Just missing a highscore tracker to make this the best tetris game ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for. *2023-02-22, version 1.1.8* I was looking for an app for this style of game that did not make me jump through many minutes of ads. This app has kept its ads to a minimum and i truly cannot thank them enough for that. The game is as expected and is enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Idek *2022-08-09, version 1.1.6* Ngl I saw this game being played as an ad for another block puzzle game that I had for a little while and enjoyed but falls in a few areas. Where as I really love the aesthetic that this game has. its really nice and I really love the sounds, simple yet really fun in my opinion. my one I guess critique you could say or my idk my suggestion is to be able customize different colors for the board, maybe some designs for falling blocks it could feel a little more personalized but that’s about It, I really like this game. I would say in a way underrated ### 5/5 — Try it *2022-07-26, version 1.1.6* Pentix nova made it so you can play with both Tetriminos why not make it so you can choose which tetriminos you want to play with that will make this game better and add new colors schemes and you can make your own tetriminos and add music with more sounds that would make the game better funner ### 5/5 — Nice Tetris retro game! *2022-05-08, version 1.0.7* I played this game a couple of days and I decided to write review for this app. Overall it is a nice Tetris game and the ads are not that bad. I love how buttons are well placed and it would be great if add some background music. ### 5/5 — 5 stars! *2022-02-25, version 1.0.0* This game is just like the one I played when I was a child. It reminds me my childhood. Highly recommend ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Never get start *2022-06-20, version 1.1.5* I’ve tried hundreds of times start play. Every time runs in advertising window 👎🏻 trash! Waste of time ### 1/5 — Ads cover the controls *2022-05-06* Can’t be played because the ads cover the buttons. **Developer response:** Sorry about that🥺We just fixed this bug and please make sure to update. Thank you! ### 1/5 — The ads cover the controls *2022-04-09, version 1.0.3* Really!? ### 1/5 — Confusing button *2022-04-04, version 1.0.0* The down button should be the one on the bottom, not on the top. The original game also allows shape change in a tight space, this one doesn't ### 2/5 — Shapes *2022-05-15, version 1.1.0* The shapes are all funky now and not like how they’ve been. It’s not so bad to play with but the games are shorter because none of the shapes fit together. At first the block with three pieces was the only thing out of the normal, and now all of the blocks aren’t normal. Please just bring back the old shapes since they are easier to play with. The ad placements are probably the best I’ve seen on a game though! ### 3/5 — No actualiceis! *2023-12-24* Lo único que vais a conseguir es anuncios mucho más intrusivos. ### 3/5 — The game would be great if you fixed the blocks *2023-02-02, version 1.1.8* The size of the blocks is a complaint that I have seen often in these reviews and I’ve gotta agree with the other reviewers that the block sizes are indeed the Achilles heel of this app. I love the ui and the way the game is designed in general (apart from maybe needing a few more music choices) but I think with better more Tetris esc blocks. It would make the game far more playable and enjoyable. ### 3/5 — Good but no option to remove ads *2022-05-03, version 1.0.6* This is what I was looking for: minimal, no colourful tetris blocks, retro look. It could have been a 5-star rating, but the ads are annoying and there’s no add-on option to remove them :( ### 3/5 — In general I like it, but *2022-04-23, version 1.0.5* The current version of the app is bugged, so one of the block patterns has only 3 squares in it, not 4. In general I really like this app, the ads aren’t awful and the aesthetic is just what I’m after, but getting 3-square pieces in the game now spoils the challenge. ### 4/5 — 有广告 *2025-01-09, version 1.2.3* 体验一般，去掉广告！ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bueno *2025-04-10, version 1.2.3* Súper ### 5/5 — Yes yes *2024-09-06, version 1.2.3* I like it. Like in my childhood ### 5/5 — fine *2024-08-26, version 1.2.3* I played this as a kid! Great! ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2024-08-10, version 1.2.3* Really cool game. Brings me back to my childhood. ### 5/5 — Great!!!! *2024-05-29, version 1.2.3* Super Super!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2024-01-28, version 1.2.1* I’m going to kill my self ### 5/5 — Classic puzzle game *2023-12-13, version 1.2.0* Big fan of Tetris,nice game! ### 5/5 — Wow *2023-10-18, version 1.1.9* When I first saw this game, I immediately wanted to download it because: First, Tetris is fun. Second, the app looks like it’s own game boy sort of thing. Third, the different styles make it more my style in customization. Last, the control are perfect. ### 5/5 — Classic Tetris game! *2023-10-10, version 1.1.9* Nice Tetris game with different themes available. ### 5/5 — Must try for that Gameboy feel *2023-07-10, version 1.1.9* Impeccable nostalgia. Feels a bit strange sometimes pressing the buttons without any tactile feel to them. No fault of the developer though. It does everything you need it to, well done. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
