Use the keyboard arrows (←↑→↓) to control the Tetris blocks

The game Tetris is a classic puzzle game that was first released in 1984 for the Dendy game console. It quickly became one of the most popular and recognizable games in the world. The main goal of the game is to fill horizontal lines with blocks so that they disappear. Blocks fall smoothly from above, and the player must rotate and move them so as to create horizontal lines with no gaps. When a line is completely filled, it disappears and the player gets points. The game ends when the blocks reach the top of the screen. Tetris requires the player to have good reactions, strategic thinking and quick decision making skills. The player must quickly determine which blocks and in what order to place them in order to maximize the available space. This creates a sense of puzzle and forces the player to strategize to achieve the highest score. The game has an attractive visual style and music that many people are familiar with and still associate with the game on Dendy consoles.
