Gameplay starts off slowly, particularly in the early levels where players manage multiple Tetris games simultaneously, leading to a tedious experience for the first five minutes. However, the pacing improves significantly by level six, as players become accustomed to the mechanics and the action picks up.
- “The pacing in the early levels is very slow due to essentially playing 4 games of Tetris at once. For the first 5 minutes of my first game, it felt like the most boring game I'd played in a while. That goes away by level 6 or so of your first game when the speed of gameplay heats up and you know what to expect for future games, but I feel it needs addressing.”
