How to Play
Tetris is the iconic puzzle game that has captivated players for decades. The objective is to arrange falling geometric shapes called "tetrominoes" to create complete horizontal lines. When a line is completed, it disappears and you earn points.
The game features seven different tetromino shapes, each composed of four blocks: I (line), O (square), T, S, Z, J, and L. These pieces fall from the top of the screen one at a time, and you must rotate and position them to fill gaps in your stack.
As you progress, the pieces fall faster, requiring quick thinking and precise movements. The game ends when the stack of blocks reaches the top of the playing field. This version includes hold functionality, ghost piece preview, and smooth modern controls.
