### 5/5 — Satisfies the itch

*2026-07-19, version 1.5.2106*

I was looking for an ad-free game that was like the other classic block game because it became super annoying with ads. In my search, I was happy to discover this game! Love the missions! Forget about the other game, this one is ad free, and does the trick!

### 3/5 — Charming and cute but horrendous controls

*2026-07-10, version 1.5.2106*

There are some people who like the gesture control. Not me unfortunately. Virtual Gamepad does not help either as the “joystick” has no dead zones functioning more like a D-Pad. However, I have faith in the developer to make better controls.

### 4/5 — Quick Plea

*2026-06-03, version 1.5.2106*

Hey, love the game. Prefer it over the actual Tetris mobile version. 
Anyways, can you lower the score for the first mission level? I hate complaining about this, but like… For some reason, it’s extremely difficult to get 3 stars in only 5 lines. The closest I got was a score of 3499, that’s after hours of occasional playing just to get the 3 stars. It feels almost impossible - which is something I wasn’t really expecting from the first level. 

Again, I hate to sound like a nerd. But I would appreciate it. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Perfect - exactly what I wanted this to be

*2026-05-31, version 1.5.2106*

Thank you SO MUCH for creating this.  It is so high quality, challenges are fun, I haven’t even played all the modes. Truly wonderful!

### 5/5 — Exactly What I Was Looking For

*2026-05-17, version 1.5.2106*

Thank you to the individual who made this game, and to those that assisted them. I was looking to play this game due to some trauma I have experienced, and the other versions of it on mobile are like the Temu’s of the gaming world in sheep’s clothing.

While before I was willing to pay to opt out of overstimulating ads, I am no longer willing to do that. I will be working on trying to support only games like this one. Games made with integrity by people who actually care about gaming. Not games made by giant corporations where you can’t opt out of overstimulating ads and gambling like features, because you are the product. 

I am tired of not being able to opt out of ads. I am tired of opting out of ads just to still have cluttered, overstimulating gambling like features and “challenges” always being thrown in my face. I am tired of being reminded of how more and more things are being turned into advertisements for where they really want us to spend our money. It is so obvious that these awful corporations are trying to manipulate the most vulnerable in society (young, naive, etc.) to have gambling addictions. I do not want to give money to games that have such intentions.


So again, thank you so much for this game! 💕

### 5/5 — Better than tetris app

*2026-05-11, version 1.5.2106*

It’s so much better and no ads

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-05-08, version 1.5.2106*

No extra fluff like the official version

### 5/5 — So happy I found this!

*2026-04-02, version 1.5.2106*

Way better than Official Tetris App! No Ads, no in app-purchases, nothing distracting and unnecessary. Just Tetris, your way.

### 5/5 — No ads?! Hell yeah!

*2026-03-27, version 1.5.2106*

Excellent. Reminds me most of the original game on the Game Boy. Nooo aaaads!!!!

### 5/5 — Finally no Ads !!!!

*2026-03-27, version 1.5.2106*

I was looking for bi ads and I found it
