Tetris, the addictive geometric arcade game that swept the world in the 1980s, is back in this faithful Scratch adaptation by Chromeworks. INSTRUCTIONS Use arrow keys to spin and navigate the falling blocks to place them at the bottom of the screen. Your goal is to form complete rows without leaving any gaps. Rows that are completely filled up will disappear. The game ends when you run out of room to place new blocks.
