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!

Use arrow keys to control falling tetrominoes: Left/Right to move, Up to rotate, Down to drop faster. Complete horizontal lines to clear them and score points. The game ends when blocks stack to the top. Clear 4 lines at once for a Tetris and maximum points!

SRS is the modern standard rotation system for Tetris. It includes wall kicks - when you rotate a piece and it would collide with the wall or other blocks, the game automatically tries to shift it to nearby positions. This allows advanced moves like T-Spins and makes rotation more forgiving and powerful.

Scoring in Tetris:
• Single (1 line): 100 × level
• Double (2 lines): 300 × level
• Triple (3 lines): 500 × level
• Tetris (4 lines): 800 × level
• Soft drop: 1 point per row
• Hard drop: 2 points per row

Clearing more lines simultaneously gives exponentially more points!

Press C to hold the current piece in reserve. You can swap it back later by pressing C again. This is strategic - save an I-piece for a Tetris, or hold a difficult piece until you have a better spot for it. You can only hold one piece at a time and can't hold twice in a row.

The ghost piece is a translucent preview showing exactly where your current piece will land if you hard drop. It helps you place pieces precisely and plan your moves better. You can toggle it on/off in settings.

The 7-bag system ensures fair piece distribution. All 7 tetromino types are shuffled randomly into a 'bag', then dealt one by one. Once the bag is empty, a new bag is shuffled. This means you'll never go more than 12 pieces without seeing a specific type - preventing frustrating droughts!

You level up every 10 lines cleared. Higher levels increase the falling speed, making the game more challenging. You can start at any level from 1-15 in settings. The drop interval decreases by 50ms per level, with a minimum of 100ms at level 19+.

There are 7 tetromino types:
• I-piece (Cyan): Long straight line - best for Tetris
• O-piece (Yellow): 2×2 square - doesn't rotate
• T-piece (Purple): T-shape - enables T-Spins
• S-piece (Green): Zigzag right
• Z-piece (Red): Zigzag left
• J-piece (Blue): L-shape (mirrored)
• L-piece (Orange): L-shape

Each has unique rotation states and strategic uses!

A T-Spin is an advanced technique where you rotate a T-piece into a tight space using wall kicks. When done correctly before clearing lines, it awards bonus points. T-Spins require precise positioning and are considered skill-based moves in competitive Tetris.

Yes! The game is fully responsive with real touch controls. Tap to rotate, hard drop, or hold, and press-and-hold the left, right, and soft-drop buttons for smooth continuous movement across the board. The board auto-scales to fit any phone screen for smooth gameplay on smartphones and tablets.

Yes! Your high score is automatically saved to your browser's local storage and persists across sessions. Statistics for line clears (Single, Double, Triple, Tetris) are tracked per game session.

Soft drop (Down arrow): Makes the piece fall faster but you can still adjust position. Awards 1 point per row dropped.

Hard drop (Space): Instantly places the piece at the bottom position shown by the ghost piece. Awards 2 points per row dropped. Use hard drop when you're certain of placement!
