When I named the game Tetrical, I didn’t know that it was actually a real word. I was simply mashing together “Tetra”, a prefix meaning four, with the name of my other game, “Cubical“. While searching for sites that have linked to my game, I came across the existing definition of the word Tetrical:
Tetrical: Forward; perverse; harsh; sour; rugged.
From the comments I see from most people that play the game, I feel like they might agree with that definition more.
Kongregate as finally released an AS3 version of their API. There are two methods to integrate the API with your game. The first method is to download a component and compile it into your game. The second method is to load the API at runtime.
As easy as it is to integrate with the Kongregate API through their component, I prefer to do as much as I can through ActionScript without using the Flash IDE. Also, if you are a game developer that posts your game to multiple portals with their own APIs, you may want to only include the API for each domain as needed.

Kongregate has finally released the much anticipated Kongregate API for AS3. I’m going to try and get it integrated into Cubical and Tetrical this weekend. After I get it integrated into Tetrical, I’ll be uploading that game to Kongregate as well.
The first version of Tetrical has been released. Tetrical runs on the same engine as Cubical, but is a more challenging game. Instead of regular shaped boxes of polycubes, Tetrical has polycubes composed of all combinations of four cubes in three dimensions. This makes Tetrical a direct analog to Tetris in three dimensions.Watch movie online The Transporter Refueled (2015)

- Previously, if the player tried to rotate the falling polycube from a position where it would go out of bounds, the game denied the rotation. Now, the game will adjust the position of the polycube to allow the rotation while keeping the polycube in bounds.
