Tetris
Written by theiphonemomwebmaster
This app is a must have. I bought it just after Christmas with one of the iTunes gift cards Santa left in my stocking. This game has been a lifesaver when I’m sitting in the dance studio parking lot waiting for my girls’ classes to end. Last week it literally kept me entertained for an hour. Fabulous!
The interface is great on this game and playing it couldn’t be simpler. Instead of using your mouse (at least that’s how I used to play Tetris when it first came out for the PC, many moons ago) to rotate and move the blocks you use your finger on the screen. There’s a simple tutorial that shows you how to tap and move your finger to place your blocks. That’s the easy part. The tricky part is beating the dumb game.
The app also includes a “Magic” version which is basically Tetris with special blocks that let you do different tricks. It was a fun enough game but I never really got the hang of how to play it and to be honest I prefer the traditional version.
On the iTunes site there are reports of phones crashing during Tetris but I’ve never had a that problem. After I downloaded and installed Tetris I restarted my phone. No problems since.
