The New Tetris — About this game
The New Tetris keeps the falling-block field but changes how line collection works. Building a 4×4 square from mixed shapes creates a silver Multi-Square; four pieces of one shape make a gold Mono-Square. Clearing through these structures awards extra collected lines, giving you a reason to plan beyond the next gap. Hold lets you exchange the current piece with a stored one. Solo Marathon rewards endurance, Sprint gives three minutes to collect lines, and Ultra times the race to 150 lines. Up to four local players can compete with garbage rules, while accumulated lines also unlock Wonders. Leave room to build a square without trapping the stack above it.
