     👆 If you ever wanted Tetris, but mixed with confusing rules and LORE then Drak is for you.
     I played for 20 minutes, and still couldn't figure it out. May I remind you that this is a Tetris clone. So yeah, French videogames strike again!

     @RaphaelWimmer I gave it three honest tries. Don't know what needs to happen to beat level 2. Not to mention the rng generator seems to be broken. I always get three Ls in a row.

     Oh no, now that I have played the game for a few minutes, I am as confused as you. Every time I think I know how the block types behave, I get surprised again.
     A real gem!

     @dosnostalgic This feels as if the developer was unable to find an elusive off-by-one bug in the line-filling code.
     But they decided to ship the game nevertheless because the deadline for the floppy disc factory was close.

     @dosnostalgic I'm not sure if that music is exactly what I expected when I clicked play, or the complete opposite.

     @dosnostalgic Huh? In Level 2 I got almost only 2x2 blocks of various kinds. But the lasers in your video only showed up in Level 3 for me. Maybe I am playing a different version?
