What is TetraPuzzle
Think fast and stack sharp in TetraPuzzle. Rotate each falling shape to clear the board and keep the blocks from reaching the top.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys to move pieces left or right, and press the up arrow to rotate them. Aim to drop each shape so it completes a horizontal line, which will disappear and earn you points.
Tips for Playing
- Look ahead and plan where each shape fits before it lands.
- Keep the stack level to make it easier to slot new pieces.
- Save the straight four-square piece for gaps that others can't fill.
- Rotate pieces while they are falling to adjust your aim smoothly.
- Clear multiple rows at once to maximize your score bonus.
