You never know what games are going to be timeless until enough time passes and Tetris
has achieved that status😄 while spawning successors like TenTrix. It was the simplicity
of building blocks together that made it appealing while reaching both😄 serious and
casual players. The gameplay has been recreated numerous times but typically maintains
the trademark colorful blocks in their😄 distinct arrangements. This game gives you a
selection of blocks to put together as you see essentially giving you more😄 options
while applying new restrictions. Even so, the spirit of Tetris is alive and well both
on PC and on😄 mobile.
About TenTrix
For those familiar with Tetris, this game could be
seen as a toned-down version. It has all the puzzle😄 and strategy mechanics of its
predecessor while putting less pressure on you. The combination of falling pieces with
the catchy😄 music can make Tetris tense, but here the tension is mainly caused by your
own moves and strategy. You never😄 know what arrangements you're going to get but you
always have a selection so you can build wherever you want😄 on the grid. The decisions
you make essentially determine the gameplay since the more creative your structuring,
the more you😄 can play the game.
How to Play
TenTrix gives you control of arrangements
of blocks that you can lay on the free😄 spaces of a 10x10 grid. Your available pieces
appear at the bottom of the screen, and you'll always receive a😄 selection of three. To
place a piece, click and drag the piece you want, then let go of the part😄 of the grid
you want to place it. After all three have been placed, you'll get three new pieces.
The😄 pieces can take multiple shapes.
Possible Shapes
L Shape
Line Shape
Square
Shape
Small L Shape
You can't rotate any of the shapes as their rotations😄 will be
determined beforehand. The goal is to place pieces creatively to make full horizontal
or vertical lines across the😄 grid which will then be removed and converted to points.
The game ends when there are no possible moves left😄 to make and you're always aiming
for a higher score.
Tips and Tricks
Since you can't rotate the pieces, think very
carefully😄 as to how their placement will affect the grid. Fill up the corners if you
can so you can leave😄 as much of the center as open as possible. Line pieces should be
saved for the sides of the grid.
