looking to get better at the game, i feel like my skill level is above average but not pro level by any means.
trying to close the gap, i just CANT see t spins for the life of me
and i never know what to stack where, i play Tetris Effect: Connected mostly and play using 9-0 stacking
Been learning how to t spin triple and this has literally been glitching all night, sometimes it works , other times it doesn't rotate correctly... I'm rotating it the same direction every damn time but it keeps failing.
When I do the mirror setup on the other side of the board, it always works without fail.. What's goin ON?
Heres it not working https://streamable.com/vvjt2g
And then here is it working https://streamable.com/3uq5ts
So, I made a post a while ago about a 40L sprint version of tetris I've created with WebGL, meant to be ultra-performant and supremely playable. No ads, no frills, and free forever because I simply love Tetris and wanted to code my own.
It's available here: brooksdubois.com/Brookstris
People were pretty nasty to me about it... pointing towards JSTris and tetr.io, which are great, don't get me wrong... but I wanted something I could call my own and add further features to. So I got a little upset and redacted my post, but that's alright, I got some legitimate feedback and decided to go back to the 'lab' and add more features!
I've noticed alot of people here asking "How can I improve my game?" and I built in a few core concepts around finesse and general coaching.
First, a live finesse gauge that tracks your progress through the game, and a live finesse meter that shows on a piece-by-piece basis in the corner of your eye how well you're doing. These features are enabled with the checkboxes on the bottom right.
Second, when you play through a sprint with "AI Training Export Downloads" checked, what happens is you're game is fully logged, every keystroke and placement, and rendered into a low-token human-readable markdown. Drop that into ChatGPT with a prompt like "Can you evaluate this Tetris game and tell me how to improve?" and it really works! It gave me actually super valid advice and I improved my time 58s consistently to 53s! Not bad.
Lastly, I've added a full replay mode that basically is a viewer for the markdown that reconstructs the game for you. It shows you in the UI what keys exactly you pressed, how and why it's a finesse fault, and what the best-case finesse keypresses are for moving that piece to that position. Replay also provides some other coaching metrics, like pointing out hesitations and unnecessary hold-piece usages.
So, everyone here, go easy on me... I'm just sharing this because I love the game and I truly think I'm onto something. I'm not here to debate the ethics of AI and tell you it's better then your favorite client. I'm simply here to share some coding I've done and I hope it helps you improve your game!
Any constructive feedback is entirely welcome. See you in the arena!

The last time we ever had a tie, the reigning champion was Jonas Neubauer. Let that sink in.
Love Tetris!! Just a random assortment of pics.
My new high score. I haven’t played in a while
(Don’t know what flair to put srry)
Of coursw with left/right swipe for moving piedes left and right and exceptions carved out for things like menus and pause buttons
Hi all!
I wanted to share an update on my 80-video YouTube Tetris tutorial series, which has grown by 14 videos since my last post and is now nearly finished for the canonically named T-spin setups (like Fractal, DT Cannon, etc.).
Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwRPaPIlSZ47jr-oucCJbCa2YIJFBuaug
What's Been Added:
Note: It’s advised to view the videos below from the master playlist above, as playing them on my howtotetris.com website will render them in low quality.
Beginner to Intermediate — I've now covered the common canonical T-spin methods that make up the core skill gap I have missed earlier: Kaidan, DT Cannon, Fractal, C-spin, Trinity, Sky Prop, STSDs, STMB Cave, Yoshihiro, Cut-Copy, Parapet, Mini-Triple, Back-to-back TST Tower, Magic Key, and many more. Full list: https://howtotetris.com/canonical-tetris-t-spin-setups/
Basic T-spin doubles and triples have also been covered for the beginner level: https://howtotetris.com/beginner-tetris-tutorial-videos/
Late-Intermediate to Advanced — Less common canonical methods are now done too: Shachiku Train, Anchor Set, Kaslideoscope, BT Cannon, BT-STSD, DT Cannon 2, Grim Grotto, Crush, DT-STSD, Switchback, Winsor, and others. https://howtotetris.com/late-intermediate-tetris-tutorial-videos/
More Minor Videos Still to Come:
King Crimson, Imperial Cross, Pierce, WC Plowshare, Will, Rifle, and a handful of other minor methods will be added gradually. I rarely use them, so obtaining clips is difficult.
This isn't the end of the video tutorial series. I will cover topics such as 2/3-wide, mid-game analysis, skimming, and more.
What's Next for me?
I have completed a Tetris upmarket philosophical novel based on Eastern spirituality and am actively seeking a literary agent — a very stressful, lengthy process. Any recommendations for a literary agent who specializes in gaming philosophical fiction would be welcome.
Unfortunately, after researching and teaching Tetris so intensively for 7 years (starting with my original blog at https://galactoidtetris.wordpress.com/ ), I don’t have much desire to play or stream Tetris much, unless the Tetris Company releases a new high-quality Tetris game to reinvigorate the rather stagnant Tetris scene. Or if they wish to hear my feedback to revitalize the game.
Hope the new videos are useful — happy to answer questions or take requests for future videos!
Was listening to World Cup and playing Tetris. I didn’t even look at my score till the end and I got a new PB.
Here's the replay if anyone is interested
https://jstris.jezevec10.com/replay/105048685
I havent cracked 30sec before and then I drop this sprint beating my old PB by over a second lol. I guess I can't complain tho, didn't have to grind out the 30sec sprints forever.
Never played a Tetris game before so i decided to start with them. My friend recommended me Tetris effect so I'll try that out hope i enjoy it. Anything i need to know before i dive in?
A new update has arrived to God Of Stackers! A game with abilities and characters!
A new character joins the battle: Ayano! She has a meter that charges with All-spin, Perfect Clears and can reach phase 6.
We have replays for ranked matches, and custom matches now! You can store as many replays as you want. To see the replay check out the new button on the main menu.
Stamina mode now gives you 4 gems per enemy you take out as well as 30 coins, every day you can take out 100 enemies for gems and coins! It is a really great way to get coins!
To see the full change log join the discord!
looking for a good controller for Effect: Connected. i’m using the PS5 Dualsense but currently the d-pad gets really sweaty.
edit: i’m playing on PC
I’m a PSP lover since its release and I love to see like-minded gamers in this sub.
The high score was a 2-hour game.
The way it works is that you clear stones from the board like in Go, by surrounding a group with stones of the other color. I think this makes for some pretty fun gameplay. What do you guys think, does this have potential?

About a week ago, I released a game called Rotatris. People in other subreddits seem to really like it, so I wanted to bring it over to the experts here and see what you think.
The core mechanic: Whenever a piece falls to the right, the board rotates to the right, and vice versa. If it falls dead center, it stays still.
I was initially inspired by a cool concept from creator Freya Holmér where the board spins, but figuring out how to actually clear the blocks was left as an open challenge. I wanted to turn that idea into a full game, so I designed my own clearing mechanics.
After testing a few concepts, I narrowed it down to these three modes:
I am still tweaking the UI and polishing the animations to get that perfect game feel, so any feedback from Tetris veterans is super welcome.
You can play it right in your browser at: www.rotatris.com
Don't know what other flair to give it. None of the flairs quite fit this as I recolored the Wikipedia single sided pentomino reference image to make this
