Hi Hackernews, I built a little Tetris-like game called Invisitris, where all but the last placed piece becomes invisible. The board becomes fully visible for a few seconds when you clear rows. And it also becomes visible when your stack becomes dangerously high.

Try it and let me know what you think :)

Cool idea! I want to say there is a similar mechanic in the game Tetris Effect when playing the connected mode against the bossea where pieces become invisible as soon as they are placed. This is slightly more forgiving than that.

Great execution on mobile as well. Almost didn't try it as I didn't expect it to work, but it was intuitive and performant.

What did you use you make it?

Thanks a lot. I'll have to check out Tetris Effect, but pieces becoming and staying invisible sounds really hard. It's plain HTML, CSS and JS. It was a simple enough app that I felt that no framework was needed :)
