Personal review

One of the most basic and addicting games of all time. Object just to complete a full row without any spaces. Simple right? Now try going at high speed...

Description

Pieces are made from 4 connected squares in 7 variations and can be rotated 90 degrees as they slowly drop until they hit bottom of 'the bucket' or other squares. Fill in all 10 squares in a row to make it vanish for points. Completing 2 or 3 rows at once results in bonus points. Completing 4 rows at once is called a 'tetris' and scores the most. The 'B type' variation starts with squares already in the bucket.
