How to avoid running out of Tetris on your mobile now that it is going to disappear

Raise your hand if you are of a certain age and have never played Tetris before. That puzzle in which figures of various colors and shapes were falling and with which we had to form complete horizontal lines caused a sensation when it appeared on the Game Boy. It became, almost automatically, one of the most addictive and popular games in history, adapting with the passing of time to other formats. A game that does not go out of style, even fulfilling this June 2020 no less than 36 years of life.

Goodbye Tetris… Hello Tetris?

Although everything that is born, at a given moment in history, has to die. It is the law of life. And earlier this week, the developer of the game, the company Electronic Arts, in a tweet, expressed the following.

Dear Blitzers,

We've had an amazing journey with you, but sadly it is time to say goodbye. By April 21, 2020, Tetris® and Tetris® Blitz will be retired. Thank you all for making this journey so memorable ?

' We've been accompanying you on an exciting journey, but unfortunately it's time to say goodbye. On April 21, EA's Tetris Blitz app will be retired and will no longer be available to play.However, we invite you to continue enjoying Tetris until that day comes. We hope you enjoyed hours of entertainment and we appreciate your support. Thank you! ‘

"And now that"? you might be wondering, especially if you were still playing with the official Blitz Tetris app. Well, don't worry because you will be able to continue playing for much longer. As reported by The Next Web, video game developer N3TWORK has been working on a couple of versions of the classic game. Today you can download this application for free, both for Android and iOS formats for the iPhone.

Play the official Tetris now on your Android and iPhone mobile

We have tested the version for Android and we bring you what we think. The game is free although its size is quite large, no less than 102 MB, so we advise you to download it while connected to WiFi if you don't have a good data package in your rate.The game contains ads and we can unlock them with a single payment of 5.50 euros.

As soon as you open the game screen for the first time, the countdown begins and the game begins. The controls of the game are very simple, but at the same time they require some expertise since they are very sensitive. Simply, we will tap to change the direction of the pieces and we will slide our finger down until the pieces fit. As we progress through the game, we will go up levels and the pieces will fall faster, just like in the classic game. The game comes with help, since we will have a preview of where the piece would fall according to the place where we are going to place it. In addition, it will notify you of the next three pieces, so that you take into account the strategic placement of the previous ones.

The music is a point in favor of this Tetris developed by N3TWORK since they have remained faithful to the original melody, but giving it a more futuristic touch, according to current trends. On the menu screen we can choose the avatar of our character, by clicking on the vertical piece icon. We can also see our position in the leaderboard by clicking on the trophy icon, choose the personalization theme and, in the settings, in addition to selecting if we want music and effects, we can adjust the sensitivity of the touch to make the game easier for us.

In summary, this new Tetris comes to the salvation of all those who thought that from April they were going to be left without their favorite game .
