Tetris Battle Royale

This new ultra-competitive version of Tetris will see 99 players, as the name suggests, compete with one another until there is only one left standing.

It looks classic Tetris but with other players affecting you. Clearing lines on your screen will result in “garbage” being sent to someone else’s.

This process continues until there is only one player remaining.
