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.”
