Tetris is a falling-block puzzle game where you rotate pieces, clear full lines, and survive as the speed increases.
Here's a quick look at the game:
Tetris is a classic puzzle game where falling pieces must be rotated and placed inside a vertical playfield. Complete a full horizontal line to clear it and make room for more blocks.
What You Do in the Game
Each piece falls from the top of the board. You move it left or right, rotate it, and choose where it lands. If the stack reaches the top, the game ends.
The challenge grows as the game speeds up. Clean stacking and fast decisions become more important than perfect placement.
Controls
| Action | Common Key |
|---|---|
| Move left / right | Arrow Keys |
| Rotate | Up Arrow |
| Soft drop | Down Arrow |
| Hard drop | Space |
| Hold piece | C or Shift, depending on version |
How to Play Well
Build a flat stack with room for future pieces. Try not to create deep holes unless you are saving them for a long straight piece.
Tips for Better Scores
- Keep the board low and even.
- Learn how each piece rotates.
- Avoid covering empty gaps.
- Save the straight piece for big clears when possible.
- Use hard drop only when you are sure about placement.
Why Players Keep Playing
Tetris stays interesting because the rules are simple, but the pressure keeps rising. Every piece is a small decision, and one mistake can change the whole board.
