History VideoGame / NullpoMino

* UnintentionallyUnwinnable: Some rotation systems, particularly those based on those of NES ''Tetris'' and Game Boy ''Tetris'', do not have lock delay; pieces immediately lock in place once they land on the floor or another piece. Combine this with setting the fall speed to 20G[[labelnote:*]]20 grid cells per frame (one frame being 1/60th of a second). Since the playing field is typically 20 cells high, 20G is effecitvely instant drop speed.[[/labelnote]] and you have a round where you can't move pieces ''at all'', resulting in a swift GameOver.

'''Nullpo Mino''' is a Java-based VideoGame/{{Tetris}} game, which was developed as an attempt to rebuild Heboris Unofficial Expansion from the ground up, and have something much easier to write code for so that updating it and adding new modes would be less of a nightmare. The two main components of Nullpo Mino are modes and rules. Modes are the specific modes of play, such as Marathon (basic mode that goes to 150 or 200 lines, or lasts till game over), Line Race (clear 20, 40 or 100 lines as fast as possible) and Ultra (time limit to score as many points as possible). Rules are the mechanics that dictate how the pieces are controlled, like [=Classic1=] (based on ''VideoGame/TetrisTheGrandMaster''), Standard (based on TGM ACE's SRS mode), and Nintendo-L (based on Game Boy Tetris). Because modes and rules are independent of each other, you can play just about any mode with any rule.

At present, Nullpo Mino has modes and/or rules representing the following Tetris games:

!Nullpo Mino displays the following tropes:

* LawyerFriendlyCameo: There are modes and rules for games called ''[[VideoGame/DrMario Physician]]'', ''[[VideoGame/PuyoPuyo Avalanche]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/SuperPuzzleFighter SPF]]''. They all use totally different pieces and game mechanics from the Tetris-based modes and rules, so mixing them up probably won't work.
