About Tetris

Tetris is a puzzle game where geometric shapes descend into a play area. The objective involves arranging these pieces so that they create complete horizontal lines, which then vanish from the screen.

Gameplay becomes challenging as the speed at which the shapes fall gradually increases. Failure occurs when un-cleared pieces accumulate and reach the top of the playfield, ending the session.
