Year of Gaming Week #19: Normal Tetris - Don't worry, your screen won't flip on you

[El Héroe Oscuro]

T e t r i s (Normal)
- Week #19 -

Think you have what it takes to be PokeCommunity's best gamer? Prove yourself in PC's Year of Gaming Challenges! Each week a new game will be picked to see who has what it takes to get the highest score in a game ranging from old school to current modern classics. The people with the top 3 scores will be given emblems due to their abilities. If you have a recommendation on what we should play next, send me a VM/PM and we'll see what we can do!​

"Tetriminos are game pieces shaped like tetrominoes, geometric shapes composed of four square blocks each. A random sequence of Tetriminos fall down the playing field (a rectangular vertical shaft, called the "well" or "matrix"). The objective of the game is to manipulate these Tetriminos, by moving each one sideways and rotating it by 90 degree units, with the aim of creating a horizontal line of ten blocks without gaps. When such a line is created, it disappears, and any block above the deleted line will fall. When a certain number of lines are cleared, the game enters a new level. As the game progresses, each level causes the Tetriminos to fall faster, and the game ends when the stack of Tetriminos reaches the top of the playing field and no new Tetriminos are able to enter."

Woah that's cool! I mean I get why everyone was mad at you and all, but it's still really cool.

It's one of my favorite flash games, it really tests your gaming skills in a way that I personally haven't experienced before.

 

[Lord Scalgon]

I'll probably upload a better result - only the beginning.

 

[Pendraflare]

Seems we're getting more visitors this week, which is good. Anyway...

Not very good compared to most of these but I think I can do better if I want to.

 

[El Héroe Oscuro]

All scores have been updated! As of now, Lord Scalgon, Juno, and Bidoof FTW lead the pack in scores! Keep up the great work everyone!

 

[Lycanthropy]

Putting a score exactly in the middle.

[Lycanthropy]

And that's third place! ^^ The second place seems so far away...

[Lord Scalgon]

EDIT: Replacing new updated score. My current one right now.

I think I'll call this a day. Merry Christmas.

 

[Lusus]

Omg those scores. I'm gonna try tomorrow.

 

[Dreg]

Have I got until tomorrow to submit a score? I might try and do what I can this Saturday Night.

 

[El Héroe Oscuro]

Just a heads up: next week's challenge will be published a little bit later than usual as I'll be out all day tomorrow/tonight.

Have I got until tomorrow to submit a score? I might try and do what I can this Saturday Night.

You've got a little over 6 hours left to submit a score before the challenge is over.
