It combines tilt-matching and block falling elements and allows you to complete each level with a high score and challenge your fellows to beat it. The game becomes challenging as you gain experience by eliminating the viruses from the playfield at each level. You must manipulate the colored capsules as they fall from the top of the screen and place them in a vertical or horizontal position to destroy the line to score points.

You can assume the role of Mario, and your main objective is to smash the viruses populated the playfield using colored capsules. There are a set of levels, and each level is full of colored blocks falling from the top of the screen. The main objective is to eliminate deadly viruses before it’s too late. The game revolves around the protagonist named Mario, who takes on the role of the Doctor.

Mario is a 1990 Arcade, Puzzle, Single-player, and Multiplayer video game, offering similar gameplay to Tetris, developed and published by Nintendo. To get a taste, have a look at the videos (and wonder in horror at who decided leaving the tutorial screens in was a good idea):Īnd yes, sure, I KNOW that "Block Party" is the most over-used headline ever, but look, right, see. The plan is for the site to both incorporate the casual gamer, with accompanying leaderboards, profiles and all the usual gubbins, and to provide a place for high-end tournaments, with professional players (I know) competing.

A few videos have appeared pushing the multiplayer games, which are below. There's also multiplayer modes, with two and six-player Battle mode, and five-player Sprint game.

Tetris Friends is a free, online collection of popular Tetris game types (Marathon, Sprint, Ultra, Tetris 1989, Survival and n-blox, along with sponsored promo versions, currently plugging Ice Age 3). And while the game is currently selling in its millions of squillions for the handheld market, it's still reinventing itself for the PC. Not only did creator Alexey Pajitnov put together the most instantly recognisable and enormously popular puzzle game, but he designed it in the shape of a mobile phone. Tetris couldn't have been designed with more serendipity.
