Tetris Tweaks

Are you the type of gamer who moves your head in the direction your character/creature/car is moving? Did you think that motion sickness was the one thing missing from old school Tetris?

First-Person Tetris caters to both of these underrepresented groups. Whenever you hit the space bar to turn a block, the screen turns in the same direction. It was easier than I expected to adjust to the direction changes. But if you, like me, tend to make quick last minute adjustments of blocks, it may be a dizzying experience.

Tuper Tario Tros. is the stripy love child of Super Mario Bros. and Tetris. Mario can scurry along the first level as normal until he reaches the pictured block blockade. Mario will make his best “wtf?” noise and a screen prompt urges you to hit space, putting you- and poor, helpless Mario- into Tetris mode. Position the blocks quickly to clear the way for Mario to hop on through. Don’t drop blocks on the little guy. It will kill him. Don’t let the scenery move by and leave him behind. That will also kill him.
