Marines, get some! Ok, so that has nothing to do with this post. I ‘ve just been watching too much Generation Kill on HBO. But when I ‘m not watching high quality mini-series about marines in Iraq, I like to spend a bit of time gaming on my iPhone. And what better way to burn a few minutes (hours) than with a free and ridiculously good-looking Tetris clone called Tris. The game was on Installer in the pre-2.0 days, but it ‘s now official and in the App Store and has a real uniform and everything!
Hit the jump for a quick look at the game, and what to expect.
I think the control scheme is one of the better ones I ‘ve played with on the iPhone. You tap the screen to rotate a block or drag your finger along the left side of the screen to move a block. The blocks have a beautiful glow as they fall, which eventually fades away as they come to rest and give you some monster points in combos. It would be great to have a more flashy animation for when you clear a whole line of blocks, but otherwise all of the animations are great. I ‘m not a Tetris fan myself, but this game just goes to show how much good presentation can accomplish. Here ‘s a post of my super high score to get you revved up and achieve your own:
As a cool little bonus you can see the high scores of people around the world. I ‘m apparently one of the best players on my iPhone.
Another great feature is the auto-save function. Any time you get a call or press the home button, you should always be able to come back to your game by just re-launching it. It ‘ll load up paused and you can continue from there.
I stop talking now. You enjoy!
