Tetris is a logic-based puzzle game where your goal is to arrange blocks so that horizontal or vertical rows are filled so that they disappear from the screen.
Your goal is simple: rotate and move falling Tetriminos to form complete horizontal rows of blocks. When a row is filled with blocks and there are no gaps, the row disappears, allowing you to score points and free up space on the game board. The game speeds up as you clear more rows, requiring faster reflexes and sharper decisions. However, if the blocks are stacked too high and reach the top of the screen, the game is over and you have to start over.
This balance of simplicity and increasing complexity has made Tetris a timeless classic. Whether you want to kill time with a quick round or master the game and get a high score, Tetris offers an addictive combination of strategy, reflexes, and fun.
The core mechanics of Tetris revolve around falling Tetriminos, which are geometric shapes made up of four connected blocks. These shapes include the familiar I, O, T, S, Z, J, and L pieces, each of which can rotate and move horizontally to fit on the grid. You must quickly decide where and how to place each Tetrimino as it falls, aiming to form complete rows without leaving any gaps.
Using the arrow keys, you can rotate Tetriminos to place them in the best possible position on the grid. Left and right movements help position the pieces, while the down arrow helps the player increase the falling speed, allowing for faster placement. Timing and precision are important, as placing a piece in the wrong place can create gaps that make it more difficult to erase lines later.
