TETRIS

What is TETRIS and How to play?

What is TETRIS?

TETRIS is a new type of puzzle game from the Soviet Union. TETRIS originally came from the word "tetra" meaning the number 4. By arranging four squares, you can make seven different shapes which are the pieces in this game. It's really easy to understand, simple to play, and difficult to drag yourself away from!

Seven different shaped blocks fall down the game field one after the other. The object of the game is to keep the blocks from piling up to the top of the game field. To do this, you can move the blocks to the left and right, and rotate them as they fall.

If you can completely fill in one horizontal line, that line disappears and you get points. If the blocks pile up to the top of the game field, that's the end of the game.

This is a test of your endurance where you must try to get the high score by completing as many lines as possible.
