. Clear lines to conjure an army, then command it in real time against wave after wave of invaders. Stack greedily and you'll field a bigger force, but crowd your board and one bad piece can bury you.

Source facts
What are the three resource colours earned during the Tetris phase?
Clearing lines banks three distinct resource colours: Green represents Health, Yellow provides Utility, and Purple is used for Damage. These resources are essential for deploying your units during the subsequent Command phase of the game.
How does the game handle unit deployment during the battle phase?
Deployment is active rather than automatic. You must manually choose which units to send and determine the precise timing of your push to hold the line and crack the enemy castle before time runs out.
What is the primary purpose of clearing lines in Tetromancer?
Clearing lines serves two main purposes: it banks the three resource colours required to summon troops and it charges your spell mana, which allows you to cast spells during both the Tetris and battle phases.
You begin each run with a single spell. To acquire additional spells, you must visit the roguelite shop between rounds and spend the gold you have earned to expand your available spellbook and arsenal.
What is the strategic trade-off when placing blocks on the board?
Every block placement is a strategic bet. You must balance the need to bank more power by clearing lines against the necessity of leaving enough room on your board to breathe and continue playing effectively.
Generals are characters that rewrite the rules of the game. You command a general with a signature power, while you must outfight enemy generals who bring their own unique tricks to the battlefield during your run.
Between rounds, you visit the roguelite shop to spend your gold. You can use this currency to purchase new spells, upgrade your existing troops, or improve your castle to better withstand the enemy waves.
What happens if the enemy castle is not destroyed in time?
You must crack the enemy castle before the clock runs out or your own walls fall. If you fail to destroy their castle before these conditions are met, you will lose the round and the run.
The game follows a relentless loop consisting of two distinct phases: the Stack phase, where you play Tetris to earn resources, and the Command phase, where you spend those resources to deploy units and fight.
Progression allows you to unlock new units and generals. As you play, you can reach steeper prestige tiers and attempt to complete dozens of achievements, which helps you build a different arsenal for every run.
