The reason I didn't do that is because of in-app purchases and cloud saving relying on it. Google play services isn't required for the game it is optional, so there is a simple solution. You can install the the apk and disable internet for the it. Would that be a viable solution for you?
I use Itch to avoid features like in-app purchases, I prefer a one-time payment for the full game. I don’t have Google Play installed, instead I use Mitch to download and update my games https://gardenapple.itch.io/mitch
Hey, i had bought colortris and all its expansions on google play, because i love it!i still have it installed, however its not on google play anymore and i wonder if i have to buy it somewhere else now to receive updates? I tried mitch but i cant find it on there either...?
I get that this is trying to be tetris, but it's missing the "bag" mechanic. In normal tetris, you're not given pieces in a pure random way, instead it makes a group of every block, randomizes the order, and sends that group so that the game can remain far
Thanks for your comment. You are right, and I am aware of it. It is a easy thing to implement and I did do so in a previous version. But then I saw that many early versions of tetris like the NES version lacked that mechanic and it made the game less predictable and a little more challenging in my opinion. So I reverted back to the randomness. Hope you weren't too bothered by it. I may change it in future. 💚

Can you provide an Android APK directly to itch that doesn’t require Google Play Services? I specifically use itch.io to avoid that.

Okay, understood. I'll make such a version for itch, but I will be a little busy this week, I'll try to publish it next week.
