  • Tetraminos offers a unique twist on classic Tetris with new block types and colorful graphics, making it visually appealing.
  • The game is easy to pick up and play, making it accessible for casual gamers and Tetris enthusiasts alike.
  • At a discounted price, it provides decent entertainment value, especially for those who enjoy quirky Tetris-like experiences.
  • The game lacks essential features like dual rotation and holds, which can frustrate players accustomed to traditional Tetris mechanics.
  • Movement speed is slow and can hinder gameplay, especially at higher levels, making it less enjoyable for competitive players.
  • The interface can be overly flashy and confusing, making it difficult to see where blocks are being placed, which detracts from the overall experience.
  • music
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as pleasant but limited, featuring only one track that loops seamlessly, which some players found relaxing. While it fits the arcade feel and complements the gameplay, many reviewers noted the lack of variety and volume control options, comparing it unfavorably to the original Tetris music. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as generic electronic techno that, while suitable, fails to leave a lasting impression.

    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
    • “Very solid Tetris clone; has some pretty cool colorful graphics and music while sticking to that arcade feel; definitely worth the price as a cheaper alternative if you don't like or can't afford any of the actual Tetris games.”
    • “The presentation is similar to the developer's breakout game, both the graphics and the music, but also the technical aspects.”
    • “The game blasts at full volume and in settings you can only turn on/off sounds and music; there's no option to just lower the volume.”
    • “They should add music choices and volume control.”
    • “The same goes for the music - generic electronic techno that fits the game perfectly, but will leave your memory the moment you turn off the game.”
  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a unique control scheme that includes a hard drop button and clockwise rotation only, which can lead to choppy movement and difficulties at higher speeds. While the introduction of new shaped pieces and a puzzle mode adds variety, the quick locking of pieces and an annoying scoring sound detract from the overall experience. Players noted that the game's responsiveness and piece connection mechanics significantly impact the enjoyment of advanced maneuvers.

    • “The puzzle option gives another level of gameplay from the traditional version of Tetris, and opens the game to more variations of gameplay.”
    • “The most important mechanic is then how the game 'feels' to play - like responsiveness and how pieces connect for advanced maneuvers.”
    • “As for the gameplay, it's rather unique in that you have dpad left right for movement, a button to hard drop (yes really) and x button to rotate clockwise; no anticlockwise rotation.”
    • “The movement is pretty choppy and makes playing at the higher speeds actively difficult. The scoring noise is obnoxious and will quickly get on your nerves. The new shaped pieces are honestly rather welcome, save for the dreaded + piece (which is thankfully rather rare and seems to come up as a curveball more than anything), and the pieces themselves lock in rather quickly, again hindering that high-speed gameplay.”
    • “As for the gameplay, it's rather unique in that you have the d-pad left and right for movement, a button to hard drop (yes, really), and the X button to rotate clockwise; no anticlockwise rotation.”
    • “That is truly the only major mechanical difference between this and classic simple Tetris games.”
  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are described as colorful and visually appealing, featuring high contrast neon aesthetics that enhance the arcade feel. While it serves as a budget-friendly alternative to official Tetris games, the visuals and sound effects contribute to a solid overall presentation, reminiscent of the developer's previous titles.

    • “Visuals are honestly rather pretty, and the voice-over lady sounds bored out of her mind in a rather amusing way.”
    • “Very solid Tetris clone; has some pretty cool colorful graphics and music while sticking to that arcade feel; definitely worth the price as a cheaper alternative if you don't like or can't afford any of the actual Tetris games.”
    • “✅ High contrast, neon graphics.”
    • “The presentation is similar to the developer's breakout game, both the graphics and the music, but also the technical aspects.”
    • “Visuals are honestly rather pretty, and the voice over lady sounds bored out of her mind in a rather amusing way.”
    • “To me there are two possible demographics this serves today; (1) is people who are looking for a cheap 'why not' game or are such cheapskates they don't want official Tetris games because they don't go as cheap as this one, and (2) is weirdos who enjoy playing crusty janky copycats and adjacent games.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story emphasizes resilience and the unpredictability of life, highlighting that perseverance in the face of adversity can lead to unexpected and rewarding outcomes.

    • “The moral of the story is that you never know what life has in store for you. If I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
