Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Let everyone have their own content.

After reading this I thought there must be a nice and simple Tetris game in the play store. Boy was I wrong. I think some guy has a "block puzzle" empire and has just rereleased the same tetris clone game a hundred times. And official Tetris is a total abomination of unlocks and achievements.

Bummer.

There are three main Tetris games as far as playability goes.
Classic Tetris for NES where you play with your foot
Tetris effect where handling and graphics are decent
Tetr.io where speed is everything

Notable mentions
Tetris 99 - tetris for Nintendo switch
PuyoPuyo tetris - sometimes you play puyopuyo sometimes you play tetris

Everything else is basically irrelevant

Tetris Effect is great, really immersive in VR

I went through a similar thing, conclusion I came to was that as Tetris is so popular, the owners of the IP have it on lockdown... it is quite a specific IP that's kinda hard to do something similar-but-the-same.

Options I came up with were pirating a copy, or xbox game pass (iirc Tetris Effect is available there). Or... are there any Gameboy emulators that run on mobile?

Yeah the ip is very horribly maintained. Imo the best game is an fangame, tetr.io

You can play regular Tetris for free on Tetris website on a laptop or something. I agree the app version is abominable

For Android there is Techmino, though it isn't on the Play Store and instead you download it from the project's github. https://github.com/26F-Studio/Techmino

I'm glad I decided to re-read the comments on this, as someone with aphantasia who really struggles with spatial stuff... WHAT THE FUCK, you weren't exaggerating haha
