Aspectos simbólicos e formais de um jogo

Analisando Tetris Effect: Connected

Authors

Abstract

This article delves into the symbolic, imagistic, and imaginative potential of the electronic puzzle game Tetris Effect: Connected (Enhance Games, 2020), the Japanese version of the Soviet Tetris designed for virtual reality devices. To establish a conceptual foundation, we will provide definitions of symbol, image, and imagination. Subsequently, we will revisit pivotal attributes in the historical development of the original Tetris, followed by a particular focus on its Japanese title. We will do a Formal Analysis of Gameplay, taking the formal, audiovisual, and symbolic game aspects. Finally, we understand that Tetris Effect: Connected offers us a synesthetic ludomusical experience centered not only on the relationship between mechanics and components but also on its imagistic and symbolic infrastructure.
