The classic Tetris game ported to the Godot game engine<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tetris is a game where blocks fall from the top. your job is to move and drop the blocks, so they form an unbroken line, left to right. Once you have a unbroken line, the line disappears and you will be rewarded with points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what the game will look like in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
