About Dushlan

Platform: NES
Developer: Peter McQuillan (music and sounds by Teuthida)
Year: 2016
Genre: Puzzle
Players: 1
License: Homebrew

Peter McQuillan's falling-block puzzle for players who find classic Tetris too easy; Dúshlán is Irish for challenge.

Ten levels each add a twist: new piece shapes beyond the standard seven, upside-down wells, sliding and rising floors, random hazards, attacks from the side and extra lines pushed in from below. Some levels ask you to clear a number of lines, others to defuse every bomb in time or reach a line target before you run out of pieces. You can save a piece and swap it in later, and switch a ghost piece on or off.

The options set the difficulty, how pieces drop, the music and whether Down drops or rotates. Music and sound are by Teuthida. Mega Cat Studios manufactured and distributed the cartridge, which works on both NTSC and PAL consoles.
