Falling-Block Puzzle Games
Arrange falling pieces into complete rows without filling the well. These Tetris-style games vary the familiar idea with larger shapes, different score rules and competitive modes. Rotation and instant-drop keys are not consistent across releases; read the controls before starting at a high speed.

Plan around larger falling shapes that need more space than the usual small pieces.
