Cool idea! Playing on desktop with a keyboard, I cannot move pieces up when they reached the floor, though. I moved one piece down too much thinking it was possible to move it up again and that caused me to stress a bit ;)

On desktop you can click and drag

I love this, spent more time on it than i thought i would. You should make this into a native mobile game.

This kind of simple game feels like it would be perfect to remain web/PWA based, what benefits do you foresee in a native mobile version?

Monetisation.

I randomly got 4 line pieces at the start, thought this was going to be a line piece only Tetris variant :D

I played it and thought it was dumb initially but then I loved the way it was not stressing me. Interesting concept

Nice! But a ghost piece would be helpful!

As someone who tried to be good at tetris but has failed miserably, this has potential to be a good tool to practice lookahead. Of course for that one'd need to have an option to see next N pieces in the queue.

But it's indeed a nice and relaxed take on tetris.

Awesome stuff, but have you considered adding an MCP interface so that an AI can play it instead of us :) :)

I know you're being facetious, but you can use the Puppeteer/Playwright MCP.

I laughed out like crazy for minutes on reading the title. I had to re-visit one of my regular saying and I thought that was cool but it ain't no more, “Business is Chess, and Life is Tetris.”

I’m going to move the first piece down sometime soon.
