About this game
Fortress is a Tetris -variant puzzle game.
As in that classic game, geometric pieces fall from the top of the screen and must be arranged in lines.

Only instead of eliminating lines, the objective this time is to add them to the screen.
The game starts with a timer (that counts a moment where neither player attack) and a castle gate falling between two flags (the opponent's flags can be seen to the left of the screen).
Once placed, the remaining pieces are used to build a castle around it, as every 2x3 grid of pieces transforms into its walls.
A grid of 8x3 pieces transforms into a wizard's tower that can summon a creature to attack the enemy castle.
Certain special blocks add features to the building: a cannon block places a shooting cannon that starts to attack automatically the opponent's fortress.
A block with a window adds one to the building.
Repairing peons come out of it to help fix the damage to the castle's walls.
A block with a bomb adds a cannon that fires a peon towards the opponent's castle (an aiming reticule is shown over the enemy castle to help choose the right spot).
Building walls around these special blocks prevent their destruction from the enemy attack.
A monster appears randomly at the bottom of the screen to attack both players.
The player's goal at each level is to reach a number of score points before the opponent.
The pieces can be maneuvered with the digital pad, and pressing UP on it makes them fall fast downwards.
They can be rotated clockwise and anti-clockwise with the A and B buttons, respectively.
Holding the R trigger allows the player to move the screen with the digital pad (for a full view of battle scene).
When pressed, the L trigger destroys the top 3 rows of your castle and decreases the score.
The game has three game modes: tournament, battle and blitz.
They vary in the amount of seconds on the timer and the goal score.
There are four themes: pre-historic, medieval, pirate and space.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Fortress (itch) (David Mills - Game Developer!) for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Fortress (itch) (David Mills - Game Developer!) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2022.
