The gameplay is a unique twist on Tetris, removing gravity and introducing strategic elements like power-ups and locked fields that require careful planning. With a variety of game modes, including a campaign that unlocks new mechanics and boards, players can enjoy a rich and addictive experience that encourages strategic adaptation. The minimalistic aesthetic complements the engaging gameplay, making it accessible yet deep enough to keep players invested.
- “The option for keeping one block for later use is very handy; I missed this feature in so many games before. Gameplay is varied by power-ups and locked fields, so you must plan your moves carefully.”
- “There are many mods for playing, and I enjoy every one of them because each mode has a different game style. There is even a campaign, which isn't very usual in this genre, and I really enjoy it. It really extends the gameplay variability with nice ideas like different game boards or unfreezing new blocks.”
- “All meshed together, the concepts make for addictive gameplay that is easy to get into but also adds enough depth to keep the player engaged and adapting strategies for a long time if this type of gameplay ticks your boxes.”
- “Take the basic gameplay of Tetris but remove gravity.”
- “Most become available as you beat the score requirement on the one connected to it, which also gets you a star, and with enough stars (there are 84 altogether) some other levels open up, off the regular path, and those have further mechanics not present in the rest of the campaign.”
