Tetr.io (stylised in all caps) is a free-to-play block stacking puzzle game played in the web browser, with solo and multiplayer modes. It is a clone of the 1985 puzzle game Tetris, and is part of the Tetris variants and .io games genres.

Gameplay

Tetr.io is a puzzle game played in the web browser, with solo and multiplayer modes. The game is often described as a Tetris clone, and is part of the .io games genre. Tetr.io is free to play.

Tetr.io has solo modes like 40 lines, where players race to clear 40 lines as fast as possible, and Blitz, competing to attain the highest score within two minutes. The game has leaderboards for the fastest times on these modes. For multiplayer, there is a ranked leaderboard played in 1v1 matches (Tetra League) where a player must stack and clear blocks faster than the other, while extra blocks obstruct gameplay. There is also a battle royale mode, similar to Tetris 99.

The game offers a high level of customisability, such as with "soft drop factor" or "delayed auto shift". Its gameplay differs from similar games due to its combo system (which gives extra points for successive line clears) making quads and T-spins (more difficult moves) more favourable than 4-wides (an oft-used setup for combos).

History

The game was released in Infdev on 1 February 2020, with limited beta testing. The game went into a public Alpha on 21 March 2020. In August 2021, the game had around 2.6 million active players. As of 10 December 2024, Tetr.io is in beta, with a new mode titled “Quick Play 2.”

Reception

Publications have noted the sizeable and stable player base, as well as the competitive nature of the multiplayer modes. The game has received praise for its high customisability and low barrier of entry.
