CONTROLS - Tap to rotate. - Swipe left / right to move. - Swipe up or down to hard-drop. FEATURES - Fully symmetric two-player rules: same pieces, same speed, no advantage. - Boundary line moves live as rows clear - watch your territory grow or shrink. - Five AI difficulty levels in solo. - No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
