Tetris is a quick mindless game that's perfect to zone out, you just place blocks and try to clear rows.
As you progress the game does speed up and become more difficult but overall is a really simple game.
Pieces fall from the top of the well one at a time. Slide them left and right, rotate them, and drop them so they lock together without leaving holes. Fill a full horizontal row and it disappears — that's a line clear, and that's how you score.
Every ten lines the level goes up and the pieces fall faster. The game ends when the stack reaches the top, so the whole thing is a fight to keep your stack low while the speed climbs.
| ← / → | Move the piece left or right |
|---|---|
| ↑ | Rotate the piece |
| ↓ | Soft drop — fall faster |
| Space | Hard drop — slam it straight down |
I love Tetris, it's one of the most competitive games and looks so cool when you are going fast.
I've gotten to the highest speed you can get in the game and it is very challenging.
Super easy to zone out and isn't very hard to get really good at it, so I definitely recommend.
You get points for every line cleared, and clearing several lines with one piece pays far more than clearing them one at a time. A four-line clear (a Tetris) is the big one. Higher levels multiply everything.
Play for a flat stack and no holes first, speed second. Once clean stacking is automatic, speed takes care of itself.
Yes — every ten lines the level goes up and the pieces drop quicker, all the way up to a speed where they basically appear at the bottom.
This version needs a keyboard, so it's really a laptop or desktop game.
