Can you explain this last sentence please? Think autocorrect has done you? I like Tetris and occasionally use Sainsbury’s for grocery delivery and enjoy things being half price but I can’t quite work out what you’re saying and why opera singers are going to make Tetris be half price.tyvm

The Effects mode has a 'chill marathon' option or something, which I assume is marathon without the speed increases.AJ wrote:Now that's all sorted, I'm going to bring this over to save it being lost in the page turn.AJ wrote:I had another couple of blasts this evening and got reminded that I don't really enjoy Tetris very much once it gets past a certain speed.

The stuff in Journey mode has a Beginner level option, which I think means it increases, but not so much.
There are also various other options in Effects mode that don't seem to be about increasing speed. Overall, there looks to be a lot of different ways of playing.

I’m the opposite now. While never being brilliant at it, I lapped it up for years. Even when I was finished with my original game boy I still kept it handy just for Tetris. I’ve played various revamps over the years and get bored straight away. It’s all just the same old Tetris.Kazuo wrote:As daft as it sounds, even with it being one of the most ubiquitous and brilliant games in the history of the medium, I never really "got" Tetris. Ten minutes was all I could muster before the boredom set in. Turns out all it needed was a Rez skin and an immersive trance soundtrack, and suddenly I can't seem to stop playing it.
