Tournamentris: a new-sensation merge-style falling-block puzzle game where you build a tournament bracket and compete for the highest score.
Tournamentris is an innovative puzzle game that marries tournament brackets with falling‐block mechanics. Combine numbered panels to build your bracket, and when you crown its champion, the panels merge and vanish. Your score—and even the flow of the game—shifts based on how many panels you clear and the aesthetic structure of your bracket, delivering a simple yet deeply strategic experience.
◼️Game System & Features of Tournamentris
■The Thrill of Building Your Tournament
Link panels with the same number using bridges, then drop a crown to complete the “tournament.” The panels merge and vanish, and your score is awarded.
Types of Number Panels
Panels cycle through combinations in a loop—1 + 1 → 2, 2 + 2 → 3, 3 + 3 → 1. Planning for higher-order merges is the key to mastering the game.
Special Patterned Tournaments
By arranging your bridges into specific formations—Orthodox, DanDan, Max, Full, and more—you can complete special “hands” and earn bonus points.
Create a big tournament to earn bonus time.

The playfield continuously rises over time, shrinking your available space—and if blocks reach the ceiling, it’s game over.
◼️Major update planned for the Steam version.
In addition to the single-player mode currently available on Unityroom and itch.io, the Steam version will include the following updates:
