Put your Tetris skills to the ultimate test in this speedy two-minute challenge filled with power-ups and new features that will take your game to another level
Tetris Blitz takes the classic precision puzzle game to a whole new level. With its own jazzy, dub-step theme and fast-paced gameplay, Tetris Blitz will keep you engaged for hours. One observation I have noticed while playing this game is that Tetris Blitz is aimed to help you get the highest score possible with elements like the new hard-drop outline feature and the Frenzy Meter, which enables the lines worth double the points when filled. I have also noticed that this app shows some similarities to PopCap’s Bejeweled Blitz with Last Hurrahs, a two-minute time limit, and special power-ups. This brings me to one of my favorite aspects of the game: the special Tetriminos.
Using these special pieces will definitely increase your score. Of the four, default power-up options you are given, I would advise using the Quake, Lasers, and Time Shift boosts for the best, high-scoring results. Every week, the game will also display a “Power-Up of the Week”, which gives you the option to test it for free for one game and the option to buy it by using your game coins instead of money. If you are running low on coins for power-ups, your best bets are to grab coins and free goodies by taking spins on the Press Your Luck-inspired Bonus Board Blitz and to complete free offers, found in the game’s store.
The only factor that will put Tetris Blitz over the top is if it added a multiplayer, duel mode to play against friends. Having the leaderboard to keep tabs over how you are doing against your Facebook Friends and other users is fine. However, adding a two-player mode (like on Tetris Friends) would be an amazing and exciting feature for this game.
Overall, Tetris Blitz is an excellent, fast-paced, strategy game that is just as challenging as its original predecessor from whence it came. If you really want to boost your game and become a pro at this game, you can purchase Bonus Board Spins, Upgrades, Power-Ups and more coins to buy Finishers and even remove the ads in the app. But, it is not necessary, as you will have just as much fun playing the app without making additional purchases. Tetris Blitz is 50MB large, free to download and worth the download as well.
