How to Play Java Tetris Online
Tetris is a 1980s video game. The object of Tetris is to place the pieces in the correct location. Once you receive four straight lines without a hole or gap, you gain a Tetris. Obtaining a Tetris allows your score to skyrocket. As you move through levels, the pieces fall faster. The objective is to beat your personal best score or beat that of other players. Java Tetris games are available online, such as Triplets and Us or Funmin.
