Game developers keep reinventing Tetris


L-block, I trusted you!

There are a few basic shapes, like L-blocks, squares, and z-shaped squiggles, and the player must interlock the pieces together until rows fill the screen horizontally, which clears them, making room for more bricks. Not only are you playing against dozens of other Tetris fans, but they sabotage your game by sending their overflow blocks over to your screen at the worst possible moments. The big twist here is that you’re playing a game like Tetris, but with each turn, gravity moves like a windmill, and the player must build up a cube in the center rather than a line at the bottom.
