What is Tetris?
Tetris is one of the most iconic and addictive puzzle games ever created. Originally designed by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984, it challenges players to manipulate falling geometric shapes called tetrominoes to create complete horizontal lines. When a line is completed, it disappears, earning you points. Our online version implements the modern SRS (Super Rotation System) with features like ghost pieces, hold functionality, and the 7-bag randomizer for fair piece distribution. Perfect for both casual players and competitive Tetris enthusiasts!
