Tetris Blitz, the classic arcade game with a facelift

It is very unlikely that you have never heard of the game of Tetris, a classic puzzle game that first made its debut in 1984 and has been enjoyed by millions of people around the world since then.

If something Tetris has achieved, it is stay as alive as ever despite the time that has passed since its launch, something that today's video games are unable to achieve. This is due to the high level of addiction that this game causes in everyone who tries it.

The secret of Tetris lies in its playability, having as its mission the realization of horizontal lines that occupy the entire width of the panel since only then will it be eliminated. For the realization of these lines we have a series of figures that we can rotate in 90º intervals to adapt their shape to what best suits us at all times.

For a long time, in the App Store there is a full version of Tetris that can be enjoyed on any iOS device. Its price is only 0,89 euros and in return we will receive endless hours of fun.

Now, Electronic Arts surprises us with Tetris Blitz, a free version of the game that stands out for its social and competitive approach since we only have two minutes to make as many points as possible.

To add even more excitement to these two minutes of frenetic action, Tetris Blitz offers a host of power-ups that grant extra abilities such as the power of the magnet, lasers or the possibility of extending the duration of the game to get more points.

In addition to offering a renewed aesthetic, Tetris Blitz also offers a total of three control systems so that we choose the one with which we are more precise. Remember that this is vital to get as many points as possible, therefore, you will have to opt for the "Drag and drop" option, move by tapping or the classic system of sliding the pieces across the screen.

When you have already gained experience in Tetris Blitz you can encourage yourself to challenge your Facebook friends or participate in weekly tournaments to show that you are the best by forming linear combinations.

If the time trial mode of Tetris Blitz does not convince you and you prefer to enjoy endless games, it is best to download the normal version of the game.
