Tetris
Falling tetrominoes drop one at a time. Rotate and position each piece to complete horizontal lines. Cleared lines vanish, earning you points and leveling up.

The legendary block-stacking puzzle, right in your browser. Seven distinct tetromino shapes fall from the top of a 10-column, 20-row board. Rotate and position each piece to fill complete horizontal lines, which then clear to make room.
Clearing multiple lines at once earns bonus points — a four-line clear is the ultimate move. Every ten lines cleared bumps you to the next level, where pieces fall faster. A next-piece preview helps you plan ahead. The game ends when a new piece has no room to enter.

Difficulty
Every ten cleared lines increase the level by one. Higher levels make pieces fall faster, giving you less time to position them. The drop interval decreases steadily, creating a smooth difficulty curve from relaxed to frantic.
Scoring
Single line: 100, double: 300, triple: 500, quadruple (Tetris): 800 — all multiplied by the current level. Your personal best and last five scores are stored locally in your browser.
