A production based on the license of the most famous video game in history. Tetris Effect draws not only from Alexey Pajitnov's work, but also from projects by Tetsuya Mizuguchi.

Tetris Effect is a hybrid of logical and arcade game, based on the license of the legendary Tetris - one of the most famous video games in history, developed in 1984 by Alexey Pajitnov, which has been embodied for years. The production was created by Resonair and Monstars studios. It was released by Enhance, whose founder and head is Tetsuya Mizuguchi - author of such titles as Rez, Lumines or Child of Eden.

Mechanics

While playing Tetris Effect, we arrange blocks (the so-called Tetrimina) of various shapes falling from the top of the screen; after filling in the horizontal line, this line disappears, making room for the next elements of the puzzle. The game is supervised by a point counter, which reflects the effectiveness of our actions. The game consists of more than thirty stages, each with its own unique style, its own background, background music and finally sound effects; levels reminiscent of cosmic space, dense forest or ocean depth.
