Randomly shaped pieces drop from the top of the screen. Your job is to arrange them as they fall so that you can drop the greatest number of pieces into the available volume. You maneuver the pieces by rotating them and moving them horizontally. If you have arranged the pieces so that a solid row of squares is formed horizontally, that row will be eliminated, giving you some breathing room.
Your score is a function of three factors: the current level, how quickly you place the pieces, and whether you are peeking at the next piece.
You choose your starting level at the beginning of the game. After that, your level increases every time you eliminate 10 rows, except that if, for example, you start at level 3, you will stay at that level until you have eliminated 30 rows.
You can improve your score by instantaneously dropping pieces as soon as you have them properly aligned.
If you are peeking at the next piece, your award for getting a piece down will be decreased by about one-third. You may find this is worth the price.

Another thing that really makes Tetris enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Tetris. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
