When there is actually something happening it the Swiss games' scene, it should be noted. Even more so when the game is
- available for free
- based on a clever idea
- and released without much fanfare.
Well, here comes the fanfare.
Roman Schmid (likely known to you as @bummzack on Twitter) created a Tetris clone for two, playable on your iPad, named Block Duel. It's not just your normal 1v1 game you know from the GameBoy version. You play on the same screen, one player with white blocks, the other with black ones – and whatever your opponent drops on his side becomes a hole from your perspective. It is, in short, a clever play on negative space – but what else could you expect from a person well thought in the arts of graphic design?
So, if you and your loved one have grown tired of Orbital1, Block Duel might be just the thing for you.
Read more about it on Roman Schmid's website or grab it directly on the app store. Oh, did I mention it's free? Yes, it totally is.

It is really a clever play. A graphic designer like Roman could make such a nice game. As a designer from years of experience, I know how difficult it is to make good games like this. If you are expecting something so high then it is your fault. I appreciate your hard work Roman. You can do better things and bring different games for us. Can you host it in a Cloud Hosting server. Keep working on it and keep entertaining us like this.
